    was it stood for a while? could be dodgy fuel? MAF sensor could be an issue as well. Starter for 10 might also want to do an ecu reset to restor it to default.

    Have you tried putting the origional stereo back in? see if its the new one thats the issue?
  3. Tidgy
    I would doubt its oil as you wouldnt get a drop in power unless the engine blows itself up, i would lean more towards fuel starvation caused by the cornering. I would try it wth a totaly full tank vs a low tank and see what you get, may need to baffle the tank.

    In all truth you would be betgter selling it and just buying an STI, easier and cheaper in the long run plus you will never get the money back on the wrx.

    Best bet give them a call, small demand so not worth putting on the site

    nope, subaru uk have always been anti imports and pretty much anti enthusiast in truth im afraid. that said, i'd be surprised if it can't, they dont usual put in different equipment connections etc in between jdm and uk so should be a swap job
  7. Tidgy
    have you tried importcarparts?
  8. Tidgy
    You wont hear back from the dealer or subaru UK, subaru UK dont care and the dealers are pretty much in wind down mode (may be some decent oens still out there mind you), will the importer not convert it for you? it is possible from what i can tell, https://www.torque-gt.co.uk/subaru-levorg-sti-100524.html not used them myself but they may offer a conversion service? or maybe supply one ready to go.

    Has it chewed one of the driveshafts? they are splined and the teeth can break off, or possibly the retaining clip on the driveshaft may have failed so the driveshaft isnt seated properly?

    welcome 😄

    Had flex z on mine for a fair few years now and never found them to be a problem harshness wise, have to confess im not sure what spring rates are fitted to mine.

    Welcome. If its going off as soon as its locked i would guess one of the sensors is duff and triggering it.
  13. Tidgy
    Could go aftermarket, https://www.exedy.co.uk/products/mt-standard/clutch-kit as an example

    Given the code is for the injectors may well be that one of them is either blocked or nackered. might be worth chaning the fuel filter as its not a mega cost.

    welcome, 2? thats greedy,,,,, hahaha

    I would guess that if hte batgtery has gone then the bill is a gonna be alot, aka thousands as it will need a new battery pack. EV's will all need new batterys at some point, but 4 years is pretty short. Good news is if you've only had it for 14 days then your covered legally, see what the garage wants to do, either replace the battery pack or give you your money back.

    If there is 'extensive rust' it will be alot more than just the subframe, archers and sills are common rust sposts. It's not a cheap repair im afraid and untill its looked at and stripped down its unlikly it will be known how bad it is (Subaru arcdhes go from the inner wing outwards as an example) I use scoobyclinic up at chesterfield for all my work, they did both side sills past two years (one per mot).
  18. Tidgy
    tbh that looks done. https://haywardandscott.com/pages/subaru-legacy some options there
  19. Tidgy
    tbh its nothing new. Some manufacturers still claim 30k oil changes, well check the oil after 5k and see if you think it needs changing lol
  20. Tidgy
    have to say driving one of the new subarus after driving a lotus and caterham will be rather,,, lacking in fun? lol
  21. Tidgy
    xt and sti are very very different animals, bit like wrx vs sti impreza wrx 5/6k decent sti 15/20k. decent examples go for good money now adays.
  22. Tidgy
    Insurance can be a complete minefiled and prices seem to change from day to day. best bet is give your current insurer and ring and ask. Could also try some of the specialists like keith michaels. running costs tbh i didnt find much difference between a wrx and sti or the wifes forester.
  23. Tidgy
    uk special editions are usual pretty !Removed! and just cosmetic, subaru UK has little interest any more, pretty sure wont be long till subaru uk closes.
  24. Tidgy
    Afraid im from farther oop narth, so not really sure whos good down that way :S
  25. Tidgy
    Dealer wont be able to help with that, needs to be a specialist.
