David, yeah old codes are stored should be a function on the software to scan for historic faults and clear them. Whoop ash looks like an early christmas. Today I've mainly been for a hundred mile blast on the Yorkshire dales pub lunch and a slight recon for the nbo meet up point loads of other scoobs around but all random haha and passed my local subaru dealer have a new impreza in registered on their private plate. So I'll be off there tomorrow for a better look. Habe to say looked much better in the flesh.

Cheap Turbo blankets ?
Was speaking to my old man about this last night as he used to work with huge turbos, he reckons that a water and oil fed turbo should be ok with a jacket on as it's less susceptible to over heating. Using one on an oil fed turbo you may over heat the oil and cook the innards

I know if I had the money and space id have it, always fancied them. Her instructor was saying you need to get more experience etc. Asked does your partner drive, she assumed I drove a micra or something. Gem said her face was a picture when she said sooobrau.

What have you done to your Subaru today ?
To the bird or rad ? May be too late to save the bird :-D Much coolant leak out when you removed the offending debris ? If not much came out and the temp gauge stayed normal I'd just order a new rad and renew coolant

Cheap Turbo blankets ?
The downpipe does have a small heatsheild which was put on with the exhaust fitting, considering the place sells heat wrap and turbo gaskets I don't know why they didn't try and upsell me some ! I've only got a td04 on how much heat does it produce compared to the bigger ones ? How easy is it to wrap with the pipe on the car ? Sav, have you priced up getting it all ceramic coated ?

Mainly been watching the water bead up nicely after a fresh coat of wax for the last couple of days, ended up with loads of condensation in the n/s headlight after the crazy rain, trying to evaporate it off by driving round with lights on, anyone got any better techniques? Sent from my SM-T210

wheels
Lol taken me over half hour to reply with a trivial post in which time much more technical answers been posted :-D

wheels
Not silly at all mate, If you go up a wheel size too much you obviously increase the distance between the centre of the hub and outside and the whole footprint of the tyre which will affect the speedo. Braking, handling and various other things will be altered but you don't really notice unless you go to extremes. Going up in rim size down in tyre will keep it roughly the same you'll just loose a little comfort with having a smaller sidewall

wheels
Just keep in mind you'll need to keep the rolling radius the same as the cuurrent wheel or else your speedo will be out, Are you on 16" at the mo ? Sent from my SM-T210

Earlier cars have smaller tanks, I've never put more than 50 litres in, did you wait for the light to come on before re filling ? The gauges are well out too, I can do another 30 miles when it says empty and thats before the low light shows, May as well reset the ecu when you've filled it up with vpower too Sent from my SM-T210
