A novice question?!
The interior and steering wheel are usually different. Double din stereo may be a clue. Can also cross reference the chassis code.

Still got a few say they're going but no commitments. If there's some left I'm sure I can fill a few.

Not a bad number that. What boost was that set at?

Kent SOC Monthly meet Saturday 5th September 7pm
Here we go for September! Summer was brief and the weather has closed in over recent weeks. Don't let that out you off. http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/index.php?app=core&module=attach§ion=attach&attach_id=4558 The pub hosts a full bar and restaurant that serves hot and cold food with a good reputation for a nice dinner. Plenty of seating so feel free to bring along the family. There is a children's play area just outside too. Along with the rules the pub has given us I'd like to add a couple more. 1. Keep the car park tidy 2. Use the pubs facilities 3. No loud revving of engines inside the car park 4. No idiotic behaviour I'm sure we all know the basics and I'm sure we will adhere to them. Remember we want to keep this meet going for a long time. This month's meet is going to be held at 7:00pm. There are two convoys with one running from Medway tunnel and the other travelling from McDonald's in plumstead. The Wharf Cotton Lake Galleon Blvd Dartford Kent DA2 6QE

Help needed re Major Engine Repair
Agree with Marty. The 2.5 are getting a reputation for letting go a little easy. While the engine is open you may as well replace the bearings too. I'd hate to hear you spend a bunch of cash on the HG only a few thousand miles the damage from overheating becomes apparant with a lot of knocking.

Strange boosting issue
I know the fuel cut well. I've had it a few times the same way you described. But this wasn't a cut issue. I had rev but only low boost. The fuel cut is quite aggressive and bam there it is. This issue was just the car running normally at reduced boost. I haven't cleaned the solenoid myself so I may flush it over the weekend. I do the same at 1/4 tank or less. It catches me out coming off roundabouts sometimes. I thought it was a boost issue until Duncan explained the problem being a poorly designed tank.

Strange boosting issue
Conditions were the same as previous runs so that should effect it. Could be a wastegate issue/actuator as that would be inconsistently showing as a fault. Good shout Marty

Was it to prevent the guy using the filter lane?

Strange boosting issue
So..bit of a strange one. After exiting a roundabout in 2nd and applying the loud peddle I only got 0.7-8 bar boost. I'm set to 1.3. Into 3rd and had full boost. Went up the road to have a testing session. Tried again and 2nd gave me full boost. Pulled up at a set of lights. Didn't go full launch but once in to the gear I gave it some again in 1st and only got 1.0-1bar. Into 2nd and had full boost again no further issues. Got home and had a listen/check. Couldn't hear any air leaks or dodgy isles. No cel on during the issue period. So, brains ready. Let's have a pick. What do you reckon?

newbie needing help
I'm in the same boat right now. If the bearing has been bad for a while it may have scored the hub too. I'm buying the whole hub with bearing for £50 and fitting it myself as its all nuts and bolts. I'm replacing the hub and sending mine away to pressed and check before fitting a new bearing in it. But this way the car is still on the road and not making a racket. If the garage remove the old bearing and find the hub fubard you will be up **** creek trying to decide what to do about a new hub.
