Hiya, nope never been I'm in West Sussex so south east - if they make decent parts I can make any trip within reason. As I said this is last port of call in case used parts gets me nowhere. Hopefully someone knows someone in the next few weeks

any clue on quality here? Still going to wait some weeks for a second hand part but if all fails I need some options and this is £60 cheaper than scoobyworld
Thanks this is my first scoob and I'm learning so much from it. As you said the only time coolant became visible (steam) was over 3K rpm. I think it was a good time to flush the system anyway.
Took a fair while to bleed though :D
Thanks xander I will look into that - if anyone knows of custom shop in West Sussex area / South east they can recommend I would be interested in contact details - ta
thanks gambit - I havent I will happily dm though and find out. Always wanted to go decat but never been brave enough to give it a go. Good mate of mine (mechanic) offered to do the job with me so can't wait to source one
You sold for a great price too - somehow I can't imagine I will be so lucky.
I am heading to Kent area tomorrow so if anyone has what I'm after round that way for a reasonable price let me know and I can arrange pickup :)
Quick update in case anyone else suffers similar issues
found a barely visible hairline crack on the plastic at the top of the rad, got a replacement from euro car parts and very impressed, fit perfectly and seems to be doing the job nicely
Why would you tell me that haha now I feel like a mug for looking at £300 h&s ones
i see japspeed sell one for £130 but I've heard horror stories when it comes to fitting?
Decided it's time to go decat - anyone got a newage decat dp for sale to mate with 2.5" resonated pipe (afterburner)
Failing this can anyone recommend a retailer for these at a good price?
thanks guys - always get good advice on this forum

It's actually spread across the top of the rad so I can't pin point.
The plastic expansion tank (I assume this is the one behind the rad and not the tank further back with a proper rad cap on) has a slow but steady stream of small bubbles coming through and I think over the last 2 days it has lost a small amount of coolant.
I can't see any cracks but am aware this is a common fault on the rads. Have bought a new one and fitting Wednesday so I'm hoping that's the solution.
I take it you don't think it is something more sinister than that?
Have an overheating problem...
suspected rad failure as can see slight coolant build up on top of the rad, think I may need a new one...
Any recommendations? Could do with a new one asap and not looking for anything special just one that does the job...standard 2002 wrx bug so nothing major to cool just standard components all in the usual places.
Any help much needed here do not need this right now.

I have seen that Euro Car Parts do one for £60-£70 next day delivery...anyone know if these are any good?
Thanks
Yeah they seem really nice - Just a little far for me to travel...the part I want will be super easy to fabricate I am suprised more retailers don't make them for show use
Just got a reply from Cobra who no longer make these in batch and only custom make if you go to their shop in Sheffield - out of my radius but for anyone else who was looking at getting one of these if you want to make the journey they will make it for you there.
looking for a baffless backbox for shows only

2.5" fitment
I know that there are a few versions of the TeamICE and Cobra racetube are some examples...checking out used parts before heading to a custom manufacturer which are bound to be cheaper than scoobyworlds £200 price tag
Thanks but I already have the de-resonated centre section and backbox sorted, for the moment I am just looking for the 2nd CAT delete
Forgot to mention on previous post this will be for new age bug
Looking to replace the cat before the resonated centre section to a decat.
Will be looking to get this from scoobyworld but wanted to check if anyone had one on here I could grab second hand before I get one.
Only want to delete 1 cat for the moment, I believe this is a pretty straightforward swap.
Cheers
