No problem mate. And be great if you can keep us updated. Like you have said may be of help later on, and I might learn something new :D

Signed. And I'm sure they must have known there was a race track near by before buying a house there

I would say a possible Immobiliser fault too. But could be wrong type of plugs. Or HT leads not been placed on the right plugs. My friend bought a car that was meant to be a non starter. turned out It was just the leads had been put on the wrong plugs :D I would check your battery has enough life in it. As I have seen a new battery need to be charged before for some reason didn't have enough juice in it when it was bought from the shop. But you would hear it struggle to turn the car over :( Tough one this mate

Could look at it as an early welcome back for when he gets his next Subaru ^_^

I believe so too. I didn't see the welcome, until after I posted. Got a Chuckle out of me anyway :D

Or was you on about this post :D Hahaha

Nope. He's only a young lad. Said he know people will try race him and it wont have the go in it to keep up. But to be fair I think he would kill himself in a Turbo Subaru :D

My doors do auto lock when you start it as long as there shut :) Might be on to something here. ;)

I would change the breaks for sure with the power. And I agree it does sound very well looked after, Can't do anything about chips and age marks other then not drive it :D never going to happen with me anyway ;) I had someone key scratch one of my old cars. God it makes me mad that The same car also got a door slammed into the front N/s wing in a car park, but I pushed that out the best I could. I got a quote for the key scratches where I live they wanted £1175 Then a friend crashed it on a test drive so solved me worrying about the key scratches then :D

Wouldn't it. Fit a Cam to record at the same time with a mic just for giggles I would be wanting someone to pinch it :D

Was thinking of getting rid of Kitt and putting this as an Anti theft device as the computer would boot up as soon as the engine is started :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SH8wDkqA_50

Dam.. lest get some good replacement leads help with the spark and last longer all being well :) Please feel free to share some pictures if you would like. I like pictures... More so if there in colour :)

I have to say 14k is a snatch! One in Scotland was 16K+ I was looking at... Just need to find a buyer for my kids... Shame Jimmy saville isn't alive could try the BBC..... Ohhhh!. It's a joke before I get any hate mail :D

Is it a bird?... Is it a plane?... No it's an Audi driver http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/4857691/Driver-seriously-ill-after-Audi-becomes-embedded-in-house.html And the Irony that he hits a BMW before the house :D

Haha you sound just like me I know exactly what you mean. I wanted it yesterday lol Yeah along way for me too about 5 hours drive Cornwell for me I think. But I would have gone to Scotland and bought one if it had been a little more in my budget :D Things we do for our cars ;)

:( blow What was you doing to snap them ? changing the spark plugs or something

I know of a very nice RB320 for sale in Cornwell. Not sure what Simon wants for it though :D

Np mate. I know where I live I have had to travel to buy them longest I have driven so far was 2 half hour's. that's one way to pick a good one up :D So might have to up them miles in the distance your looking And feel free to share some picture's of your car now mate

Oh ok ;) I have seen people buy the wrong leads when they was after Coil packs that's all :) Good place they did the full engine rebuild on my motor :)

Hey Doris I believe it's behind the glove box. You have to remove it all to get to the filter. Not the most easy of places to have to change it. And please feel free to share some pictures. I'm a big fan of pictures. :D

I would start with Ebay Gumtree Auto trader Preloved 1st. I'm not sure if there is any Subaru 2nd hand specialists there, so I can't really advice anymore then that :)

1) Check the Head Gasket for leaks... a) Look for oil seeping or dripping from the engine. Is it anywhere near where the heads meet the block? B) Open the radiator fill and look for grossness on the cap that may be a result of oil in the coolant. c) Check the oil... if the dipstick is charred, oil is blacker than black and lumpy, or there is non oil gunk (sometimes red/orange or white) attached to it then those are bad signs. d) When you test drive it make sure the temp gauge stays steady. If the compressed gas from the cylinder is being pushed into the coolant you will get random temp fluctiations and lots of bubbling in the overflow tank. 2) Losing/Burning Oil When you start the car have someone watching the tail pipe. You dont want to see too much dark smoke or really blue smoke come out and if it does it should be only a small ammount before resuming normal exuast color. Look for oil leaks again after road testing it. Sometimes the dealer will powerwash the car so all the leaks are invisible until after you drive it. Refer back to the dipstick... charred is bad. 3) Clutch Try to start the car from a stop on flat ground in 3rd gear. if you can get it to move then there is a good chance the clutch is bad. 4) Alignment and brakes Look for uneven wear on the tires and the brake rotors. Funny grooves in the surface of either is a bad sign. When test drive give the brakes a good test to make sure they either lock up or ABS kicks in. If you can stand on them and not have either result then they need to be replaced. Also take note of vibrations and whether the car pulls to one side when trying to stop. Find a long stright strech of road and let go of the wheel. Does the car continue straight? Is the wheel exactly straight? You may need an alignment. 5) Body Rust = bad. Dont forget to check in the door frames and around the sun roof where the glass mates up. Check everything you can see. If you find ANY rust it will only get worse from there. Look for discoloured body panels, look for paint in areas where the car didn't come with paint. Make sure the body panels are equally distant from one another and compare both sides of the car. The factory will not mess this up because it is done by a machine, but body mechanics don't always line the panels up right. If the car was in an accident it is best to know about it before paying. Always check the back of the rear wheel wells right above where the bumper attaches. This spot is a notorious rust collector and usually one of the first places to go. a definite indicator for rust appearing in the rest of the car. 6) Engine Listen to the idle, spastic idle is bad. If it is cold out the engine will idle fairly high. Let the car warm up and let the idle drop. If the idle doesn't drop or drops so far the car stalls you may have a problem. If it is warm out the idle should be smooth and level. Make sure the fans go on. Some people like to take it to a mechanic for compression testing. It couldn't hurt. If there is a CEL make sure to pull it before handing over the cash. Some are worse than others, find out what it is. If you have your own code puller check to see if the codes have been cleared lately. It takes a couple of cycles for codes to pop after being reset. Don't let them fool you into thinking there is no code. 7) History Get a car fax report. This will tell you all of the service records since it was bought if they were done by a dealer. Check the mileage on the car to see if it matches up with the mileage on the MOT. Easy to swap a new console in and knock a ton of miles off the car. Look for times in the MOT where it looks like the car wasn't driven. That could be a sign that it spent time in a shop or in a junkyard somewhere. Look out for a car that has been handed over often. There may be something wrong that makes people not want to hold onto it. Look out for a car that has been recently bought by the current owner. They may be trying for a quick turn-around in order to make a buck. That means you are probably overpaying.

If you can get the Morette lights would do that. But like you say the Black Angels would be my 2nd choice. Would make it look smart

I think it looks a good job I can't see any colour change from the new spray to the back door. well not from the photos .

Its the way to do it before they start taxing it anyway :)
