Dogconker Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 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.

R4WLV Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 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
Dogconker Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 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.

Dogconker Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 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
Sandals Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 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! 5
Dando1 Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 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
R4WLV Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 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?
Dogconker Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 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
david1972 Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 Can really tell my car is due its service...last tank in the 23s for mpg [emoji33] Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk
martyc Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 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.

mikedigirepro Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 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 1
Gambit Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 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. 1
mikedigirepro Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 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 2
Gambit Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 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 :)
