stants Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 Could I be cheeky and ask you to measure it roughly for me mate ? I've got to take the plastic gaurd off and see what the crack (no pun intended) is 1st subaru uk are getting back to me with a price and availability. I'm half tempted to get an impreza one and chop it out extend and weld back together. Can anyone see any problems in this ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 Removed the cover although the pipe is rusty I think it's ok as when you start the car the smell comes from this area So I'm back to square one I can't see what's up there. I think it may be the tank lid nod sealing properly ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Seeing as you disturbed the sender unit assembly recently, I'd double check the tank pump access plate rubber seal . Maybe seal it with some tape around the joins to see if the smell goes to see if that's the issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've ordered a new rubber for subaru in the states, believe it or not it was cheaper and quicker than subaru uk. Subaru also rang me with regards to a filler neck. His opening words were 'are you sitting down' Knew from that point on it was gonna be expensive, 206+vat to be precise [emoji22] so I'm gonna treat my existing one and hope it's just the sender gasket. Gambit, no rush I'm just curious to see if it would work 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfnick Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Left my work drill on the last job :( luckily it's only 30 minutes away from home in an area called Dore up on hills. Got a good few inches of snow up there. Went in the Scoob and took the main roads there, aaaaarrrgggghhh!!! The salt!!! :( :( could hear it hitting the car almost all the way there. Decided to take the back roads back to avoid it on the way home. First time I've used it properly in the snow since I avoid driving as much as poss in winter due to the salt. Holy ****, that was one of the most terrifying and equally fun drives I've ever had! As soon as I hit any kind of boost at any time the back end slipped out. Even on the straights. I left the pub car park where I last worked and picked my drill up from completely sideways anyone who says they've drive these in the snow and it never slipped or went once must have winters tyres on or aren't putting there foot down enough haha! Because mine with its normal tyres on was all over the place, but in a controllable way still as long as I didn't go mad and keep my foot in :D Only problem was, due to the aforementioned tyres, it's useless at stopping! Had one big fright going down a steep bit where it just wasn't stopping and I was looking at going straight into a T junction and possibly the wall. Luckily managed to stop just in time by pumping the brakes with light pressure and finding the thicker bits of snow. Quite impressed with myself how I handled the situation haha. Still, any downhill parts after that I took at a granny pace. Didn't get stuck once either. One of the most surprising moments was when I stopped at the top of a steep hill (give way) which had loads of snow on it and when I pulled off it didn't struggle at all. Very impressed at that, especially since it has the wrong tyres on :) Needless to say, after all this when I got home my heart rate was raised slightly ;) absolutely brilliant fun. Just got to clean the salt off tomorrow now. May just give it a quick wipe off though since I'll be going on that meet on Saturday so will no doubt end up with loads more on and give it a good clean after that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Fished this poor fella out from behind my intercooler. Wondering whether it's worth trying to re-straighten the fins.IMG_05581.JPG I know easier ways to catch birds :D 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogconker Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Does your method involve rohypnol? If so I think you've got your bird types mixed up Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaulson Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Everyone needs a scare sometimes Nick, keeps the heart healthy ;). I broke my front splitter playing in snow... well worth it lol. It's only an after market one I got off eBay. Nothing as scary as what happened to you though. Hopefully snow is still around at the weekend, I'm going playing even if no one will go with me!

Also thinking of buying a Subaru Justy... As a work and back car lol.They do very hood mpg. I did look into it before. Not viable for me since I travel 25 miles to work min and most of the way at 57mph. Dont like to be cramped either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaulson Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Yeah, there's one near me £500 in white! Needs a little work but my bro in law said he doesn't mind doing it. Could keep it for a year and either sell it or make it a sleeper ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_gr7 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 What engines do the justy's use? are they flat fours too? I wouldn't mind going for one, would save me a fortune in petrol to and back from work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaulson Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 They use an inline 4 engine I believe :). They will take a Boxer though... good project! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savage bulldogs Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Got a soaking today trying to jet wash the salt off from the underside of the scoob and under the arches [emoji53] However it Does look like the paintwork I did in the arches last summer as held up well [emoji41] then Chucked a sponge at it and the clay , polish , wax and paint sealer (pre winter prep) seems to be keeping it at least looking shiny from a distance [emoji4] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaulson Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Oh yes, 3 cylinder. They changed to 4 later on :). Looking well there Savage, I almost clayed my car today but the weather looked like it was taking a turn for the worse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
