Dash cam help
Yep just use a standard SD card to save to. Can be set to record all the time or has a motion activated record aswell. Powered by a BL-5C phone battery, old Nokia type I think. Can be recharged via the cigarette lighter aswell.

I know of a few around the Surrey area. it would be a bit of a trip but well worth it. Dan @ Surrey Subaru specialists http://www.surreysubaruspecialists.com/ Stuart @ TFS http://www.tfsracing.co.uk/ James @ Grd http://www.greenwoodracing.co.uk/ I have personally dealt with all three of them and would recommend them. the other option for you would be to check out http://www.southeastscoobies.co.uk/vbulletinforum/index.php it's a club in your local area, although quite a few of the members travel to Dan or Stuart.

Dilute Coolant
Did you put the anti freeze in the long necked yellow cap on the right hand side of the engine that says coolant? Yellow arrow on Pic. If so its just the over flow for the system, there is no return to the system from here. when I 1st got my classic scoob I thought this was for topping up the coolant and spent ages trying to fill the system up from here :)

water in boot
Be sure to check the inner wing, behind the boot liner. I had about 2" of water sitting there.
-
is my plate gonna be sought after?
Thing is you can get a WRX plate from £400, unless the 1st part of the reg is unique I doubt you'd get much for it. I had M77 WRX scrapped it with the car as no one was Intested in it.

Fuel and Oil Additives
50ltrs 10 Gallons with 10 ltrs 2 gallons of reserve I think.
-
water in boot
Check for leaks around the spoiler fixing points, if you can jump in the boot with a torch and get a helper to spray the hose over the boot area. Check for water ingress from the inside.

Firewall Grommets for power cable
Spot on that's exactly what I did, then if you want to use the hole you can gaffa tape the cable to the coat hanger and pull it back through. I think they come through above the level of the pedals, may have to fold the carpet down to get to it, cant remember it was so long ago :)

Firewall Grommets for power cable
Look from the engine bay there is a hole/grommet you can use by the brake servo, I used this on my classic for a few gauges, it comes out by the pedals. On my New Age I used the main cable you are talking about, it is possible to use but you'll have to make a hole in the rubber and reseal it with some goo. I used bicycle puncture repair kit. I pushed a piece of thick gauge wire through and then attached the wires I wanted to feed through and pulled it into the engine bay that way.
