My fitter tells me the alloy must be porous. Anyone got a spare forked wheel?
Next my key fob refused to open the car, just the once. No matter what I tried (including the put it under your chin trick) worked. Now it is fine again. Rear screen heat was next. All the lights come on but no worky. Ditto the heated seats. Had the A/C regassed in the summer but must have a leak as that has packed up again which is very annoying when I have my wet dog in the back.
Strangely though all these things have happened since I went to look at a Mazda 6 tourer. Do you think she is upset?  |

mine were like that on a previous car and ended up taking the tyre off and getting angle grinder on the inside rims of the wheels and going round it to remove old flakey paint to get a good smoooth surface,re-seal and re-mount the tyre....job done
hope this helps
