savage bulldogs Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Glad you sussed it eventually and I'd have never known the answer, as I've never worked on a dccd impreza . At least you'll hopefully soon start to enjoy it soon 😉 And don't let it put you off ,working on it. I've had some proppa "flick a match at it moments " but I've always learned something once I've sussed it , so there's always something positive to take from it 😊 You've checked and tested a bit of the electrical system and we've all learned about the difference in hawk n blob neutral switches 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Great to hear you got it fixed and feel your pain when it comes to trouble shooting stuff yourself so the one thing I / we on the forum can offer is thanks.... for sharing it may well be your experience will help others in the future 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfnick Posted August 22, 2019 Author Share Posted August 22, 2019 Yea hopefully it’ll help out people in future. I finally got the switch changed today at SSS, the engine light has gone and hasn’t returned!!! Woohoo!! To be honest not sure what to do now. I really need some cash (I bought it at the wrong time really, I’m struggling financially, stupid decision) so may need to sell it and with having these issues straight away I’m already a bit !Removed! off with it.If I can’t sell for a decent amount though I will just have to try and get on top of it and save up for the other bits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfnick Posted August 28, 2019 Author Share Posted August 28, 2019 Unfortunately I’ve hit even more money problems meaning I really can’t afford to keep hold of this and get it all sorted :( proper gutted. I’ve put it up for sale in the forum and many other places. Knowing it needs a bit of TLC but bearing in mind the engine work and 6 speed DCCD, do you guys reckon £9000 is fair or still too much? I’ve advertised it elsewhere at £10000 knowing I’m going to have to drop the price but I know if I put it at £9000 on those places I’ll just get pricks offering £6-7000 for it. Should hopefully remove some time wasters elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Gutted for you nick 😏 I'd love a white type r , something about a white classic that really floats my goat 😎 Think seeing as shoddy type r's are fetching £9k someone is gonna be very happy with yours , especially already having a dccd 6 speed and stronger engine . Best of luck with getting back on your feet financially and with the sale ,bud 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfnick Posted August 28, 2019 Author Share Posted August 28, 2019 Thanks Savage, feel a bit better about it at £9k now then. I do tend to always undersell my cars lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Can't remember the last time I saw a running type r for under £8k , so with the £2k dccd 6 speed I'd thought it would be well worth that . Let alone with a engine upgrade, too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfnick Posted August 28, 2019 Author Share Posted August 28, 2019 Good to hear Savage, thanks. You need to get rid of these money gremlins mate [emoji17]Sent from my SM-G960F using TapatalkI know mate. It’s getting me pretty down to be honest. I’ll get on top of it someday though I’m sure.

Jay762 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Having gone through similar and had to part with cars / bikes before I completely empathise - hopefully you will be stable again sooner rather than later and as Savage mentioned 9k asking for your motor is well worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
