Default 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
