Mum that's what I thought should happen to. Unfortunately it doesn't work when I ground it. Are there any other usual suspects? Fuse maybe? Not with the car for a few days so throw ideas at me and I will report back when I can. Ta

Hey, I have a 2000 year turbo 2000 and was wondering if the port under the steering wheel was an obd2 port? Or something else? Ta

Hey, I went to use the horn the other day and nothing happened. Took off the horn cover and saw why!!!! The horn problem is the horn button I have has 2 connectors and I have connected the wire to both and it doesn't work. My question is should it work? Or will I need a horn push with one button? It's a 2000 reg turbo 2000 Ta

Sounds like the same difference between mine as well, have only slipped it in in idle just to hear it. As for the fuel leak when I bought the car there was what appeared to be a blue pipe on the fuel line which I assumed had been put in correctly, however it ended up just being a bit of plastic wrapped around and jubilee clipped on. Have taken it off and there are no obvious holes so am filling up slowly till it leaks and comes through so I can find the hole and patch it up a bit better. Apart from that all is well and loving the car.

Here are the photo's of my turbo. Has been good so far, just the noisey exhaust and a small fuel leak (tiny and only when full and in the process of fixing.) Also got a baffle today and just have to get the bolt to fit it so will get some video up when I can.

I'm actually in Leeds at the moment. So not too far from Sheffield. Definitely interested. Just hope I can find time between uni and my job to come down!!!!

Weather has been crap here as well. Used the only good weather to get photos of the mx5 to sell it. Will try and get some photos tomorrow. The video would be much appreciated. Definitely need to make it quieter as I leave for work at 530am a lot and am waking people up already!!! Woops. But it sounds so good.... and so much fun. Can't wait for some more interesting drives!!!

Well thanks to the help on here I have bought my first Scooby and couldn't be happier, higher mileage than I wanted but a full service history at Subaru garage. Few little tweaks but no modifications, hks dumpvalve, leather interior and exhaust system for which I am looking at getting a baffle insert as suggested. I imagine I will be spending a lot of time on here from now on.

Will a baffle insert make a lot of difference or just take the edge off?

Not too worried about the labour as I would just do it myself. From what I've read not too tricky just a bit time consuming. Prices don't seem too high and a few going cheap I have seen tonight already so could probably find a few more given time. Thanks for the replies. Will keep updated.

Drove my first one today and my god was it fun, and a very tidy example it seems to be, has 140,000 miles but a FSH at Subaru garage up to the last 2 services. Only downside was the noise, while it was a good noise there was a lot of it as someone has fitted a 4" tail pipe. The owner says this is only from the cat back, just wondering how easy this would be to change? Just want it a bit quieter as its an everyday car. Looking forward to driving a few more!!!

Thanks for the replies, I will just look in all the obvious places, will keep the post updated. Getting more excited the more research I do

Thanks for the info and quick reply, pretty familiar with rust from my mx5 fortunately I know a metal fabricator who does very cheap work. Are there any other common problems that show a little lack of love? Any gaskets that commonly leak? Going to go see my first one next week in Shipley I think. Very excited.]]

Hey all, Am looking at buying myself a 2000 turbo and wondering what to look out for, have read this guide http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/topic/1619-help-check-guide-buying-1st-subaru/ is there anything else to look out for? Am driving a mk1 mx5 at the moment so a bit of a change. Also are there many driving differences between a wagon and saloon? Have heard the wagon handles better because of the weight. Also if any one is looking to sell in the future I could be interested very easily. Thanks in advance for the help and looking forward to getting involved in some 4wd fun.
