no prob mate,easy to check just look in the expansion bottle or even your header tank if its cold,if the coolant is blue then its right,if its a pink colour then its the silicate stuff which rots your engine.

i use this in mine http://www.halfords.com/motoring-travel/engine-oils-fluids/antifreeze/halfords-oat-ready-mixed-antifreeze-2-litres then if you do need to top up with a bit of water its ok.As stants said dont use antifreeze with silicates in it,bad for your engine.

2008 wrx
Hi coll welcome to the club.I have a 2007 wrx hatch, my personal opinion is if you dont drive hard then you made the right choice goin for a wrx rather then a sti, yeah you get a couple more toys and leather n alcatara seats in sti but basicly their same seats as in wrx, more bhp in sti but you dont drive fast so dont need that.you get 36mpg am jelouse mine stops at about 25.5, had it down at 18 yesterday.petrol I allways use shell v power rather pay bit more then damage car with cheap crap.I wouldnt worry 2 much about head gasket going if you dont drive hard, has car got good service history, carnt really help on the exhaust as am looking for a nice not 2 loud 1 myself, so if you get 1 then let me no and vidio for sound, if you see me give me a wave am usually round cortonwood, mexbrough way.

Rota grid drift wheel nuts. Which??
yeah mate,I will say though dont use a air gun to tighten them up,i use a tourge wrench and tighten to 80lb,dont let garage airgun them on as they have their guns set on full so can use them on everything and allways over tighten wheel nuts.I like these lug nuts as they dont stick out very far and they are thinner then standed scooby nut which dont fit lots of aftermarket rims,i got these to fit my bk racing eclipse wheels which have small holes.

i have the same nut but in silver as they was the only colour i could find matching lock nuts in.

UK Law on Modified exhausts
all my neighbours told me they sold their alarm clock when i got my first scooby lol .when i passed test in 80's and was a boy racer(still am a heart really :D )people said you could get done for exhaust being 2 loud then,but as said popo dont bother unless your being a dic and p them off then they could get funny,mostly traffic cops that can be funny about it.once had a traffic cop tell me he would inpound my fiesta rs turbo and take it apart nut by nut to find stuff wrong becouse i was being a young smart ao,so best to be nice and polite and they sould be ok with you.

Anyone put an oil temp sensor in the sump ?
their was a sandwich plate on my blobeye and that never leaked,i personally didn't fit it,can tell you it had four conections you can add more stuff if needed like a oil cooler,just make sure you put some ptf tape on the thread of what you connect and sould be fine.their about £10 of ebay,am going to get 1 for my hatch when i fit gauges to it.

2007 hatchback wrx
I went to look at a hawkeye wrx which was about a grand more then this and was in a right sorry state so i got this instead,the hatch feels like a more expensive car when your in it.also when i swapt my insurance from my bug wagon the insurance for the hatch was £40 cheaper [emoji2] Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk

2007 hatchback wrx
thanks i will check it out when i get to work today,will probly just go with a boost gauge as not really anywere to put 3 that will look right.all the shops say 2008 wrx none say a 2007 so i am guessing that 2008 wrx stuff will fit my car?

Waterless cleaners
I only clean my car about every 3 week,dont have time to do it weekly and i only ever use waterless wash n microfibre clothes,do's not scratch the paint at all as its a wax as well so once you use it a few time it protects the paint.i use good old fashion soapy water on the wheels though.

Expensive Ride home On A Relay Truck !
was that the AA,robbing b****ds them,i use to be with them with their top package,i had a corsa si at time and head gasket went on m1 near chesterfield,pulled in services took them a hour to come,great said couldnt tow me he didnt have the stuff so called tow truck and went,3 hours later it turned up,drive then told me i was lucky as over 30 mile and they charge you per mile to trailer you home.i said what even with the top package drive said yeah any package and if you had to upgrade you have to do it before they will tow,so if you got no cc with you you basicly screwed,modern day highway men them.
