Well I dont actually count here as I lost my baby quite some time ago but I have now decided to give up on trying to get a replacement. Nothing I saw was ever going to be the same without some serious investment so now turning to bikes and doing my DAS in May...

speaking to Sut W about importing one now as cant find anything decent in UK....

Yup - thats what is worrying me plus seems to be an MOT failure so will need sorted yet Smiles has told me noone has been able to find problem so far...agh!!

Its the car I am looking at - fair play to the guy for being honest and telling me about it up front but its a bit of a worry esp as would be driving 500 miles home if I was to take it...

Would have to check but from what he has said is is just permanently on

apparently it has been checked previously and has been like that for some time which makes me wonder how the fek it got its MOT... ######, just when I thought I was getting somewhere

Or is it..... £6500 + flight to Southampton and a fekn long drive home lol Need to have a wee thinksee this weekend!

Apparenly the handbrake light also comes on occasionally bu goes out when you start to drive like a loose connection or something. The ABS light has always been on and despite going to have it plugged in and checked no fault code is evident and no one seems to know why the hell it is lit up. Considering my last experience with brakes resulted in the demise of my car....

Is this a serious problem? The ABS light is lit permanently although the ABS still works! any idea what might be causing it or what it would take to fix? Cheers

Ahwell - Smiles has told me they are going to hang onto the wagon for now unless someone offers him £7250 so thats out... Not heard anything from that garage in Bradford which aint a good sign and just been in touch with the last post above tho dont really want a saloon it is low mileage and cheaper than the Blue WRX...

Lol - taking my time is certainly one thing I am good at.... as the umpteen posts over the last few months will show. The scoobybits wagon I am wary about as the mileage is supposed to be 30K but he is telling me it is only showing 15K after some muckup... and I dont know him from adam.. The others on Pistonheads I have looked at couple tho most are bit high on the mileage... oh balls... do I really need a wagon... http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/274960.htm

Yeah - adv dont mention any of that stuff so have mailed them asking for full spec as curious what the module on the side of the drivers well is and there does not appear to be a rear tail light. No mention of MOT or TAX either, still waiting reply tho.. (still also waiting to hear from Smiles aswell, think I have bored him to tears aswell)

Aggh (bet I ain the only one saying that when this thread came back to top) Whats the cons of the bugeyes apart from the looks, wondering about Pauls as its a much newer car (altho with mileage a bit high) Also found a 98 V4 STI for 5K somewhere in Bradford http://www.haycliffecars.autoweb1.co.uk/de...mp;cdID=1358679

I have been thinking about it but I really like classics and am after something with uprated performance AND suspension - hence the STI Wagon idea....

I took mines off, well ratther Hypertech did. Was part of map so hard to tell what difference really was but certainly sounded a lot better as could hear the air being sucked in more than you could the turbo wine!
