Is the motor running smoothly when it is running? Any unusal or louder noise when it is running.. A spark plug lead could be off or perhaps something on the intake side is not on correctly.. Why not call RACV tonight? Are you still able to access the Mazda Assist service? At least these guys (used in the most non-sexist way) should be able to spot anything that is obviously not right and fix it for you...

Personally, it sounds dangerous to me and I would be on their door step first thing Monday morning (7am)..

Have you previously had the starter motor, battery and plugs upgrade done?
