ah man that sucks, hate wankers like that! I'd get a camera on the front of your house "overwatching" the car(s) You can bet it wont happen again. Pretty solid defense against burglars too

The garage is called PATS, in horden,Peterlee. Generally they are pretty good, priced well and don't rip people off. Although they seem to know very little about scoobs.

sorry, not meaning to hyjack the thread, but what is gearbox whine?

I have to admit, I love having a scooby. And the fact that all other scoob drivers give you a friendly wave really shows how pleasant and friendly they all are.

Clarkson for PM? You can't be serious? You know hes bessy mates with Call me Dave?

hahaha welcome to the forums :)

I stopped watching top gear a while back, I really cant stand Clarkson.

thanks for the advice chaps. Pain in the backside, I certainly wont be going back there.

thats a nice car mate! good luck

I've had a hobby day. :) washed, polished and waxed the car, rainx'd the windows, scrubbed my alloys, changed the headlights to some decent bulbs, gave the inside a bit of a clean and then cleaned up all the mess i made along the way :)

Oh that seems to make sense. Well I called them up earlier in the week and explained the issue, one of the decent mechanics told me to to pop in today. i spoke to some other guy (who was a bit of a knob) he wants me to take it back next Saturday. So, they may have removed/loosened the track rod ends and the wheel wasn't straight when they connected the rod ends back up?

hi thanks for the reply, sorry, i dont think i explained the problem very well. The car isn't pulling the left, its just that the steering wheel isn't straight and is leaning to the left when driving.

hey guys, So today I took my car back to the garage that serviced the car (last Friday). They to lift the engine up to change the plugs, however for some reason my steering wheel is now leaning to the left a little when driving straight. I've had the tracking checked (which was fine) and all four wheel rebalanced. But still the steering wheel is to the left a few notches? edit - but the car isnt pulling to the left, it will drive straight, just the wheel is of centre. I called the garage up the other day, he said to pop it in on Friday, went today, spoke to a different guy, who just moaned and said to come back next saturday. He was whinging about the engine being a VVT and how awkward it is or something? So, firstly, whats a VVT engine? and secondly, does anyone have any idea of what the mechanics could have done thats led to the steering wheel leaning to the left? Someone said that when they have lifted the engine up, they aint put the steering wheel straight when they have sat it back down again? Any ideas chaps? thanks in advance Oh and yes, A different garage next time. lol

hahah thats pretty epic!

I'd love to pop down, although, I'd struggle to come Mon-thurs as I'd need to drive down and back up north again and still be in a reasonable state for work 8am the next day. I think it would take me 2-3hours at a guess. I may have to skip the march meet and go for the one after that. :(

I've totally derailed this thread, but sod it. I quite like the look of this. http://www.mufflebox.com/collections/subaru/products/side-racing-stripes-9 Once i get my spoiler on, along with some rear window tints, I think it will give it that sporty look :)

ooohhh ta very much, are they decent quality?

you guys should make SOC hoodies. I'd totally get one :)

hahaha lol, talk about an impulse buy!

ah man, that looks the balls!

so Boots, how do you find the EBC discs and pads? A big improvement over the OEM discs?

hey, nice car dude, nice n shiny

Dayz? ah man, its pretty awesome. Have a watch of this guy, He's pretty awesome.

I cleaned my alloys with some Auto Finesse Contaminate Remover (Iron X) Pretty good stuff! All the muck goes all pink and with a bit of scrubbing just rinses off.

ah, i was wondering who Ezio was... hahah I used to play the dayz mod alot. A bit too much, kinda tempted by the standalone, although, i know it will take over my life again :(
