Evening all once again 👋 so having had new rubber and 4 wheel alignment done today, it was discovered that the seam on my fuel tank may be causing a minor leak. Now while my mechanic is confident in welding it, he advised me to still look for a new tank 🤦‍♂️ if you guys could help me on where to look it would be greatly appreciated. It's a bugeye saloon, and I have until the first week of April. ✌

Hello Again, So after replacing the radiator, everything seemed fine. However the engine light has been back on and my dad's diagnostic (Delphi R3) has come up with code P0031. I found this on the interweb https://www.engine-codes.com/p0031_subaru.html but just wondered if anyone else has had this problem and can advise please. Regards Fred

Evening all, Forgive me for still being new and no doubt asking a question that's been asked 572638262828638 times, but I'm curious as to where people have bought body kits from, and if they have any recommendations? Peace ✌ Fred

Thanks for the welcome :) Well the oil cap isn't creamy so I guess that's a good sign. Plus I've not known the radiator fans to spin... I keep cleaning it up and even though I'm not gunning it everywhere, the same amount keeps getting sprayed in the same place. Also I topped up the coolant last night and this morning it had dropped a bit, but rose above the line when i got to work 8 miles away. This evening when I got back it had almost dropped to the bottom again 🙈 I'll ask the mechanic I saw on friday if he did one the other day, or to do one tomorrow. I've seen others suggest Mishimoto radiators but they are a bit steep for my liking 🙈 I have asked Japspeed on eBay if their STi one will fit. Suggestions welcome 👍

Hello All, So I finally fulfilled my dream of being an Impreza Owner on 3/2/22. Saw a 51 plate WRX on Autotrader with 68k miles and FSH for just shy of 8k. Went to have a drive and everything felt fine, until the owner popped the bonnet and noticed some spraying on the alternator cover... As tempting as it was to walk away, my mad head took over and just went sod it. Plus I'd come a long way and already had my last car ('15 Polo GTI) booked in to webuyanycar. The guy seemed very surprised at the discovery although his argument was it hadn't been driven since November. And after having one of my mechanic friends whose owned 3 Scoobs in the past, he advised to not go over 7300. So I went in with 7k and the deal was done. I took it to said mechanic the day after and he said the top pipe clip was loose, and the cambelt hadn't been done since 2015 at 55k. Following an argument with my dad (knowing he'd disapprove anyway) I then took it to the nearby garage that's also a Subaru dealer. One of the guys there said the coolant/spraying could be from a metal feed pipe under the radiator (or around that area) and they'll do a full underside inspection on 11th Feb. So today rolls round and after a few pulls, I went to check under the bonnet again, and low and behold it looked like this (and smoking a bit 😳)... it's a good job I got some coolant from a spare parts place round the corner from I apologise for rambling on, but I guess my question is have I just completely ruined my life and everything I've dreamt of in the space of 3 days? 🙈
