Fee Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 [] Impreza is finally back up and running....new radiator arrived Tuesday and was fitted last night I am so glad to be back on the road! Took the old one out and found the problem straight away...there was a clear 2 inch long split down the end cap (right on one of the join areas) I can't believe how excited I was to be driving it again today! Have to say....I ordered the rad off ebay from radiator_specialists on Monday afternoon and had it delivered Tuesday morning....would highly recommend them A very happy fee fee []

Big Daz Posted August 25, 2006 Posted August 25, 2006 It involved me trying to outrun an Impreza on the main straight and waaayyy too much nos. Like a muppet I kept my finger on the button and tried my best to blow the engine into next week. Result is either the piston rings or vlave stem seals are shot (probably both). I will now need to be nice to Darren as he will have to strip it down to ascertain the damage and formulate a repair / recovery plan[:$] Edited for accuracy by Big Daz [][] btw glad the Impreza is feeling better, just pug to go now?
Fee Posted August 25, 2006 Author Posted August 25, 2006 No pug is up and running too.....it was almost ready for knockhill....just needed a few extra things done, but Adam got delayed offshore and I didnt have time to work on it. Exhaust manifold came loose again...turned out one of the bolts was knackered (it was beginning to sound a lot like a tractor!) so got a new fitting kit and its all sorted now
