try putting your details through confused.com m8 that's the way I always go for a cheap quote.insured both the impreza,s ive owned this way and other toys ive owned ;) tho I would of thought a Subaru turbo no matter the model would be tad more to insure than a Volvo pal give it a go let us no how you get on

hi m8 and welcome sounds like you,ve been busy with all your club trips be nice to go on 1 myself 1 day in my Scooby but the fear of her breaking down on me would prob stop me from actually doin it lol

lol I no m8 the brakes were sticky on my old impreza but luckily the guy I brought my bugeye off had brand new front calipers fitted a month before a bought it ;) o and my coolant prob is all sorted happy motoring for a while now hopefully lol. hope all go,s well with the brakes m8

well new exspansion tank fitted all bled up and PROBLEM SORTED lol thanks for all the advice guys ;) BIG SHOUT OUT TO (MIDLANDS SUBARU SPARES) IN BULWELL NOTTINGHAM VERY HELPFUL GUY !! and did me an exspansion tank for 30 quid

no m8 my mechanic has offerd to fit it for me for free cus I paid him for the other work and it did,nt sort the problem good of him really and with what I,ll have spent in the end am grateful :) but yeh hate it being sat out side nearly tank full of super unleaded to burn off lol but she will live to see another day and upset my neighbours so its all gravy ;)

cool cheers m8,turns out I had a crack in my exspansion tank near the rad cap found out today and yesterday spent nearly 100 quid having flush out new thermostat and new rad cap so new tank 2moz :(

brand new there 132 quid makin it about 155 quid with vat brand new cause they can only order them direct from the dealer but iam getting a second hand 1 from breakers yard in notts they quoted me bout 50 quid just be glad when its done nah lol gunna have a trip down to bulwell 2moz to Scooby breakers n get her back on road :)

right so I went out this morning bought a new rad cap but it was still leaking coolant so thought right must have a split in a pipe so went back to garage and found the real problem at last lol. so basically the little filler neck the rad cap fits to has rusted and split were it meets the exspansion tank so that's were the coolant is leaking from so just ordering anew exspansion tank nah :)

no m8 but I bet I could find 1 cause it would make sense as you say its boiling over but the car is not over heating it sits perfect in the middle of the temp gauge so I think best thing to do is find the coolant system bleed valve so it can be bled properly and get anew rad cap then take it from there.cause Scooby gee has had the same problem and his mechanic said new thermostat and flush out but he also had a leaky pipe under the inlet manifold so faling a proper bleed up and new rad cap I,ll have to get the pipework checked out.thanks for the heads up on the rad cap tho jay ;)

hi guys do any of you no were abouts the coolant system bleed valve is on a 2001 uk wrx and what it looks like cause just had my coolant done n new thermostat but my coolant is still boiling over so thinking it still has air locks cause my mechanic could,nt find the bleed valve so bleed it up manually. any help or advice welcome cheers

update. just got her back from garage had new thermostat been flushed out all new fluids and coolant is still boiling over :( but my mechanic could,nt find the bleed valve for the coolant system so bleeded it manually so there are prob strill air locks in there,that would cause excess pressure would,nt it ??

cool no membership fee works for me ;)

looks clean m8 I also have a 2001 wrx bugeye only running 240bhp but is standard apart from a K&N panel filter and full 3 inch straight thro ninja exhaust system but being booked in for a remap soon and been told to exspect 265bhp to 270bhp without anymore mods. keep up the good work ;)

thankyou for all your welcomes hopefully my new toy will live long enough to warrant buying a proper club membership lol

best place in your area m8 is TSL motorsport here is there number 01159374491 there based in keyworth on main street they do really good work.did some work on my old scoob as well as making and fitting the N spec exhaust it had on,they specialise in scoobs and evo,s hit them up give them a try :)

yeh I asked him to do the job lot best to play it safe and fingerz crossed I,ll pick her 2moz and it,ll be sorted but I,ll do a update when ive test drove her myself just to be sure.thanks for your advice m8 pushed me to get my backside down garage 1st thing not even drove scoob today gunna leave drivin her till after the works done don't wanna break my new toy lol

quick update been garage today and my mechanic agree,s sounds like anew thermostat and flush out is needed so ive booked her in for the work on Wednesday morning so I shall give a further update Wednesday teatime as to weather it resolved the issue. fingerz crossed eh :)

ok m8 cheers I,ll take it easy don't wanrt to go blowing my engine up lol. like I say its not over heating just keep spittin out coolant but I,ll get straight on it 2moz get to the bottom of it but thanks for the advice pal ;)

sound m8 cheers iam going to give Scooby clinic a bell 2moz cause they nearest scoob specialist to me so if they shed any light on the prob I,ll inbox you pal let you no what they think.its doing my head in cause it was fine till I put the water in and further diluted the mix so iam hoping a quick flush out and fresh coolant will resolve the issue.

hi all just a quick hello from a new Nottinghamshire noobie just bought my second impreza ive owned this 1 being a 2001 wrx. a work in progress :)

hi iam new on here and recently bought a 2001 uk wrx,now it was running fine but was,nt sure when it was serviced last and coolant looked low so being in a rush and having no coolant to hand I topped it up with cold water but ever since I did that the coolant keeps boiling over from the exspansion tank cause I noticed what looked like smoke coming out the bonnet scoop and it basically was just the spring loaded exspansion cap releasing coolant and it running onto hot pipework n such.the car doe,s not over heat it sits perfect bang on the middle on the temp gauge but the fumes from the excess coolant being burnt up is traveling into the car and stinks and having kids in the car I need to get this sorted so any help or advice is welcome. cheers
