Engine Age
Hi,
hope you had a good xmas and haven't fallen off your unicycle too much.
A few months ago we talked about getting proof of the age of your engine to avoid having to fit a cat. After a bit of trawling I found this on the westfield ownver site.....
Mazda Engines:
Call Mazda UK on 08457 484848 and ask to speek to the Homologations Manager.
Give him the engine number and then he'll take down a few personal details and ask you to write in with a cheque for £35 (prices correct in 2008)
Send the payment to:
Mazda Motors UK Limited
Anchor Boulevard
Dartford
Kent
DA2 6QH
Then a couple of weeks later you'll get a letter back confirming the engine number and it's manufacture date. If the donor was an import (Eunos/Miata etc) there may be a slightly longer delay as they need to contact Japan to get the necessary details for the car.
I haven't done this yet but it could save having to put an awfull cat on!
Cheers
David
