man with large tool abuses car.

Had the gb270 in for its 5 year/ 50k service yesterday including timing belt. Big thanks to charlie and mike a grieves for a top job and the usual excellent standard of service. They also have a deal on just now, got the service for £398 instead of over £550 and its genuine subaru parts think most of the services have a good discount on them so maybe worth a call if yours is due.

if you want to post....post! if you dont want to post.......dont! if you want to read a post.......read it! if you dont want to read a post......dont read it! it really is that simple

another vote for camskill, got mine from there as well

hawkeye i take it? my key has stopped working in the boot, although the lever still works. the middle bit in the seats is the only easy way in im afraid. has anyone got any fixes for this? tried good old wd40....nothing. have heard of a few others, coating the key in fairy liquid? heating the key up with a flame and using it in the lock? and lastly taking the whole boot lock out and soaking it and cleaning it? 2nd time ive had this problem although the 1st was under warranty thank feck!! obviously these fixes wont cure the lever problem only the key/lock one i'll let u know how i get on as planning on tackling this over the next 1-2 weeks

needing the 50k service done, so anyone got any reccomendations im in the central belt just outside glasgow. will get a price from ian grieves as well. on another note the boot lock on the hawk has stuck broke again, got it repaired/replaced under warranty last time however that was 2 years ago. i know its a common problem with it just stopping working (cracking subaru build quality again) so are there any fixes or does it need replaced and does anyone know a price?? cheers

ok cheers guys, i think its the peachy one.

its the tank on the side kenny thats just above minimum, not checked the actual radiator as i assume it will be full as there is stil coolant in the plastic tank.

checked ma coolant level last nite its about 1cm above minimum, the engine was cool. is this too low as i know it will expand when engine is warm? if so which coolant should i get/use? cheers for any replies

did your good lady check the rear struts before she bought it, F.S.H?? :smiley-taunt014: my good lady makes cakes part time and ive always wondered about getting her to do a scooby cake? might have to ask her nicely now looks good!

unlucky bud, good that the tracker did its job though i cant help you out regards what to do but this is the reason my good lady thinks im mad, when ever i come in i hide my keys so that if someone did break in the wouldnt find them.....2 and 1/2 years of ownership and still doing it lol

have not heard good things about them in relation to them not lasting very long compared to other pads.

hmmm i will go with the mintex then if the red stuff aint too good.

i know i had posted a thread before about brakes, but i think i have changed ma mind (hopefully for the last time lol) was gona go for the brake tech discs front and rear and mintex 114 or 115 pads but i thinks im gona go for the ebc pads and discs instead. linky to brakes Gona go for the braided brake lines and EBC red stuff pads and either the EBC turbo groove discs or the EBC ultimax discs, as they are the same price i would like to know: does any one have either of them fitted? which ones are best? any opinions on the quality/ or how long the discs and pads will last its for the subaru 4 pots and it would only be for road use cheers guys

hmm never seen it, think i will need to keep an eye out when am down that way!
