Fuel related, Im pretty sure using some fuels from certain companies would set off a P0420 code. Although can't be certain, but seems like a coincidence. Those were the BP and ESSO regular unleaded fuels, I think it may have added ethanol? I just stick to shell Vpower now :) worth getting the club card aswell, sometimes you get triple points per litre etc so you could get some money back

Just a thought, when you say pop and bang, are you talking about the huge bang when changing gear like the rally cars? If so that's anti lag used to keep the turbo spinning when the boost would drop. if not, then sorry was just a thought when driving back home :)

Welcome back from holiday, now back to work :) Try as scoobyghost suggested, you can get the car to flash the error codes to you if stored, a bit like morse code

Thanks for the warm welcome, yeah it was all good things I was hearing, not to worry :) mine is a Y reg 2.5 N/A auto legacy, was previously owned by the ministry of defence. I'm not sure where that guy got his red Impreza wagon, not sure if it had been changed or standard etc but his hood scoop is in black. Might be your one at one point :) A friend of mine had a blue V reg Impreza a couple years ago, I managed to find out some history of it by searching the number plate in forums... Found out at one point it was stolen in Essex!

By the way that's a nice looking special :) don't know if it's the camera but it makes my friends one look faded. Does yours have this really annoying rev hang when cold, where when accelerating and letting off the throttle (doesn't matter how quickly you let off) it will stay at the same revs, then after 2 secs will slowly... Slowly drop down? I've read up about similar complaints but think they were when engine warm? only way to make it drop slightly quicker is to take out of gear, de-clutch in neutral, to slow engine speed slightly, then clutch and stick into gear :S

Hi it's my friends car, when she got it the previous owner changed exhaust from cat back, it does a little rumble when lifting off the accelerator, but there is a leak in the exhaust at the moment. It was quite loud when she got it, guy at a Subaru breakers had a pro sport back box that made it quieter which is what is on at the moment, but had to cut a bit off it to make it fit as got different mid pipe. compared to my legacy (don't know how similar the exhausts are) it looks like the mid pipe is missing the resonator box

Will be at snetterton race track Thursday, so if you look hard enough, there will be one in the car park :) doing temp work while the super bikes are racing!...so anyway, guess she has two callipers to sell minus the bits you are holding in the picture! Looking at my last post... Got autocorrect interference! *also remembered to add spoke to someone who doesn't recommend heating that part... But if you have nothing to heat up or is heat sensitive, there is a freeze spray you can use which does the same thing but the other way round, also does a good job cleaning. Although I don't know what it's like with rubber partsWell done. Know someone with a car like yours, she took it to a small garage because of slight noise from the brakes. The guy at the garage called to say he broke something, so I drove over to see what happened. Be broke the bolts.... Then said I needed to get the bracket... When I went to the other side.... Oh he broke them too!!! So had to get two calliper so he could swap the bits. even then... He used an impact drill/hammer etc without heating etc beforehand! I managed to convince him to tap it with a hammer though....Hi was told about owners clubs on Facebook by another Subaru owner in shell near Attleborough, was driving a Impreza sport special at the time. He recommended the Impreza club but personally I have a White legacy so I think this forum is more appropriate :) will put some pictures up when I'm on a computer that will allow me to blank out some digits on the number plate, all I could do with what I have now is crop out half the car :/ also know another person in Norwich who uses a red Impreza estate as a delivery vehicle for a well known company :)
