he didn't even spell bald correctly! i've been shaving my head for about 20 years now so it's not as if i haven't heard the bald jokes before!! he's commented on my feedback & called me a "chav/gypo" :D this is the feedback i left him "listed as "mint like new" turned out it's covered in rust & bent! seller abusive" his reply "A chav/gypo brought used item cheap and now moaning. son of a b"

i know, i wish this had happened last week as i was working down South on Saturday

here's the latest messages he's sent today! makes for an interesting read! :D "listen you mother f*cker.. u don't know me. revise your feedback. you got a support bar cheap price. stop being a d*ck. remember your address becoz i do. bet you got a lovely scooby parked outside. wonder how long it will stay like that . you son of a gun. i won't let this go mark my words. people like you f*ck things up for people like me who provides honest parts at cheap prices. think about the feedback left by you. revise it. otherwise in time youll see what i mean about your scooby staying nice condition" "you son of a ******. wait and see what happens. seller abusive when mugs like you get a cheap item genuine. if your not happy send it back and go main dealers and pay full prices. you think your clever. turn up on your doorstep. u mother f*cker. revise your feedback" "i got all information i need. kind regards. stay safe look after your scooby you know you hear stories of cars going missing. very sad isn't it. don't become a victim. security is important. kind regards you bold headed mug" "go and get a bigg ***** fitted in your mouth and back side" all these came within 10mins of each other while i've been out at work!

i've got a Focus 2.0TDCi for the Mrs & little lad, they probably won't go in my scooby that much. The Mrs certainly won't be going anywhere in it without me! :D The Focus has been remapped so it has more than enough power for her now! It is harder to keep the van clean. If i'm out doing "spanner" jobs i take a spare set of clothes so i can get changed once i'm done. I've i'm out doing keys or other clean jobs i have smarter, cleaner work clothes.

yep that's another thing, if i make a balls up of it! i'm not so worried about scratching it as i'm not the sort of person to have lots of clutter in a car & fill the trays up with coins, keys & general crap! everything is lept to a minimum! even in my work van i don't like to have crap everywhere

yep! now i'm trying to decide whether to order the carbon vinyl wrap i've been looking at. Thinking of doing the storage tray lid, stereo, heater, gearstck & handbrake surrounds/trim but don't know if it will just look tacky!

too late! i've literally just ordered TIM O/P & boost gauges! told you i don't hang about! :D

i don't mess about when i decide i'm going to do something! although i am going to resist fitting everything until i've got all the parts & i can get it booked in for a remap! Oh & i've also ordered a oil pressure sensor sandwich plate. Just need to decide on which o/p & boost gauges i'm going to buy! been looking at TIM

yep! got a nice set of new parts already sat in my garage as well as a few more on order! So far i've got new TD05 16G turbo used blobeye STi T/M intercooler new Green panel filter new 2.5" stainless decat downpipe new silicone rad hose set new STi 1.3bar header cap Also going to order a 2.5" stainless up pipe, a walbro 255 pump, silicone turbo/intercooler/vacuum hoses & a new BOV. Still not sure whether to go for a recirc or vent to atmosphere

if emailed Ebay again with regards to his latest reply. His Ebay name is zabas786! oh & yes, it looks like he uses the same email for his facebook! https://www.facebook.com/zahir.abas.501

Hi i recently purchased a rear bumper support bar for my MY00 classic that was described as "mint like new" It was listed at £29.99 Buy it Now with best offer. So i offered £20 thinking the seller would counter offer with about £25. With £14.99 shipping Anyways he just sent an arsey message about the good condition it's in, high postage charges etc so counter offered with £29.98. As i needed a bumper support i just thought whatever & accepted it. When it arrived it was far from mint, it was covered in rust, bent & twisted in the middle & 1 of the mounting brackets looks like it had taken a knock. I decided to sort the rust out so rubbed it down, painted it & straightened it out. Then i emailed the seller complaining about the condition it was in & asked for a partial refund of £9.98 as it was nowhere near how it was described. Basically he just said tough, what did i expect as it's used. I then said that as it was described as "mint like new" i expect to receive an item that's "mint like new" His next reply was this 'think twice before leaving feedback . remember your address where your scooby is. u mug don't accuse me and threaten me. u don't know me. this is england 2013' :cuckoo: Anyways, i don't do the whole "oh my god i'm scared" thing so have left him negative feedback! His feedback has generally been positive. With just 2 neutrals stating that they're items were damaged. Strangely they'd received refunds so not sure why he chose to be a c*ck with me! So be warned, if you buy anything from this guy it may turn out to be damaged & if you complain about it he may just turn into a moron again Craig

right then, yesterday after a few beers i decided to have a look for an STi T/M intercooler for the MY00 UK Turbo i bought last week. I found 1 that looked good so put a few bids in on it & won it! I've just realised that it's actually for a bug/blob eye! Now i'm not the sort of person that would decide to back out of the transaction so what i want to know is..... Will a bug/blob eye STi intercooler fit on to a MY00 UK Turbo & if so what modifications am i goin to have to make to get it to fit(if any)? Oh & i know that an STi intercooler on it's own isn't going to make any difference, so i've also bought a TD05 turbo! thanks Craig

no probs :D

yep, worth a try

i'm sure you can get the pin code from Subaru. The problem is if any of the previous owners have changed it! Like i have with mine

i'm quite new to Subaru alarms as most of the cars i do keys for are mainstream European stuff like VAG, BMW, Ford, Vauxhall, Peugeot, Renault etc etc However. When i bought my UK Turbo last Monday i noticed that when i unlocked the car with the key, which i had to do as there was no fob, then even when i tried to start the car it wouldn't as the Sigma alarm auto arms & unlocking the car with the key doesn't dissarm it. So, i then found that to be able to start the car i had to enter the pin code into the keypad twice. So if you haven't got the pin code & you lose your 1 & only fob you're going to have problems

bit of an update, 2nd fob came yesterday. Easily programmed just like the 1st fob! so now i have 2 full sets of keys for not a great deal of money neither

no worries, you're welcome

you've answered the question yourself, just follow the programming instructions to tell the system to accept to fobs. You have to program your original fob again with the new fob so it doesn't delete it

yep, i thought about bidding on this so i'd have 2 fobs but decided for the £23 i paid for a new fob i'd rather just buy another. Pretty sure she has some more left even though they're not listed at the mo. her ebay username is jenniuk

ok well if it looks the same as this then it's an M series The remote i have bought is grey where the above is blue, mine says Sigma on it & not Subaru. I was going to wait & bid on a blue Subaru 1 but as i didn't get any fobs with the car i wanted to buiy 1 straight away

spoke to the seller again, she has some more. She listed another the emailed me straight after so i could buy it! So now i've got 2! If yours is an S series alarm then yes you'll need an S series remote. Think she only has M series though. What colour is your original fob? M series are blue or grey, S series are black

well i was going to bvuy another but they've all sold! i've emailed the seller to see if they're getting any more

right bit of an update. The Sigma fob arrived today. It came with 2 spare batteries & programming instructions. I didn't need the instructions as already had a copy of the manual so I have to say i'm extremely impressed so will be buying another from the same seller. The programming procedure is very simple, providing you have the pin code of course :D

Hi mate you need an M series remote which you can buy easily enough from Ebay. Doesn't have to be brand new. Then all you do is programming it using the keypad & pin. I bought an Impreza yesterday which came with 1 ignition key, keypad, pin but no fob so i've just bought this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151025064294?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 I've just cut & programmed myself a 2nd ignition key(yes, did it myself, as that's what i do as part of my business). So once the fob comes & it programs ok i'll be ordering another
