How to Restart Your Car's Engine

Model: Mazda Mx 5 NB, MK 2 - Years 1998-2005
Part: Engine

Sometimes batteries run flat unexpectedly if headlights or lights are left on, making this issue more common than you might think. In such cases, do not panic; instead, calmly look for a solution that can be quite simple and quick. The first step is to use a pair of jump leads to power your battery with the help of another car. Open the bonnet and locate your battery with the respective terminals: positive (+) and negative (-). Take one lead and connect one end to the positive terminal of your battery. The other end will obviously connect to the positive terminal of the other car's battery. Repeat this with the second lead, connecting the negative terminals of both batteries. Start the second car, which will provide power to your battery. You should then hear the starter motor engage.

Installation of Upgraded Intercooler Radiator with Pipes

Lift the vehicle on suitable axle stands, remove the front wheels, and then the front bumper and grille. Proceed to remove the front headlights; drain the coolant, remove the intercooler radiator and the hoses connecting it to the intake system. Position the new intercooler radiator in the grille, temporarily securing it with cable ties, and mark with a marker the part of the metal that needs to be removed to allow the new hoses to pass through. Cut the marked portion of metal and apply a gasket to the edge. Remove the inner cover of the bumper and position it near the radiator to identify any interfering parts to eliminate: again, apply a gasket to the edge of the cut. Create brackets for securing the new radiator and proceed with the installation of the connecting pipes from the radiator to the intake, shaping and connecting them appropriately. Finally, reassemble the bumper, headlights, and grille.
