Yeah judd id agree its not a class thing just morons that cause they dont care about there car they have no respect for anyone elses. I know “its just a car” but ive always been fanatical about cars so ot stings abit. Siluro i know what you mean though its happened to every car ive owned now guess we just have horrid luck and should just deal with it. Still everytime i see it know enrages me. My mates bm 335 xdrive got ruined by a bin lorry luckily he had cctv 

There was a guy on here few days ago looking for one ive copied your post to him good luck with sale 👍

 Your in luck mate

Some idiot decided to dent my car with there door. Seen the car that done it aswell but never noticed it til they were long gone hate carparks lol

Hi mate welcome enjoy your wrx. It is a great forum specially if your thinking of modifying your car or if somethings wrong  great place for advice or tips. Need to see your car though 😉 😂

Best bets probably eBay or look up mb developments or jdm solutions both break subarus

Yeah savage im probably just gonna get new coolant in it its been in nearly 2 years now anyway. I have an alloy rad and it looks fine since replacing hose no leaks been there with the plastic rads before lol

I started out having a heating issue, my car heats up fine and doesnt overheat the heat in the car is fine for the first maybe 30 mins driving then it started blowing cold at 25c. If i turn the heat up towards 30c it gets warm again. I found a small leak on the small hose that connects to the rad fill neck. Ive replace that hose, filled the rad up and left header tank Cap off squeezed the rad hoses til i didnt see any bubbles and waited til the fans came on then went off. The bottom radiator hose still feel Cold however 😩 is it possible ive not waited long enough to get all the air out or am i looking at a thermostat issue?
 

thanks guys 

Thats perfect where it is mate when its warm it should sit there all the time even when booting it 👍

Every 3000 miles is more common with these cars thats what most of us do. 

Love it man enjoy your new scooby thats my favourite scooby youve got. Make sure to change your oil regular 👍

Hi mate it just sounds like a vacuum leak Check the airbox and inlet for any loose connections or brittle lines, check your bypass valve and intercooler pipework. It will make more noise with your mods but dont think it would be hissing. You can ask a mechanic to do a smoke test if its really annoying you to be sure its not leaking

Took the kids to clyde valley park today great fun they had, seen a nice hawkeye aswell sounded the business

If everything is getting hot and shaking then your calliper might be seizing up you checked it for damage to the piston boots ect? 

I had a maf sensor code not long ago it was because my airbox wasnt on right due to a crack. Check your vacuum lines For cracks Import car parts might have a replacement maf but not sure if for your model worth a look but

Try keith michaels think they insure imported cars 

The 2.0 is in the blob sti aswell (EJ207) so up to 05 you will be on the 2.0 was the american blob that had the 2.5 (EJ257)  im sure * might have they engine codes wrong ive got a wrx lol. The most important thing is a good service history with regular oil changes using good oil and of course timing belt cause regardless of miles a car that age should have had it changed at least once. Check for rust and what not. The bugeye stis are said to have forged pistons from the factory i dont know that for a fact bit if I had they money for an sti thats what id go for just cause i prefer the look of it. Theres a lot of small things to check but a quick google or youtbe search will give you all that info 👍

Stand further away 😂🤣😂

No bother 👍

Hi its a bit of a distance but camy at csk autoworx in bellshill is a great mechanic and has done hundreds of scoobys you can find him on facebook. Just remember rust repairs and welding is expensive 

You”ll need to start bringing your car cover so you can get on with your work 😂🤣😂

Thanks savage your a great help man ✊

Think its 12mm 10mm socket to get intercooler off then its either a 17 or 19mm spanner i used to get pcv off hope that helps

The hardest part will be getting the old hoses off mate you will be fine, Just a few sockets and a spanner man. If ye get stuck ye can pm me and ill facetime u or something but you will be fine 

Really struggling to find A silicone turbo inlet hose any one heard of the viper hoses? If i cant get a good used one might try one but there £160
