    The Enthusisast's Manual for 1.6's. Mazda Shop Manual for my '99.

    Unless you are a Mazda-trained mechanic, I'd get the Enthusiast's Manual. It's more of a step-by-step manual and it doesn't assume you already know how to do everything. If you think you want a Shop Manual, order one off Ebay for cheap- they can be useful, but not worth the $100+ pricetag from Mazda. ymmv

    My car exceeds my driving ability. That's the only possible explanation.

    The enthusiast's manual sounds like it's what I'm after...

    I used to have one but I couldn't find it when I tried to dig it out the other day. Did I loan it to someone on here? Anyone find one after hosting a tech day?

    Nope! Nobody around here has yours....

    I think since I got a few pages greasy, I'll get off my and order a new one for you and keep it.

    Wow my memory really sucks... I have only the vaguest recollection of loaning it to you.

    Yeah, but you owe me from the thing with the guy in the place and I'll never forget it. We can call it even.
