I left the Subaru today and went on the bike, then came off the bike at great speed leaving my right side scraped to chuff, and the day I didn't where my gloves! Typical Ps it was the push bike not the trumpet

Warning about PPE when working on cars!
Probably common sense to most but to the cowboys like me that chance it I spent this morning in A&E after some grit/rust/metal was flung into my eye during grinding. Extremely painful, uncomfortable and a morning of work missed could have been worse but a week of no contact lenses is like hell to me haha. Lesson learnt got myself some decent specs for this type of **** in the future. Cheers

What the jeff have I started?!!
They come in sets per side 4 are literally intact and taken from opposite sides as clearly there is a weak point for corrosion, The 2 that were stuck fast were in the mirror position of each other, If you follow. It's only £20 for a seal set as well so saving a fair bit of dosh as other things need buying this month

What the jeff have I started?!!
Managed to salvage 4 pistons, the other 4 were either damaged by me removing them or were already pitted and knackered before I started.

What have you done to your Subaru today ?
Trimmed turbo heat shield so it fits again around my down pipe, adjusted headlights (long overdue), swapped the clocks bulbs to leds hoping to make them brighter and only succeeded in changing the colour to a turquoisey blue. And started refurbing the cylinders in my brakes. Busy night last night

Looking at the parts it seems the calipers are the culprits not the pistons. Hmm

What the jeff have I started?!!
Thought you'd got rid of me! Well I got rid of the Astra instead so now only have the Subaru and a gorgeous new triumph to drain the wallet. Its now easier to focus on my baby. finally decided to do my calipers from *cough february cough* Luckily I bought a spare set cheap and think they maybe on the way as well so want another set to swap straight on. My question to yous guys is how the fudge do I remove the seized pistons notice they are on the "same" side Any idea on the best place to get seals as well as maybe a couple of pistons as the majority are reusable. TIA & sos if this is wrong spot gambit, feel like a newbie again

Mpg
In fairness mine does an easy 30mpg with the sort of driving I do, mostly A roads. If it only ever saw town driving I imagine it would be a hell of a lot lower

Car insurance joys and questions

Tyre looks flat...but isn't!?
I just replaced mine for a cheapo budget after a screw as they said the tyre on it was discontinued, will this be fine till I can get hold of a replacement on the bay or wherever?
-
wear is common because drivers do not adjust their driving technique to the requirements of a four wheel drive car.
Guessing as there's more rotational mass after the clutch you should just be more sympathetic with it. I imagine they are built to cope though otherwise the internet would be awash with people complaining how weak impreza clutched are

Not so Prodrive :(
Unless you get a model that was supposed to come with ppp but you didn't know this till after buying it :(

Silly bints like that shouldn't be driving. She's probably thinking theres some invisible damage that only a garage can sort out. Grr you wouldn't need insurance if only car enthusiasts were on the road. #ClarksonforPM rant over. Good luck getting it sorted hopefully if it goes through then it will be down as both at fault and she gets stung all the same. I hate insurance.
