I need one of these, what's my easiest solution team (I'm on the Shore if they're worthwhile getting from the dealer in Wairau Road)

TIA

Hit up Mazda man =] Best quickest and cheapest.

The same way I like my hookers.

I think Broomfish also does them, though unsure on price compared to Mazda. Mazda is usually surprisingly reasonable though

I'm on my cellphone waiting for John Andrew Ford.... holy crap do they want the business, guess not... Sanjay finally answers... ok he's looking,looking... looking.... FFS he's saying he has to call back as thier system is down.

- I said, forget it and he comes up w/'actually can have one tomorrow for you for $91.60 + GST.

No thanks. - do I sound dumb?

... but I don't see them on Broomfish either...

I can see them in the States for $26.95 w/ free shipping to my Sister in Florida & then I can get free post here... crazy we have to go to these extents thought...

I'll call Broomfish... well done Broomfish for answering, sadly Peter tells me he no longer does them.

Ok - I have a new idea....

You can also try Mx5 Mart he usually has everything but is a pain in the ass to get hold of

mazline normally stocks them he tells me but he's not got any in right now, he was selling just a few yearly at $78 + GST

I am moving onto plan 4 now.

Try Mazda in town then, $91.60 is excessive for that boot. I got the whole kit from mazda (the big rubber one, plus the gearbox gaitor) for less than $100 from Mazda about a year ago, can't see them having gone up that much in that time.

Good Idea - ok, just called Ross at MX5mart, he answered immediately & I am now 100% sorted for an excellent price too I might add.

Thanks a lot MX5mart excellent service.

They made a big difference. Make sure you change the turret oil as well if you have a 5speed and the lower rubber thing also

I've had 2 great buys, and 2 HORRIBLE experiences. Won't deal with him unless its a last resort personally

Well just after I left the computer I had another extremely positive development - this forum out of the car forums I have belonged to wins, 'hands down' in terms of it's members helpfulness and generosity, people like Keith, Euen & 2LOW2C thoroughly deserve all the props they get

So thank you very much to both Ross from MX5mart & 2LOW2C who phoned me yesterday afternoon when he saw this thread with a deal on the transmission boot for the UUBER car, it was deal too good to pass up and almost certainly unbeatable.

Cheers Paul from Furn Rentals - quite possibly the best MX5 Tuning Shop this side of the Black Stump.

I paid $172 for both seals for my NB a month ago from Ultimate Motor Group
