Classic Maf Sensor removal
These are known as security screws. You need buy some security torx bits or keys. Halfords do them. I expect Screwfix and EuroCarParts do too. Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk

Hi. I've had a look on the Subaru UK website and can't see anything about it. Do you have a more detailed address? Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk

MTEC brakes
I wouldn't again. I fitted the dimpled & grooved ones to my WRX. Lasted 6 months before the warped. I've replaced them with Brembo from EuroCarParts. They've only been on a couple of months but so far so good. Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk

Mechanic Joyride - Advice
I'd say it depends what you expect to come from it. Obviously the police would be interested in it. I doubt the garage would be though. Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk

Self Spraying Alloys
I have done this successfully myself buy just masking the tyre but it is a lot of time and effort. I think powdercoating is a better route. Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk

Knackered wheel bearing
Do them in pairs anyway. If ones gone, the other side won't be far behind. I did both my fronts last year with a fried who has an hydraulic press. Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk

Brake squeal
The first things to do would be clean the pads and disc with brake cleaner and grease the back of the pads with copper grease. Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk

2005 WRX - What is this leak? Water pump?
It's a bit strange the coolant level in the expansion tank doesn't go down. Whether it is loosing coolant internally or externally, when it cools down, it should sick coolant back from the expansion tank. Could it be that you've had a air lock since having the new rad? I'd stick some K-Seal in it. Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk

Abnormal Tyre Wear
Well I had it laser tracked yesterday. Apparently nothing wrong with the rear. Adjusted the front tracking a bit. When I put new tyres on the rear, I'll keep a close eye on it. The gap between tyre and wheel arch looks OK. Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk

What brake fluid do you guys recommend?
Pagid 5.1 from EuroCarParts. It's better spec than Dot 3 but still mixes. So no need to flush first. Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk

It looks like your sump gasket is leaking a bit. You'll probably get away with tightening the bolts. Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk

Hi Stants. I check pressures every 2 weeks and set them to 2.2 Bar at the back. Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk

Abnormal Tyre Wear
Any idea what the tyre to wheel arch gap should be? I've had a look at the trailing arms. I can twist them but can't move them in any other direction. Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk
