Non starter started - for now

"We seem to have it narrowed down to either a corroded earth terminal or a faulty Body Control Module"

Glad to here you are back on the road saddler5. What was the problem?

Thanks Bazzamf. There is an earth terminal somewhere under the wing which had some corrosion on it. They have cleaned this up and all seems okay. There was a technical service bulletin issued by Mazda that covers this.
On another note, I noticed you have got rid of the original Dunlops from your car. I now have Uniroyals on the front and Avon on the back and grip is much better.

To be quite honest saddler5, I think anything other than the Dunlop tyre is an improvement. I've had the new tyres on for a couple of weeks now and the driving experience is transformed. Smoother, quieter and more refined.
