Around a year ago now

RIght, A problem has arisen since her time at this wonderful garage... she's now overheating!! Just got to work and I had to keep her above 3,000 rpm for the temp to come down multiple times. Moment I hit boost to get up to speed the needle rises, keep her below 2,000 rpm, needle slowly rises after a while??!! hasn't done this since I needed the rad and rad cap changing.... will check coolant levels once she's cooled down but this is really starting to annoy me... this wouldn't have been caused by running around at high rpm, in a low gear, with a cold engine would it??

Mark- I have compared the gps to my speedo multiple times before hand, and more since Tuesday, it is roughly 3mph slower than the actual speed as you say 👍🏻 And yes, wide angle lenses do give people doubts as to how fast vehicles are going.. that was one of the guys biggest points, it didn't look like it was doing even 50 on the footage, he kept saying it again and again... Shifty- that's sensible really. I would like to think that most garages would do this, but now I know otherwise. but to clarify ☺️ it's mainly the speed I have an issue with, especially as I do use that road often!! And thank you everyone, again 👍🏻 You've all been great

Yeah I'm keeping it offline for now, have handed it over to the police to decide what they what to do with it. Thank you again everyone, you've helped keep me level headed about this. all this was from a local garage in the tailgate area of Crawley, I'm not naming and shaming just yet as that could make me liable under some law somewhere, and could be taken to court over it. Going by what I've heard or read about with similar situations around the country... and yes, all these cameras and sat navs use gps, so if anything did need calibrating it would be the satellite tracking me 🤣

Hey all, sorry not getting back sooner, thanks for replying 👍🏻 Manager was interested until he saw the speed, then started saying I need to do the route again, get my camera sent off for calibration testing. All because the little smart car in front didn't seem to be going that fast, it didn't look like he was going 70mph. But that's what the speed stamps are for surely?! Then walked off before I could say anything further. The guy who tested it said he'd owned 3 subarus before hand and he knows what there like, then went on to say he saw the camera and only went about 45mph tops..

That's what i'm doing tonight after work. Just trying to cover all my bases and know where I stand should they try and squirm out of it. Thank you for replying

Hi all, would just like some advice really on what can I do with this situation. My scoob went in for some new brake pads, all round. and unbeknownst to them (and myself) my dash cam was recording for the whole hour it was there. I know they need to test them afterwards, but that's where i'm a little hazy on the protocol for the bedding in procedure? do you take the car up to 30mph then slow but steady brake to a stop, then up to 40mph brake a little harder and come to a stop, initial test done?? and then the obvious take it easy for a week or so while they properly get set in once they hand the car over. Now, my camera recorded a top speed of 77mph going down a residential road with cars parked up on both sides of the road, technically the speed limit is a 20mph zone, as there is a school they actually drive past at around 55mph. so when I do confront them about this, and if they just dismiss the whole situation as if it never happened, would a situation like this be able to hold up in court. Thanks in advance ☺
