December 11, 201510 yr Mines in the dealers today to be reserviced after they didn't do half the stuff last time and ended up sacking the entire service team. Also it's having a new seat frame and inners finally. Again because of the service team that were there at the time. Hopefully it'll all get sorted this time. Git a 2015 XV for the day now. Apart from the stereo being a Dab system and a few tweaks to the dash display it's not hugely different to mine. They had a couple of Orange ones in for servicing and they looked awful.

December 11, 201510 yr It took them 3 attempts to get me the correct wheel centre in! I'd have been telling them I wanted that stickered up Wrx Sti that's in the showroom, for the day lol
December 11, 201510 yr Do you use Pinkstones in Stoke then? They have changed the service team completely, including that stupid girl on the front desk who just wouldn't listen to. All the mechanics went too, because they didn't do anything. I wouldn't have stayed with them except that they have completely revamped everything so I thought they're much more likely to be ok now. There's a whole saga behind the problems but they just sat around doing nothing pretending they were doing loads, they didn't even take my wheels off during a service which is how they git rumbled be used only I knew where the locking wheel nut key was.

December 11, 201510 yr I do wish my iPhone would stop replacing the word "got" with the word "git" when it feels like it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
December 11, 201510 yr Scoop is installed! Was relatively painless apart from two bolts on the old scoop had rusted on and took a lot of sweary words and two broken clips to remove! Gave the scoop a coat of wax before installing as well!
December 11, 201510 yr Anyone know if a set of 2002 WRX springs will fit on my 2001 classic sports wagon? I'm assuming they'd be stiffer than the sports stock ones? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
December 11, 201510 yr Yes I've used them for a few spares. The lad (think it was Wayne) on the spares desk was pretty helpful but since he left, that girls crap. I asked for a written quote for a new wheel due to pothole damage, she said we can't do that! Where've they had this new bunch of proper techies all of a sudden? Is it the old holdcroft team from Leek Road?
December 11, 201510 yr They've put out from them, lead you seems to be from Toyota. That girl had gone now too. Turns out that even though my car went in to have the seat foam replaced in October, they didn't put a new foam in at all, just plumped it up a bit and gave it back. The new lot seem a lot more clues up. I think that Wayne has gone too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
December 11, 201510 yr Can really tell my car is due its service...last tank in the 23s for mpg [emoji33] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
December 11, 201510 yr Got my car back although they didn't do the up pipe today so will have to go back in and have the map tweaked to suit at the same time. Initial impressions are good- now boosts to around 1.25 bar, and flicks up to 1 bar in a flash. Would feel more comfortable once it's been checked on a rolling road though.

December 11, 201510 yr I still never let it get this dirty lol I used to wash it down in the snow haha :P
December 11, 201510 yr my car needs a clean tomorrow never seen it this dirty :( I feel your pain mine is filthy just waiting for the weather to be dry at the weekend, fat change of that happening lolSent from my E6653 using Tapatalk
December 11, 201510 yr I'll tell you what I've done....., my first Subaru. I've replaced most of the suspension. The throttle body, the turbo, the clutch back in April and now replacing the clutch yet again and Flywheel tomorrow. Car has cost me a fortune since I bought it. 2008 Subaru Legacy Diesel 95000kms on the clock. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
December 11, 201510 yr Sounds like you've got yourself a keeper mate.... now haha. Sorry to hear bit disappointing start but glad to hear you've put it right. Sure many years of fine motoring will follow.
December 11, 201510 yr To be honest I love driving it. Traded a 5 series in. It's a much better drive when it works. Had it remapped. It's now putting out 212bhp and fitted larger turbo and Throttle body. That probably contributed to downfall of flywheel
December 12, 201510 yr Nice yeah soon puts wear on other parts when you start to up the bhp. And I know what you mean I had a m3 for awhile but still drove the scoob more m3 was more comfortable to drive but I felt it just wanted to kill me :)
December 12, 201510 yr took my !Removed! splitter off on a kerb in services car park on my way home, so now thats on my christmas list...anyone know any decent ones? and reasonable prices? the one i had came with the car when i bought it so not sure what it is.. thats whats currently on it, now missing the middle bit, might tiger seal it back on till i get a new one
December 12, 201510 yr Author Whoop snow ! We've just got biblical rain here [emoji25] My maf cleaning looks like it didn't work that well and is playing up again. ****
