Have you got uprated strut top mounts? It could be them that are knackered

You could just try swapping the actuator quicker than swapping the turbo.

I find it handy for ID as i quite often get asked if im 18 cheeky buggers im away to be 26

I just wait till they are half worn on the front and then swap corner to corner and mine have done 7k so far and still have 6mm all round left

What your both old farts meaning your old enough to have a paper license

Copied from scoobynet This might be of interest to the speeders amongst you who might need to produce their documents only to find that you are out of date. Very Important for drivers. Unwitting motorists face £1,000 fines as thousands of photo card driving licences expire. Thousands of motorists are at risk of being fined up to £1,000 because they are unwittingly driving without a valid licence. They risk prosecution after failing to spot the extremely small print on their photo card licence which says it automatically expires after 10 years and has to be renewed - even though drivers are licensed to drive until the age of 70. The fiasco has come to light a decade after the first batch of photo licences was issued in July 1998, just as they start to expire. Motoring organisations blamed the Government for the fiasco and said 'most' drivers believed their licences were for life. A mock-up driving licence from 1998 when the photo cards were launched shows the imminent expiry date as item '4b' They said officials had failed to publicise sufficiently the fact that new-style licences - unlike the old paper ones - expire after a set period and have to be renewed. To rub salt into wounds, drivers will haveb to a pay £17.50 to renew their card - a charge which critics have condemned as a 'stealth tax' and which will earn the Treasury an estimated £437million over 25 years. Official DVLA figures reveal that while 16,136 expired this summer, so far only 11,566 drivers have renewed, leaving 4,570 outstanding. With another 300,000 photo card licences due to expire over the coming year, experts fear the number of invalid licences will soar, putting thousands more drivers in breach of the law and at risk of a fine. At the heart of the confusion is the small print on the tiny credit-card-size photo licence, which is used in conjunction with the paper version. Just below the driver name on the front of the photo card licence is a series of dates and details - each one numbered. Number 4b features a date in tiny writing, but no explicit explanation as to what it means. The date's significance is only explained if the driver turns over the card and reads the key on the back, which states that ‘4b’, means 'licence valid to'. Even more confusingly, an adjacent table on the rear of the card sets out how long the driver is registered to hold a licence - that is until his or her 70th birthday. A total of 25million new-style licences have been issued but - motoring experts say - drivers were never sufficiently warned they would expire after 10 years. Motorists who fail to renew their licences in time are allowed to continue driving. But the DVLA says they could be charged with 'failing to surrender their licence', an offence carrying a £1,000 fine. AA president, Edmund King said: 'It is not generally known that photo card licences expire: there appears to be a lack of information that people will have to renew these licences. 'People think they have already paid them for once over and that is it. 'It will come as a surprise to motorists and a shock that they have to pay an extra £17.50.' The AA called on the Government to use the annual £450million from traffic enforcement fines to offset the renewal charge. Just to say i just checked mine runs out 2012 Bar stewards

I can't see the point in having a car like that and not using it. Although people do that with scooby's as well sit them in the garage and use them once a month. I use mine every day some rain or shine

Yes looks like the car i saw at BHP developments in Aberdeen maybe not though Sorry i could not make it, offshore again. Hopefully im off for the next one. How it possible to work 20 weeks a year and miss everything

Well if it was me i would be going to http://www.awdmotorsport.co.uk/ They are based in Perth and used by alot of people on here including me. Best to give them a phone and they will tell discuss your options.

1.Make sure it's nice and warm (the oil) 2.Remove plug from top and then from bottom allow oil to drain out. 3.Replace drain plug on bottom 4.Start filling from top slowly and check the dipstick till it's full just like you do with engine oil 5.Replace filler plug 6.

