Ok thanks for that.

Anyone got a number for them please ?

Hi Rich That's my next plan and I may be in touch with you for some info if that's ok. I'll see what BC come back with. []

Oh well Dave, I just hope they find the problem this time and stop fobbing me off. [:@] I did ask them yesterday if they had a qualified Subaru technician and they said they did ?? If they don't sort it this time me and them are going to have words !!!! [8o|]

Scooby broke down again last night and it's winging it's way to BC for them to have another look at, bloody thing, 20 odd grands worth and nothing but trouble. [:@][:'(]

Oh No !!!!! They can't !!! []

Arhhh I'll start making some visits there then now, oh as long as I get double total points of course !! []

Sorry to be ignorate but which shop do you have Rich ?

I appologise for this post first off, I know it's not about Subaru's. Some of my friends are doing a sponsored motorbike ride from Land's End to John O Groats which starts tomorrow, they hope to complete the distance in three days on the back roads. The fund raising is for Phil Hogg who I think supports most of the rally events around the island so I suppose it is a bit relevant. If you feel you would like to sponsor these guys and give to a good cause you can find out more at: http://www.end2endfund.com Thanks for your help.

Yeah, bloody quick however you look at it. [] Who's the guy in the RS4 ??

Sorry Andrew, silly question. [|-)] How did the RS4 Audi go, I had a run with him over the mountain a few weeks back and bloody hell does that thing go. [] That's not you in the picture with the Scooby jacket on is it Rich ??

What car were you in Andrew ?

Yeah, we got there early but when we were trying to get away it wasa nightmare.

I'm just putting a few shots up from the hill climb if anyone is interested. http://www.subaruisleofman.com

I'm going to go up to the gooseneck tomorrow morning about 10ish if anyone would like to meet and say hello.

Thanks for that, makes sense.[]

Stupid question time, sorry. Where exactly is the sloc please, I know it's down south ?[]

I'll be going to have a butchers. []

Hi Rich I did contact Subaru UK and they said BC should take the car until they fix the problem but because it is recurring problem BC said they could be here for weeks trying to sort it, which I suppose is true. I said to BC I don't care what you do I want my car sorting please, I paid a lot of money for it and it's unreliable, didn't get far really. [:^)]

OK Cheers Dave will check my PM.

Hi Dave No, nobody else has looked at it apart from Currans due to the warrenty thingy. I'll just keep driving it and see how it goes, it's a real shame because it is a beautiful car, without a doubt, you just lose a bit of confidence. I'm sure this is a one off because Subaru do have a good reliablity record. Do you know Dave if anyone meets for a lap over the ountain or around the TT course on the island. I've never pushed my subaru, basically because I don't have the experience and wondered if I could follow someone over the mountain to gain some confidence in it ?? I know the Sport Wagon is not the same as the STi but I would have thought the handling may be something near. []

Hi Dave Well I went there with my dad and bought the car in good faith and maybe Barry Curran sold it in good faith aswell I will never know but after a few months I couldn't get the thing started, then it was cutting out over the mountain and vibrating then the final straw was it wouldn't start down the airport after we returned from being away. I don't know much about Barry Curran and the dealership but I feel I've been let down. [|-)]

I've had no end of trouble with my scooby, it's a 2006 Sport Wagon that I bought from Barry Curran. Very disappointed with Barry Curran. It went in and they gave me an 8 year old Nissan Almera, nice. When they came back to me they couldn't find the problem and it has never been sorted so it could breakdown again at any time. [:@]
