Turns out one of the bearing seals wasn't sitting right, so an easy enough fix for them... the mechanic did unfortunately drop a socket and chipped my wheel. Thankfully there are defects in the paint from the original refurb, so they are all getting done again for free anyway... Said I would be happy with knocking 60 quid off my bill! You can see next to the chip the defects I'm talking about...
-
Wonder if they've bent something slightly while taking it apart? Not sure... not costing me any extra so as long as it's fixed today I'll be happy!
-
Well, got a call at 4:45 to say that my car was almost ready, they were just putting it all back together after pressing in the new bearing. Then got another call at 5:20 saying that for some reason the wheel is locked and won't turn! They are going to have to take it apart again and see what's going on... they reckon it's a defective bearing, or he's put it back together wrong (but I doubt they would admit to that!) They did put my car in their usual social media images tho :D
-
wait... forgot, use 5.1. 5 and 4 can't be mixed... so any leftover fluid in your lines will mix, don't think that would be the best idea
-
Cheaper now it seems... http://www.scoobyparts.com/hel-uprated-brake-hose-kit-new-age-impreza

HEL :D but not had any issues with them, had them for over a year now
-
You may as well go balls deep... no benefit with staying with dot4
-
Can't remember what my garage used... think it was dot5, difficult to tell if i could notice the difference as all my brake stuff was done at once, i would imagine the braided lines were what made the biggest difference
-
I've got the exact same discs... got them off ebay, came with brembo pads. Really good... I would recommend uprated brake lines if you haven't done them already

Dozy bint... if she pulled out it's her fault! Get yourself a dashcam mate!
-
Yeh it seems to be modifications that bump up the prices...
-
Nobody told me that Scotland isn't mainland UK anymore!
-
Booked in for an oil change and to get my wheel bearing replaced... Can't wait to get rid of the whining noise! (not my wife unfortunately....)
-
I'm not aware of anywhere in the UK that sells E85 yet...
-
Mine went up a whopping 40 quid... didn't really have time to shop around so just let it roll over... still pretty decent at £444 with the flux
-
Gold and black is a good combo IMO :D
-
Insured for another year of fun :D
-
Yeh they would be pretty much the same... but given the price, would wonder who actually manufactures it!
-
Maybe worth getting in touch with them, I'm sure they can give you a replacement
-
Yup coz that's exactly what I've got!
-
That was a while ago... issue seems to have mostly gone away, I fitted my walbro almost a year ago and have had zero isses edit: Yeh it seems there were a lot of fakes kicking about, I bought mine from here http://www.scoobyparts.com/walbro-uprated-fuel-pump-itp154

This is what I opted for: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Impreza-WRX-2000-2007-2-0-2-5-MTEC-Black-Brake-Discs-Front-Rear-And-Brembo-Pads-/291178288402?fits=Model%3AImpreza&hash=item43cb941512:g:fa4AAOSwGiRTrXl4 Haven't crashed yet so doing all right :D
-
I would imagine so but not 100% sure
-
What's wrong with that? -
Yup, 75 quid plus delivery... I would personally opt for a new one http://scoobyworld.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=47_180&products_id=1292
