G’day mate Welcome to the forum–
Just signed in for the first of many visits? Please pop your location in your profile, and the year and model of your MX5 in your sig. This helps enormously when we try to answer questions…
One of the many reasons why I greet a new member in this fashion is so that a member may be able to answer a question without the inevitable …“Which car have you got?”
I have a 1.8 Mk1 I brought a " enthusiast’s shop manual " by Rod Grainger and Pete Shoemark. ISBN 978-1-845840-90-7
this is quite comprehensive, I paid about £14 new.
I use the Tec Forum on here, and google searches will find you things like parts catalogue s and wiring diagrams.
Mike
Google Mx5 workshop manual free and you will find one
Thanks Mike that’s the reply i was looking for i know i can go on E Bay but as stated many times on this forum
be careful what you purchase off E Bay as i am sure you would agree you can not always believe the descriptions
on products on E Bay.
Thanks again Mike.
Make sure you get the correct one for your car, the book quoted is for a MK1 1.8 and I found it cheaper on Amazon than flea bay
Mike
Likewise
. Although for the Mk1, many of the descriptions are also useful for my Mk2. There are also on-line wiring and workshop manuals available for download if you search, take a look here http://neomiata.com/garage/index.php.
Also, try looking on Miata.net. A lot of useful freindly help and information there too.
Yep, I couldnt remember that link, its a great resource. While I was still at work, I downloaded and printed out the full workshop manula for mine, must have been about a thousand pages
.
Note, the various (and usually illegally) scanned copies of the MX5 workshop manuals are generally based on North American market cars, for which there are significant differences from the UK/Japan market cars. Never pay money for something someone has basically ripped off (stolen). So, you might find them inaccurate for some jobs.
For 98% of jobs, the Veloce manuals are fine (http://www.veloce.co.uk). The authors have actually written and edited these manuals, using UK spec MX5s and Eunos Roadsters. The 2% of jobs not covered are covered by the MX5OC forum (see the technical guides, and under-used search facility, pretty much everything that appears on other websites has already been covered here, in detail, by various contributors since 2005) and Miataforum, which although a US-specific forum, as a forum and email list, has been in existance since 1994, and has a very large international user base.
Otherwise, you can buy a manual from Mazda, along with the supplements specific to your car.
My god call the police, sorry chaps for helping
They are not that much different from LHD and RHD MK 1 and Mk 2, so if anyone is stuck, just shout, that is what we are here for ,is that not right AT?, are am i still on the wrong train to helps ville.

Excellent M-m give that man a medal…
Don’t worry M-m a lot of people don’t understand the difference between unlawful and illegal. There is no crime involved here, just a civil affront for which you may be asked to stop doing it by a civil court, and even have damages against you…but the police are not in the slightest bit interested as it is NOT illegal to copy without permission.
Thanks buddy
But i am not worried, that info is open to find if looked for hard enough, i am just doing what i do, helping owners, and if it means helping them find links and info needed easier to help them save money, i will do it, everytime.
That is why i am still around, i am a owner to, and do not waste money, as we are all working to our personal budgets, in what ever way that maybe.

Well to be fair, you’re covered anyway under the fair use argument…it is being reproduced for educational purposes, and seeing as Mazda doesn’t sell the manual to the public, no damage is done, so it would be hard to argue for any kind of settlement in a case like this, just a ‘cease and desist’ order at most.
Be careful with these manuals. As far as I know my 1990 Roadster doesn’t have anti lock brakes. I wonder how much of the rest of the info is ■■■■
I am sure you will find something, knock yourself out and go deep and search them all Geoff, am i missing something here OC badge wearers?

Thanks mate for your help and thanks to all the rest for replying .
