Hi<P>I am desperate, I have an imported (to UK) Autozam AZ-3 which is basically a MX-3 with different badges on. It has the 1500cc DOHC 16v engine (B5 series). I have so far been totally unable to get any parts for this car after having suffered from a blowing a head gasket. I have called various so called Import specialists who tell me they cannot help, even Mazda customers services have told me I will have to call Mazda in Japan and hope there is someone who speaks English at the other end.<P>I called my local Mazda agrage who told me the VIN info was not complete but I gave them what I have which is everything on the car:<P>Model: E-EC5SA<BR>Chassis/Engine: EC5SA-109197<BR> <BR>All I want is a headset or individual gaskets so I can get my car back on the road..<P>Can anyone help me?

I would suggest you try import engine specialists like japparts or similar. They should be in a position to help you where Mazda dealers are just pissed cause you didn't go direct when buying your motor.
