Sticky accelerator pedal

After leaving standing for a while (like overnight) the accelerator pedal is sticky and requires a slight kick to free up. I understand its the butterfly valve in the inlet manifold. Any workflow in order to repair/sort out?

Re: Rear Lights - Rear Door

Thanks for the comments. As I mentioned I got to the same place with the plastic off and the interior of the "tailgate" exposed but am still not sure which clips, screws, etc are required to remove the light cluster. Does the whole cluster - ie all of the lights - come off the rear of the ...

Engine Squeak

I have a 2L Petrol 2004 and have recently developed a kind-of squeak from the engine. Its only apparent at low revs/tick-over. I suspect the alternator belt which looks like it needs changing or a bearing. Is there a tension pulley I cant quite see the set-up and is there a description on how to cha...

Front Grill/Trim

Does anyone know if you can re-chrome a plastic trim? The trim and the Mazda badge around the grill on my 2004 2.0 L is just about done. If so where? Also before I go yanking the parts off do the chrome bit come off the black grill section - old plastic can be fragile and rather brittle - a bit like...
