matt78 Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 Hi everybody, just a note of appreciation to Ian Packer, AKA Sigma Sam. I had a problem with my alarm on my scoob, (which I posted on this section) the remote fob wouldn't work (wouldn't open the doors, disarm the alarm, or the immobiliser), and I didn't know the PIN for the keypad in the glovebox. I was almost resigned to the fact that I would have to get my car on a tow truck (£70) to my nearest Subaru dealer, then have to pay them (£170) to fit a new alarm ECU. However, Sigma Sam answered my plea on this website, and found me my code using information about the car and alarm system that I gave him, and advised me on pairing a new key fob I bought on ebay (£10). This has all worked, and I can now drive my scoob for the first time in a week! Don't know if any of you south west locals have ever had to call on him, but he is a lifesaver!

edmondo Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 I think I have seen them...................how long have you had her and have you done all those mods yourself?
matt78 Posted April 11, 2008 Author Posted April 11, 2008 I think I have seen them...................how long have you had her and have you done all those mods yourself? No mate, they were all there when I bought it. Wish I did really, would like to know more about engines, especially boxers. Changed some bits myself though, it had pod style rear lights, didn't like them at all so changed back to standard. Recently changed from Morrete headlamps back to standard, and the crystal side lights. The interior was Max Powered (bits sprayed white) changed that to dark graphite.
