What's wrong with wicked wheels? They cover your area, do mobile service as well. Or I just found http://www.xpressalloys.com/ they are also a mobile service they cover Herts Both deflate the tyre, and wil do a colour change.

I pay £50 a wheel in general.

Why not call a mobile refurb chap? thery will come to home or work and will do 4 wheels in about 5 hours, job done no need to swap wheels ect.

Buy some from eBay and resell them?

I think grey imports will be the only way to get the new cars :(

Smart looking car, was going to buy a hawk eye myself before I got the Hatch.

Looks great. Loads of elbow work for such a small job, bet your right arm looks like popeye's now :D

Could always ask Top Gear if you could borrow the Fiat Panda Limo

2 options, nail varnish remover (acetone) to dissolve the glue, a strong bit of plastic to work behind the letters and prise them of can be messy though. Leave quite a bit of gummy stuff behind which require lots of elbow grease to remove. Or use a hair dryer to warm the glue on each letter and soften it, and a strong bit of plastic to work behind the letters and prise them off. I did actually use my fingers, but it was quite painful. This takes quite a time to do as the glue needs to be quite warm to release it. After you have got them off you will need to T-Cut and polish the area as you can still see the outline of the letters.

the do a stretched Tribeka in the US. Why not just go for the rally slagg? A scoob with all the raly stickers applied.

Just wondering what everyone does for a living? Me I work for Sky as a Movies scheduler. I basically make sure the programmes run with on time with the correct voice overs, promos, logos and BBFC thingys. I'll say now that I am not technical or customer services and I can't fix you're sky box, just unplug it and leave it 5 mins, plug it back in. If that didn't work call customer services :D That may sound blunt but I get it all the time and wish I could help but I can't sorry :( Also I don't personally know the "Evil Emperor" Mr Murdoch :)

Yeah an engine swap is easy enough to do. I did mine on the driveway. Borrowed an engine hoist and had it out in a couple of hours. If you do get another engine, change the cam belts and tensioners before you put it in the car. Oh and new spark plugs as well as I reckon it's one of the hardest DIY service jobs to do on the car. The access to the plugs is rather hard.

Good luck with the reluctant sale.

Damm that's a bugger, shame it wasnt just the thremostat or a leaky hose/Rad :( Pretty sure some one wil come along with a suggestion, Maybe contact a local subaru specalist see if they have any heads.

Go faster stripes?

Shame that, the car for you is out there somewhere, good luck with the hunt.

I'd replace ethe thermostat anyway, I had one that looked like it worked ok when testing in the kettle, but wasn't opening fully when in the car. At £30 its one of the cheaper things to eliminate.

Check the cam breather pipe?

I've just asked the Fozzie owners on my local forum if the impreza pod will fit straight in. If not I dare say they will know a solution. I I remember rightly the pod is designed to replace the lid of the cubby hole not the whole thing.

From the looks of it Pro R is an alternative to the Prodrive packs as neither invalidate the warranty. Found this for the 2008 PPP Power 330bhp at 5400rpm and torque 470Nm at 3400 rpm This pack contains.. Recalibrated engine management system High flow intercooler hose Stainless steel sports exhaust silencers Complies with Euro 4 emissions and noise regulations as per 'supercar limits’ http://www.subarupartsstore.co.uk/product/Impreza_WRX_STI_2.5_2008_-_onwards_Performance_Pack_SACC2811 I guess the extra 10bhp come from the removal of the cat in the Pro R set up.

Surely you'd negate the need for a spray with the front mount? Unless your a real life Gran Tourismo driver giving the beans on a track all the time :D 1. It's a bigger surface area so will stay cooler and be more efficient 2. Its on the front getting more air Surely the average temp across the front mount would be considerably lower than the top mount fitted as standard? Even the bigger top mounts you can get run cooler than stock.

Doh Forgot about the rad, could be a pin hole in the rad. Not saying Dogma is scaremongering, I heard all the stories of the head gasket going or warped heads, I also spent ages refilling the system trying to cure an airlock, but as I said it was a tiny pinhole leak in the end. Just get the car up to temp and pressure and spend time looking for leaks. I have a head gasket sniffer test I bought and never used, happy to sell it on to someone who needs it.
