Yeah you're right there tidgy dont want to pull the engine if i don't have to, like i said i'll double check everything and i'll also borrow the sniffer from work over the weekend and see what that comes up with, the engine has done 83k but its also 25yrs old so maybe some deterioration in the gaskets, cheers for the advice matey 👍👍

Sound i will double check all hose's again as couldn't see anything but was getting distracted by the wee man at the time asking a million questions lol 😆, could the bubbles in the header tank be a leaking hose drawing air in? Just want to make sure everything is sweet before booking it in to see mr forrest for a remap as don't want to spend all that money for it to fook up during or after the map

Well everyone my v1 wrx has started using a tiny amount of coolant around 40-50ml every 400 miles, also sometimes a few bubbles in the header tank, now from what i've read and asking a few of the rally boys at work and my own experience i've concluded the head gasket is on its way out as there no sign of any external leaks so i'm going to whip the engine out over the winter and do the job myself, i'll get the heads skimmed while they're off and my question is is it worth getting the heads ported and polished at the same time, i'll be using a small local garage who build race engines and are very well thought of around where i live to do the skimming and any other related work, any advice is much appreciated folks

Welcome to the club plenty of leggy owners here to give advice 👍

What is it with the fecking roads in this country, fecking slowly destroying our pride and joys, you would think with the amount of !Removed! tax we pay to drive on the roads, plus the tax we pay on fuel we should have the best fecking road surface's in the world 😠😠😠

Welcome to the club 👍

Welcome to the club nice to see another member from north of the border👍, should have yourself a decent motor there its been well looked after whilst in sandy's ownership

Welcome to the club, if you check out importcarparts.co.uk they will be able to sort you out with the correct parts to do the job and they are quite reasonably priced aswell 👍👍

In the bit where you write theres a tab at the bottom with a little paperclip with choose files next to it click on that and itl ask what file type you want to add then go to you're pics choose one and voila the pic or other media will appear below the text

Welcome along, nice choice of motor, as has been said get some pics up of said sti when the day comes that you pick it up 👍👍

Not so sure about the windows in the xv but with alot of cars if you put the window down and hold the button for 5-10 seconds that should reset it on the downward side and the same for upwards, alternatively put the window down and push the button 5times then the same when you put the window up, hope this helps

Welcome along, all the folks on here are very helpfull with any problems that you may come across, feel free to get stuck in matey 👍👍

Agreed that looks like a weapon

Hi and welcome to the club, it could be the rear strut tops worn and giving some lateral movement and causing the back end to come round, have you tried jacking up the rear and checking for play back and forth and up and down

We ( myself and the wife) are coming in from the north and leave the A1 at scotch corner which then takes us on to a little back road which goes round the back of the circuit and brings us out about half a mile from the entrance and at the front of the queue 😃, we normally get there around 9.00, we just have general admission tickets aswell but at croft you can get right up close to all the cars and the viewing points are really close to the track aswell so you could say its quite intimate lol, not sure on how to work it if we are there before yourselves i could pm you my number if you like and you could give me a shout when you arrive and i'll get the cuppa's in 👍

Anyone off to croft tomorrow for btcc?@stants are you still going if so fancy a wee meet up for a coffee/tea ☺

@Seminole81 what voltage are you getting down the live wire to the bulb?, if you can try to get the probe on the mutimeter onto the pin in the middle of the bulb holder as thats the live and the metal surround is the earth, it could be the holder itself or the bulb may not be contacting properly inside the holder, if you have a little pick or screwdriver you can bend the live pin up a bit which should give a better contact to the bulb or get a pair of pliers and squeeze the body of the holder so that the bulb is fitting really tight into it, i'm not the best with electrics tbh but know basic stuff. @david1972 not sure if itl be a fuse as i think the rear sidelights are on the same fuse as the front, there will be a fuse for each side, i'm not sure how the front side lights are wired up on your car as i've never worked on one but could it be that the previous owner had a problem with them and wired them in together and now theres a fault with the wiring, its kinda strange how both are not working at the same time unless both bulbs are faulty but i'm assuming that you've already checked them

No worries dude hope it helps 👍, have a good time away down south and stay safe ☺

Not sure mate but found this on the old googley search https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://www.noblefix.com/helicoil/HeliCoil-Tapping-Chart.html&ved=0ahUKEwju4-z2467UAhUkI8AKHWcgDDQQFghfMA8&usg=AFQjCNFxM5UBenGq0_u47fBlGz1Q2_9CpQ&sig2=ZzIxLF4RWbka2crvS05zKA 👍

Heres hoping bud, hope you're away somewhere nice too

Thats just sods law aint it eh, stuff like this never happens when you have loads of time on your hands does it 😐

Sorry can't help on the caliper side of things but you could put a helicoil in or get a cheap tap and die set and tap it out and put another bolt in, would be cheaper than a caliper

Have you got a test light or multimeter to test if you have power to the bulb holder, could be a bad connection in the holder its self or a broken wire
