Wotcha and welcome - do you have any photos you would care to share?

That dipstick might be worth looking into... will have a browse tomorrow

no problem - keep us posted ;)

yup echo advice from Mr.B there - that plus good pen oil and a blow torch, try the one then progress to next on the list, prime example exhaust studs on older bikes :D

Wotcha and welcome... Nitemare - easily done - couple on ebay at the moment - not genuine but could get you through until something more appropriate came along http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Impreza-Facelift-Bonnet-RB5-Colour-/390762279380?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item5afb3f31d4 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Subaru-impreza-Facelift-P1-V5-V6-Alloy-Bonnet-74F-aluminum-Sti-Wrx-Rb5-/141194689436?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item20dfdbfb9c

oooooh just think of them grinding their dirty corroded surfaces into all that pristine Italian exotica :P

Maybe these will help got these from a bit of research so if they are the wrong model etc would someone advise buuuut it will give you an idea of were and what to look for Where it is How you get the fluid in Front Diff dipstick is item 2 Gearbox dipstick is item 2

was considering them for mine but didn't get around to it looked at these as well but wasn't sure about them all being logo'd http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SUBARU-IMPREZA-GENUINE-STI-McGARD-LIGHT-WEIGHT-WHEELS-NUTS-1993-2007-/161219508686?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item25896e79ce

The same wheels that are on Gambits ride have come up on ebay over last couple of years as sets of four just needing refurb / repair but have gone for little money (comparatively) so it might be worth being a little patient and saving money in the long run

unfortunately you do pay to learn and its great that you have shared your findings with us :)

I have been forced to do it in the new Scooby otherwise it wasn't something I had done previously

That is the stuff I currently use should be enough there

I dont want to be the damp squib here but I would only buy them for the track or offroad use. Magnesium alloy whilst being very light and strong does have a shelf life of x amount of hours - they are not designed for longevity and a lot of race teams return them for recycling to ensure they do not end up on the public highway. I dont know where you would stand if one failed on the road and you trashed your car. I would go with Petes recommendation they only have one spoke less and will last a lot longer, particularly on British roads or try and source some older ones like Gambit has that may need a refurb

They are OZ ones you can see the labelling in this photo

useful to know - a couple of people have come on looking for reputable garages in Surrey Bucks area

Hope it all gets sorted - it is disappointing for such a low mileage car

Awesome thread - some great mods done and nice feedback about how each one performed - and those track shots show what must have been a cracking day - Cadwell is hoot

nice one, thanks

Wotcha and welcome - car sounds like a great example - do you have any photos to go with it? Are you looking to get another scooby once you have sold this one?

got you - so it cant be driven away then - well we do have a few sport drivers on here so you may get some requests

I dont see why not - it would be great to have you on board ;)

not hear of xado, but I would try the molyslip first as you have already recently changed the oil
