Massive thanks to Blake for plugging in his code reader last night and giving me peace of mind for my trip through to Falkirk today for the cars service. Cheers, Melly

That would be perfect mate. As you can see from my time of reply im currently on nightshift so if you could also add what time would suit you best in the pm that would be great too. Cheers, Melly

Yes Neil it's purely due to age and not miles. It's been serviced every year in April by subaru since new. Sometimes only 2k miles between services Cheers, Melly

Was wondering if any kind soul could be of assistance please. Only had my 03 sti for around 2 weeks now. I have noticed that at very low revs the car likes to kangaroo/hesitate when accelerating but this is intermittent. It is due its annual service this month so i booked it in with Grieves to have the 90k service carried out. I noticed that this service includes the change of spark plugs so i thought that maybe they were the cause of my problems due to age/condition and have ordered grade 7 plugs as i plan to increase the power a fair bit later this year. I had the car running outside my house this evening after it was doing its kangaroo/hesitating jig and decided to disconnect the maf to see if that was working ok. Car started to idle irraticaly and as soon as i plugged it back in the car was idling as normal. I decided to take the car with me to work tonight and whilst doing a steady 40mph and with no previous spirited driving the engine management light came on and has stayed on. I was hoping someone local to me could lend a hand with the use of an obd II code reader. I dont know if disconnetcting the maf has caused this EML or if it is totally unrelated but i would like to get the code checked before driving all the way through to Falkirk on Wednesday for the service. I'm hoping its something simple like the front lambda sensor Just for reference, the car has 30k miles from new, PPP fitted, prodrive exhaust replaced with blitz nur spec r but retaining sports cat. It had a turbosmart vta dumpvalve fitted but this was replaced with the standard recirc valve outside the sellers house (yes i cant stand them) Cheers, Melly

Redline. It was utter tosh Cheers, Melly

Thanks for the nice comments lads Cheers, Melly

Must be a small cat in the centre pipe then. I didnt even notice that when i fit my nur spec r to my hawkeye sti Cheers, Melly

I thought newage STIs only had the one cat in the downpipe? Cheers, Melly

Paint finish looks fantastic. Bet you cant wait to see it all back together for the first time. Cheers, Melly

Congrats on the new purchase mate and welcome back to the fold. I myself have also just returned this week with a silver blob sti. Cheers, Melly

And the fact i wont shut up about it Cheers, Melly

After being sutibly impressed with myself for buying another impreza last saturday it turns out the wagon has a bit of a history and therefore i will not be purchasing it. I was informed of this at the beginning of the week by a real top guy and he has saved me a lot of heartache. Not to be dettered i got back on the google machine and after a few days found myself another. This time its a Blob STI 2003/03 STI Type UK Silver PPP 30k miles 9 subaru service stamps in the book with invoices, every single receipt from the day it was first sold, every MOT and Tax disc. Blitz nur spec r 18" Ultralite G-Grids My good friend and fellow SIDC member RS Grant took me through to view the car on wednesday night and after a couple of hours a deal was struck and i left a deposit. Due to the fact i dont get a day off from work until sunday and Grant is currently on holiday he went through and picked it up for me this afternoon. At last i have another scoob on the drive and im extremely pleased with it. Just need to sell my s2000 now and i'll be sorted. Cheers, Melly

Gav I'll give you a call tomorrow at work if that's ok. Cheers, Melly

Well it seems I will be a Scoob owner once more. Picking up my hawkeye wagon on Saturday. 06 plate (£270 a year RFL) 35k miles 2 Previous owners Crystal grey 18" wheels Upgraded stereo It has all the prodrive parts but wasn't advertised with PPP, nor does it have the certificate. This is not a great concern as it will be suitably fettled with by me anyway. Really looking forward to picking it up next weekend now and making it my own. If the previous owner is on here give me a shout. No plate SN06 OSA. Cheers, Melly

Lol Glyn, i would have just posted up pics of the RS and done a little write up if i wanted everyone to know You'll have a chance to see it at the next dunee meet i promise Cheers Melly
