Product Description
Product Description
With open-topped styling and performance evocative of the classic sportscars of the 60s, the Mazda MX-5/Eunos had to be a huge international success and that's exactly what it's become. Now a familiar sight on the streets and boulevards of the world, the MX-5 is owned by real enthusiasts, the kind of people who will want to have hands-on involvement with the maintenance and repair of their prized possession. For those enthusiasts, here is what we believe is the best, easiest to use, workshop manual in the world. Rod set out to create a new kind of owner's workshop manual - friendly, easy to understand, easy to use and, yet, more detailed than any other manual currently available: two years later Rod's "MX-5" manual was the result. Rod, and fellow enthusiasts Pete and Judith, stripped down an MX-5 in an ordinary domestic garage using ordinary tools and, in the process, took over 1500 step-by-step photographs. The result of all this work is a superbly detailed text which passes on to the reader every detail of important jobs, including how problems can be overcome without resorting to special tools. This manual even tells the reader the size of nuts and bolts so they can start work with the right tools and all clearances and torque values are given in the text as the reader needs them. At paragraph level, a unique symbol system provides cross-references or tells the reader that there are helpful associated photos, drawings and tables. The dreaded words 'reassembly is a reversal of the dismantling procedure' are banned and every task, from changing a bulb to rebuilding the gearbox, is described in full. Besides detailed coverage of maintenance and repairs, this manual includes advice on rustproofing, cosmetic tuning and mechanical tuning. Rod's manual was prepared with the assistance of Mazda. The manual applies to all 1.6 litre models built between 1989 & 1995. Most of the manual is relevant to later 1.6 litre models too.
About the Author
Rod Grainger, the Publisher at Veloce, has been involved with automotive publishing for forty years, and has written a number of car-related books including several workshop manuals. Rod thought the design and concept of the Mazda MX-5 was inspirational and that it would attract owners interested in maintaining, repairing and improving their cars. Also that such owners would appreciate a different kind of technical manual, one aimed at enthusiasts and written in a friendly, jargon-free, even humourous manner.

Format:Paperback
Overall this is a pretty good manual, although I have little experience of other available manuals for the same car. It compares very well with older Haynes manuals, particularly with regard to the illustrations. Some of these could still do with being clearer, though. The only omission I have found is the lack of any imformation about the speedometer cable and the way it is attached to the instrument itself. Still, I suppose that some things you just have to find out for yourself. It would have been handy though, as I am not as supple as I was 50 years ago.Mazda MX5 1.6 Workshop Manual

Bought this as a gift for my boyfriend who recently bought a eunos. The book is very detailed and is basically written by someone who has actually taken the car to bits and put it back together again, so suitable for advanced users. There are plenty of photographs and is really handy for anyone who owns a mazda mx-5 and is prepared to do a bit of maintainence or modifications themselves.

I found the manual invaluable when changing the timing belt on my MX5. I found it rather difficult to navigate through it. A good index would be helpful. I was a little disappointed that it has little to say about air conditioning
