Well the car will be 3 years old (only 20k on the clock) in October & the warranty will run out. I had noticed a slight misfire & reading through some posts on the RX-8 site there seems to be a problem with the HT leads that Mazda have fitted......they are cr*p. So rather than wait for a failure I booked it in for a service. I will provide the garage with the oil (good deal through Opie we should see if we can get a group buy/discount for OJC), new HT Magnecor leads & new NKT plugs. Hope by supplying some of the parts I will save me some dosh plus I know (as I will check) that decent parts will be fitted. So with any luck by next Wednesday all will be running smoothly & as effciently as possible. Also trying to see if the "corroded" wheels can be replaced under warranty. Will post up the results & costs just in case another RX-8 owner ever joins.

Cheers
