Dogconker Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 Got to wash mine and the missus car, off to Dublin tomorrow for the week. [emoji19] Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk
stants Posted November 30, 2014 Author Posted November 30, 2014 Discovered the top rad hose weaping slightly at the join with the radiator, nothing major, don't think its the radiator as it's only 18 months old. So tightened the hose clamp and see what happens
Dogconker Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 Just finished washing, waxing and interior cleaning of both scoobs. Settling down now for a well earned pint and a blast on far cry or gta[emoji2] Got a good deal really, wife wanted to do house work, I said I'd clean and wax her car while she did house work, result!

david1972 Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 Washed both of ours today too...wife ill in bed, bless her. Random question....at what tread depth do you replace your tyres? Am down to about 4mm on rears and hoping to get through winter before changing. Do about 1k per month Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk
Dogconker Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 I generally look at about 2mm to replace with the law obviously being 1.6, can't really judge much lower than that, you should be ok of a couple of months yet unless you scrub the tyres a lot Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk 1
tom_gr7 Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 My new tyres still aint turned up... seems they are coming from Germany though, so cant complain really.

Th4neuk Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 Hey guys, Not been on for a fair bit so nice to be back. Finally got the scoob back from the wife and given her the Audi back. Currently it is filthy and looks like I've been a reccy vehicle in a rally! The wife's bump is growing rapidly but she is having a really tough time of it. Roll on march so at least she can get well again (even though sleep will be a distant memory). Not done a lot with the outback but have bought an early 1960 mini so having a bit of fun getting that ready to rebuild. Reckon I'll be a dab hand at welding when I'm done lol. We got any meets coming up?? Cheers Alan
bitman Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 drove up and down Zandvoort, NL with my Forester without any problems. only thing was that the windscreen rubber came lose what we fixed when on the Dover / Calais ferry :)
Steveuk260.Esq Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 Finally got round to washing forester today, but most people had same idea, had to wait 20 minutes to finally wash mine.
stants Posted December 1, 2014 Author Posted December 1, 2014 Leaky top hose started again, only seems to do it feom cold, so im going to rotate the clip 10 degrees so it sits closer to the body and see it that stops it untill I order a new set.
Gaulson Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 Got my car back on Friday, having to be gentle with the turbo for 100 miles. We tried on full throttle boost to test and it still bogs down, misfire :(. Need to find out what from now, I'm guessing plugs have been damaged when it had the bad coil packs. Also blew an exhaust gasket. Feels like it's never ending!
quit Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 started mine first time in 2 weeks!! took it for quick spin down down the road and its missing and spluttering! 1
Gaulson Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 Oh I know the feeling :(. Mine is doing that, only on full load though. I'm craving the power but it wont let me have it!
Gaulson Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 I had iridium plugs in mine that have done 10k miles, sad times! Think I won't bother with such expensive ones again. What you going for?
quit Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 i run PFR7Bs mate £40 a shot but they are worth it, they can burn hotter but as my car isnt used much they dont last long!
quit Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 these are what i run http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Impreza-EJ20-WRX-STI-Turbo-NGK-Platinum-Cold-Spark-Plugs-Set-x4-PFR7B-/131341561489?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item1e94912e91 alot better than the 6 version which are standard subaru ones 1
Gaulson Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 Might try some of them, got a day off this week so can get them changed. Hopefully get the car back running properly!
quit Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 which iridiums you using? Used them before on a turbo charged vectra and it spat them out
Gaulson Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 Not sure which ones they are, been in for over a year now. Still waiting on my bill for all the work I've had done as well.
Steveuk260.Esq Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 I would go for ngk heat 7 for unmodified engine and modified engines heat 8. Regardless I would go for NGK. Their about £30-£40 for set of 4s but they are quality. 1
tom_gr7 Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 got my tyres! yay sat on the kitchen table at the moment lol. Missus aint impressed. 1
