Scooby1972

I just split and rewired mine on my bug eye took a bit of work with a test lamp to no which wire does what but got there in the end,from what I remember new lights needed a separate earth to work but plenty of places to use..

Turbo monkeys on ebay may have one....

5/40 is fine for all but the big power scoobys millers is great oil but always use a genuine black oil filter from scoobyparts or icp...as someone else mentioned the gauges might be set to alert to a problem at to low a pressure or temp which has been highlighted by hot weather not sure how you adjust those gauges maybe someone with them could help...have you now checked cooling fans are coming on without air con I, m sure if they weren't car would have seriously overheated in recent hot weather i think it's the gauges need that adjusting presumably you,ve not had any dash light warnings as well...☺

Wouldn't of thought fans would affect the oi,l coolant fans on these cycle every few minutes on a scooby when stationery especially in recent weather ,maybe oil grade is to thin or oil needs changing when was it last changed and do you no what grade was fitted,subaru recommend 5/30 grade oil but I was told by a well known subaru specialist it's to thin especially in hot weather ?

Hi if you want to send you're address will send you one through the post i have a few spares always happy to help a fellow scooby owner,I, m not sure of the rules of sending addresses out or how you do it if someone could let you no... Cheers Phil 👌

Had the same thing turned out to be a very small leak at bottom of radiator but after a drive engine heat would dry it up so you couldn't see it....spotted it by accident when I only drove a short distance then jacked car up and had a good look round when doing another job😂

Good to see another wagon owner welcomenice colour...

Just plug my dash cam into cigarette lighter purchased a twin outlet socket with 2 usb connections also dead cheap on ebay didn't fancy anything going directly to fuse box😊

Only way to be sure is take timing covers off and check all the alignment is right or get a reputable garage to check it for you no reason it should be wrong if he,s a good mechanic but one thing you don't want to be worrying about is the timing belt...😊

Glad it's not just me this happens to phew 😂I do what stants does from cold and a couple of dips ..

If Satan owned a car that would be it....mean as hell love it 😈

You can kill a clutch very quickly if the previous owner had held it on hills on the clutch or just not been very sympathetic on gear changes always telling my sister put the handbrake on when on a hill but never listens her clutch went again last week 😯

Thanks aucky just had a look at pics of yours she was a nice example,have you got rid of your hatch now because of headgasket keep thinking I would like a hatch as well but my guys I use who no subaru,s always say to me avoid the 2/5 engine,after reading up it seems either the headgasket go or they get Ringland failure due to a poor map subaru did😊

Nice looking car keep up the good work glad to see another bug eye owner😊I, m currently caught with what turbo to go for everybody keeps saying get a v series 320 bhp easily achieved but after doing a lot of reading i,m thinking a andy forrest hybrid td04 should see 290 to 300 bhp and you must remove up pipe cat and I, m going to fit a 200 cell sports cat and from what I, ve read should be a very usable everyday power plant with good low down boost cheers Phil. ..hope someone with more experience can tell me i, m not talking rubbish..😂

Woke up today to thick snow perfect time to try my winter wheels and tyres .....picked up some second hand alloys off ebay earlier this year cracked out the old air compressor and sprayed them a gun metal grey then to be a bit different added some metal flake to clearcoat gives a real sparkle in the light...A bit nicer ride on 17s will put the 18s back on for summer on some prada or similar tyres..never had snow since owning my Scooby cant believe how good it is I could go whatever speed I felt like especially with the winter tyres on just worried about all the other numptys sliding around into me cheers....

I don't think it will fit as the saloon is a bit wider due to flared arches😕

I,m no expert but it obviously built up some compression when you turned it and then vented through spark plug area,if spark plugs had been removed at the time compression wouldn't build up shouldn't have caused a problem...hopefully a more knowledgeable member will help out...

Very arty pics those look good😀 do you ever get pulled over for number plate?

Gorgeous looking scooby love the mirrors 😃

Hi Darren glad you like what I have done...when I was looking at getting a scooby I looked at newer ones hawkeyes hatchbacks and but after driving the bug eye it just felt more like I thought a scooby would, my opinion is make the one you,ve got unique to you and you will get more pleasure than a newer one that needs nothing doing..and bug eyes are going up in value all older scoobys are as eventually there won't be many left as at the min people are breaking nice cars as they can make more money ..yours looks a great car keep hold of her!regarding the bonnet scoop it just unbolts of the bonnet and has a under tray I got a sti replica of ebay £60 fits great did need a bit of preparation before painting ie high build primer for a nice flat finish but let's more air in and looks mean as hell when sat in the drivers seat.I derailed my roof had to get roof trims from Japan as there wagons don't have rails cost £180 for two bits of plastic but looks so much sportier..your idea of filling over would look good as well you could then wrap the roof or paint it a offset colour ,I wanted a roof scoop but other half talked me out of it but they look cool obviously you do need to cut a hole in the roof which also put me of a bit but hey no pain no gain😀First job I would advise is unless you no its been done get the cambelt done not worth risking then some good 5/40 fully synthetic oil and a black genuine subaru oil filter of flea bay then you can relax and plan your other mods !any time I can help if I can let me no and there are a lot more knowledgeable people than me on here as well so you never get stuck cheers Phil😁

Glad it's another wagon 😊I put a album of photos of want it have done to mine so far in the gallery section only did it on Monday under scooby1972 if you want a look your opinion would be much appreciated cheers Phil 😊

You might be able to get the snapped key out with some very fine drill bits from the pound shop,put one or two down barrel then rotate anti clockwise they should grab on to key and draw it out that's how locksmiths do it,,worked for me once with a bit of trial and error😀

Welcome to the club I, ve had my bug eye wrx sportswagon nearly 3 years after always wanting a scooby and like you say it's not just the car but everything that goes with it,makes you feel special every time you get in it?am I right is that another sportswagon you're in 😊

That is gorgeous 😈very jealous. ..

Thanks Gambit glad you like it so far😊
