sorry accidentally posted here, instead of technical, have now posted the query there. again sorry, did say I didnt post often

Hi All, I don't post much at all, just tend to read the forums, and tonight spotted an alarming trend in conversations regarding shocks and the Gb270, some of the conversations going back sometime. I have a Gb270 so am wondering what I should be looking out for, are there clear symptoms when a shock fails, some people have implied leaks, 'odd handling' and knocks. To be honest I'm not very mechanical so I'm a little unsure. Is there anyone who can advise what I should look out for. My GB is only used at the weekend and has done only around 3k miles, but that doesnt seem to be much of a saving grace with the failure rate some people are seeing. Really appreciate your advise with this.

Mike, I might be interested, depending on tyres and stuff. Could you repost the link, its to your local machine. Cheers MiNT

To be honest it freaked the wife a lttle... :-) Yes that would be me tho the old IOMRC has been hacked and i don't use the new one as it seems really quiet. Given you are reading IOMRC do you have a buggy or car?

strange question, why do you ask?

Technically this would be the 3rd Subaru myself and wife have had. I've just partex'd my '06 2.5XTn Forester in for the GB270. Yes I know it wasn't old, but I couldnt resist. Partly because after buying the Forester we got the Black WRX which you mentioned. Thats the wifes. Driving that somehow took the fun away from the Forrester. Then with the dogs dinner of the '08 I decided I wanted a little piece of the magic for myself before Subaru killed the icon! Hopefully the GB will be a car to keep. Been a massive fan of Subaru and SWRT for years mind. OH, and thanks all for the welcome.

hey, just thought I'd say hello as I've just joined the forum. Also thought maybe you like to see my GB270. You should see it knocking around the island.