1. If your sidelights won't switch off look for the parking light switch on top of the steering column . 2.Use the search function on the forum before asking the same old question . 3. The best first mod for an impreza is the exhaust (backbox at least) 4. Buy a classic 5. Make sure you get regular quality oil / filter changes every 3 - 4000 miles 6. Always run the car on good quality fuel - V Power/BP Ultimate/Tesco 99 and add octane booster for safety in an unremapped import 7. Avoid "chip"ing an impreza - get it remapped by an expert like AndyForrest (Apexi for classics, ECUtek for newage) 8. Sell the Newage and buy a Classic 9. Always wait till the engine is nice and warm before giving it full pelt and let it cool down befrore switching it off 10. Upgrade your brakes before modding the engine 11. A VTA dumpvalve isnt really a good idea unless your car is getting remapped to compensate for it. It will momentarily make your car run rich as the ecu gives fuel for air which has been dumped and not recirculated. All you are missing is the gay noise. 12. Solid rear droplinks and a decent suspension geometry set-up are probably one of the best sub-£100 modifications you can do to a standard car. 13. new ages will undertseer when at the limit 14. If you have a classic get Strutt Braces. The improvement is outstanding! If you have a new age...no luck! loL! 15. Clean out the boost solenoid once in a while and dont fill engine oil right up to max. 16. Go to the SIDC track days at knockhill, you get free tuition from an instructor if you want (plus ensure you wear Cat boots far better that way!!!!) 17. Love every minute of driving and owning it (it will make handing over the credit card much easier 18. Goto meets/Knockhill/Crail and tell us who you are?We don't bite sometimes 20. Join the SIDC and you'll get discounts on insurance and dealer supplied parts in addition to track days. 19. For some obscure reason there is a lot of mention of goats & homosexuals in here. Do NOT let this put you off our forums. 99% of our members are "normal" but we are all fans of The Hoff. 20. Always prefill the oil filter when doing an oil change 21. Dont believe everything you read on the forums. 22. Send off for a Shell card 23. What ever BHP you get, you will never be happy 24. BLUE is the best colour. 25. Is your car standard? - leave it that way. 26. Watch out for the Impreza's "lift-off" oversteer. It's wicked, particularly on a wet Knockhill! 27. wave to other scoob drivers 28. never buy a set of lexus rear lights[+o(] 29. sidc love some photography of your beloved 30. dont sell your scoob you will regret it and will end up with another 1 31. The best place to hang out on saturday nights is at OSIDC 32. Modding is for MEN 33. Going JDM is for winners..........leave the chocolate UK's to the Willy Wonka lovers! 34.^^Andy speaks the truth, JDM is the way forward!! 35. K.I.S.S. Keep it simple stupid and don't mod what doesn't need modding (dump valves etc) 36.NEVER let the other half known how much youve spent on the car.she will be jelious! 37. Dont go to Halfords for your servicing parts - they are more likely to give you filters for a lada or skoda. 38. the bright button really does just make the clock brighter 39. Never believe anything read on Ebay

There may be time but there is no money! Time to buy my first house

looks I should have bought a type-r

exactly 2 bolts Top one is fill Bottom one is drain Take the bottom one out then the top, allow all the oil to drain out put in the bottom (drain plug) Fill through top hole untill no more will go in. Replace fill plug and ensure drain is tight also Job done

They look brilliant Zircotec coated but it's just to bloody expensive and i would chip them installing them!! Can you wrap on top of that coating for double insulation?

Tell them you only want the sensor not the assembly included. The have quoted you for the sensor and the actual pipe it fits into.

behave now im not that good

It all depends on what job your in. I is perfectly obvious to me they have been cutting back for a while. Thankfully im on a fixed platform and essential for production. We have already been told there will be no drilling for the next 2 years and PSN cut there staff before christmas. But if the oil price was to go back up all would be forgotten.

not if you take your time with plenty overlap means u actually have less wraps to do because it covers a greater area. Plus down pipes are easy it's headers and manifolds that are a mare no matter the wrap width

When your stating how many rolls u need what width and length are you talking about? I have a roll in the shed which is 3" wide and 40ft long suppose thats enough for my down pipe

Saw this bought all the available back issues and then signed up for a year

Carbon effect it is not, real carbon fibre it is was over $200 Thought it was worth doing it properly as u only fit defi's once!!! I love them, never realised it took the oil so long to warm up woops no harm done hopefully Kev name change because i wouldn't let me upgrade my other login!!
