  1. Hi

    Bit of a boring query but.................

    Yesterday I left my house and drove to get petrol (5-10 mins). Within that time my key fob stopped working and I couldn't lock the doors. Cut a long story short I annoyed a lot of people trying to get petrol as the car was stuck next to one of the pumps until I got someone to get my spare key which luckily worked.

     Has anyone else had a problem like this, it's not the key fob battery as I swapped the batteries around so seems the key just failed. It's not been dropped or got wet recently and I have been using the same key for around a year.

    I know the keys are pretty expensive to buy (warranty expried at end of Dec!) but don't want to get stuck if it happens again. If it makes a difference it's a 53 plate WRX wagon

    Cheers

    Managed to upload some photo's onto photobucket, first time doing this so let me know if you can see anything! Hopefully it might give you more of an idea of what I was talking about.

    Cheers

    Thanks for this, tbh I think I just scraped the sump guard and it does look to clean for anything to have been knocked off from the bumper but thought maybe something wasn't put back after the service. I am away down south till Thursday but will take a photo and try and post it when I come back.

    Thanks for putting my mind at rest.

    Cheers

  4. Hi

    A weird query for you all on a wet Sunday night. I have a Blob Eye WRX Wagon and recently had the car serviced but also grounded it on a car park curb! and don’t know if I’ve lost something or not. Basically the underneath of the centre front bumper there are 3 extended square areas with holes in the middle (same colour as bumper) which look like something should be attached to it (possibly guard of some sort). The possible missing bit would sit between the bumper and the sump guard. Any help would be really appreciated.

    Cheers

  5. I have a Cobra TrakQ fitted to mine and have to admit that the customer service side of things is1st class. I seem to get through within a few rings and emails are answered same day. Don't really know if the actual system is better or worse than the tracker though.

  7. I'm confused, easily done I admit. [:D]

    I have a 53 WRX with PPP and I needed to top up my oil, for the first time since getting the car, the service book states that you should use 5w40, fully sinthetic oil. I phoned my local dealer, where it was last serviced, and they told me to use Shell Helix as that's what Subaru recommend and that's what would have been used at the last service. I bought this but it's 10w40, fully sinthetic, not 5w40.

    I'm just interested to know if this makes a lot of difference and if it does what make and type you all use and recommend.

    Cheers for your help

  8. Hi

    Not in Carnegie Drive, Mine is WR Blue Mica and I'm up behind Queen Margaret Hospital.

    Thanks for all your reply's - still getting used to all the scooby waves, what a difference from driving an Alfa..

    Cheers

  9. Hi

    I'm new to Subaru and the forum, thought i'd post and say hello. Got my Dec03 WRX Wagon last Tuesday and am over the moon. It has the ppp fitted but that's all (I think) so checking out the forum for any advice. Tried to post a photo but didn't work!

    Cheers
