scooby-girl

Thanks for the info![Y] I decided yesterday(Thurs) enough was enough! I phoned Dickson's Inverness they were more than happy to take at look at my scoob and even though they were very busy, they could fit her in on Friday[] So then I phoned Aird Motors for an update - they had fitted a new air control valve and then later that afternoon were going to have a look at the possible faults from the computer! I told them not to bother as I was coming over to pick my scoob up and was going to take it to a garage where they are willing to work on the fault! 2.5hrs later I arrive at Aird Motors to be told the fault has now been fixed and if I leave my scoob with them until today(Fri) they can fit the new part, but they couldn't guarantee that the part would arrive for Fri - a new air control valve, costing £300! - They'd taken one from one of their 2nd hand foresters, tried it in mine and malfunction light went off! As I couldn't go back over today and the thought of leaving her again at that garage, I drove her back yesterday. Tomorrow (Sat) straight from work at 6am I'm going over to finally get here fixed! only 8days after taking here there![:@] The final bill for all this is £661.98[:@] It's not under warranty! My local garage are only going to charge me for the cam belt no labour etc! and it's not even there fault! In future I most definitely won't be using Aird Motors ![:@] Any future servicing will be carried out by my local excellent garage![] And I will be having a rant a Subaru customer care! Jen

I won't be using them again![:@] I've just had my scooby serviced at my local non Subaru garage(cam belt service). Inverness sent the wrong cam belt- apart from that everything went ok, until the malfunction light came on and stayed on. My local garage checked and double checked everything that they'd done with Inverness Subaru and Aird motors ,everything was correct! They both said it's probably just coincidence that it's gone at the same time! Inverness have serviced my scoob once before and never again! [:@]They didn't even check the brakes for a 30,000 service and a couple of small parts were missing on my scoob when I got her back! So I thought I would try Aird Motors! I had my scooby sent by recovery to them last Friday. They told me they might beable to put it on the computer that day, so I went through will my scoob, after working a nightshift(no sleep). They were too busy, so I came away, but they did say they might beable to look at it later that day if not Sat, but defiantly Mon. I phoned them on Mon for an update- they'd had a look but didn't know what it was and they would phone me when they knew. Tues my dad phoned them as he was going through to Inverness, he asked the manager if my scoob was ready or if he could give us any clue as to when it would be, manager's reponse "it'll be ready when it's ready". Tues afternoon the mechanic phoned me saying that the timing belt tenisoner needed replacing and that he had a list of possible faults for the malfunction light problem. So I will be getting charged for them to look at what my local garage have done and for a new timing belt thingy, which my local garage have said I don't need, the old one was fine! Today I haven't heard a thing![:@] I'm thinking now of phoning Inverness[:@] to see if they will take it, and phoning the Subaru customer care! Jen

HI Johnny The handling is dodgy sometimes! Don't know if it's the winter tyres or what the Subaru dealer did to it, or if something is just wearing? Jen[]
