Don't do this, check your alternator first, I did this and my battery was fine, go get it checked in a shop then test you alt Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk After a run she started fine which seems like she's charging ok,I can put a meter on the alt to check charging but I guess it's down to lack of use Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good luck with the sale, I found it more economical to buy a 2nd banger car for work and keep the scoob on the basis that wear and tear on a banger is a lot less than doing mega miles on a scoob and insurance balances itself out. The only big cost is the road tax then. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Jump started the scoob as the battery had died after being stood for a week, if it happens again will fork out for a new batt but I imagine it's from lack of use and short journeys Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Tempted- about an hour and a half away, only problem is my car is nowt special [emoji38] Sent from the moon using telepathy

Probably a silly question but is there not a tensioner or adjustment? It'd be a right pig to install otherwise Sent from the moon using telepathy

2 new toyo t1-r's fitted on the front and air con recharged. Now I have ice cold blowers and slow puncture sorted :) Sent from the moon using telepathy

Under the steering wheel if it's the same as a blob :-) Sent from the moon using telepathy

Took car to ats for a slow puncture repair, turns out there's a mini split in the bead :-( Pair of toyos on order from black circles again (will have matching tyres all round, yay!) to be fitted at ats for the same price as one tyre.....from ats. How does that work?! Sent from the moon using telepathy

Took it out for a spin around some back roads, encountered far too many cyclists and people driving 20mph below the speed limit for my liking but had a few cheeky overtakes. Forgot how brutal my car feels when I don't drive it daily Sent from the moon using telepathy

What's wrong with the headlights if you don't mind me asking? Sent from the moon using telepathy

What readings are you getting when the warnings go off? Sent from the moon using telepathy

I found that with 5-30 when hot at idle pressure could drop to 16psi, now I've changed to 5-40 it's more like 23psi. Also if it's aftermarket gauges just double check that the warnings aren't incorrectly set and going off too early. Sent from the moon using telepathy

Oil getting too hot and pressure too low? Sent from the moon using telepathy

To be fair I didn't even look at previous owners when I bought my scoob, was 5 owners but 60k, and about 10k of them in the last 4 years. Had the tell tale signs of being stood (tyres starting to perish but plenty of tread and a decent brand). I bought the car from a well established dealer (it wasn't actually on the forecourt at the time, was new in) whilst actually looking at another wrx, and apart from wear and tear items she's been good as gold, even doing 2000miles a month for a few months whilst working further afield.
