more of an update now. turns out the previous a-pipe modded all the wireing, and although nobles changed teh affected wireing loom/harness cant mind which ,a nd replaced with new wires, they found out after second diagnostic that another four points in the wireing was knackered aswel, tehy said the guy who done all the modding before i got her used normal STI wiring, and not WRX STI wireing ,, didnt know there was a difference to be honest , or that it would affect it . so nobles are looking into seeing if its worth while fixing . heres what the guy from evans halshaw down at porty emailed me to sudjest From: "..................." @evanshalshaw.com> Date: Wed, 16 Jun 2010 13:17:55 +0100 To: < Subject: Possible ideas??

Evans Halshaw Citroen Riverside way Sheffield Road Rotherham S60 1BN If you go onto Google and type in “sale of goods act” it will give you plenty of information as to what you are entitled to. I’m still waiting for the call from Noble’s to give a better breakdown as to if the car is actually repairable or if it will need to be returned under the sale of goods act? chin up guys!!

cheers bud , will see what they say when i get updated on monday and im off that day , also see how my complaint letter goes to the dealership that sold it, the dealership in edinburgh for taking so long and their head office, but cant find a customer complaints department or head office anywhere for evenas halshaw just some pendragon group they are apart off which is where il be sending my letter

lets face it if you had to choose which one was to get knicked , youd be picking the mondeo , unless it was the new version of subaru which is just too round short and doesnt have a proper bonnet scoop on it , looks like a bigger up to date version of a pulsar but but that black bad boy looks the dogs knackers

looking good and shiney , was also tempted to get that turtle wax ice as it looked good, also good to see thr priorities are correct, hide the number plate on the scoob, dont bother with the ford

yeah also bought the extended warrenty when i bought the car , it was either a year or two years extened warrenty for £400 thinking that im atleast covered on the car incase something goes wrong with it being 7 years old, so when i next pick it up i will go over exactly what it covers and what it doesnt cover so if something else does go then i know whether im paying or not,

there a meet the 29th this month? lol duno if il hav the car back by then , its so sad its turnin funy

midnight ur a genuis , sorte dit , thaks soo much , duno how it changed in the first place

cheers gordi, like i said still hopefull taht all these new parts means i shouldnt ahve anymore problems seeing how theyve all been replaced and not just fixed, think if it was more thaat they had simply been fixed id be more inclinded to get cash back but the fact that its all new parts and subaru thats doing it all is the thing keeping me hopeful. p.s anyoen know why all the replys are collapsed and i have to click on each on to see what it says, unlike before where i wld open up a thread and see everyones response, now its like the replys are collasped with a lil red star next to them and i have to click on the reply to open it up, i got told it was browser settings, and have tried changing them but to no luck , any body got any adivce wi that now lol , or what browser settings i may be missing lol

cheers , well i will wait to see when i get it back see how it runs , and technicaly i shld still have that 30day ownership thing to get my cash back seeing how they have had it since i got it , so if anything fecks up in the 30 days then il just say i want my cash back and the money for the extra 2 year warrenty

cmon cosco cake all the way especialy with that frosty icing

lmao you never know like , maybe he runs it off pure VOLVIC mineral water with all its vulcanicity , and the filter of millions of years through those volcanic layers , makes it extra potent stuff , subaru impreza wrx mini volvic noz givs your car that vulcanicity , "VOLCANO FILTRED"!!!!!! GO TO YOUR NEAREST SUPER MARKET TO GET THIS EXPLOSIVE MOD NOW!! (advise shoping around as many supermarkets offer great deals buy one bottle get one free, or 3 for 2 ) TESCOS CURRENTLY BEST VALUE

cheers folks, realy dont wana get rid of it like, just hope seeing how its had major engine work done to it i shouldnt have to worry , because going by the logs and reciets in the book, the engine was taken out previously had new belts/ filters and liquids all replaced head gasket the lot cost the last guy £1700 and that was just a cpl thousand miles before i got it and majority of its services and mots were done by a subaru garage all except 2, and now with new wireing / wireing harness /loom thats been put in since ive had it im hoping thats it sorted and this is just a little hic up, cause when i got going and got it up to the 30mph - 40mph in 3rd and 4th gear there was a strange sound that i wasnt used to coming from the rear left side over my shoulder which made me think sumthing with the exhaust and thats what has caused the engine management light to go on maybe a sensor or sumthing had broke which caused the fuel not to burn right which caused the strange sound and the light to come back on.... not mechanicly minded but know the odd bit and bob but prety basic stuff, and usualy know if sumthing isnt sounding right or not . as for warrenty i paid an extra £400 bucks for an extra 2 years warrenty on top of the usual basic three months when i got the car also wish i got the years service cover but didnt know they done that aswel , though their warrenty cover seem fcuked up cause you look at the excluded items and nearly all the parts of the car are excluded except the wing mirrors, so think il get them to explain exactly what will be covered with this extra warrenty when i next go back in . il find out today when it goes up to nobles and they put it on diagnostic again for the 3rd time. and il get a phone call later on today, realy gutted missed all these shows and meets, missed the shows up at knockhill , was hoping to get along to the bridge of allen classic car one got my name down for it wana put faces to the names and to all that have helped aswel, see the other cars but cant say il defo have the ca back by then depending what they find and if they need to order new parts again... only thing thats

back to nobles which is a subaru dealership, they have done all the work, was subaru that told evans halshaw guy who said he shldnt tell me but they think its had lots of mods taken off before being sold and the wireing wasnt put back rite thats why it took nobles so long to fix everything, new wiring loom/ new wireing harness, quiet a few new wires all put in aswel evans halshaw footing the bill for labour and parts , i dont pay a penny

dunno , its back to nobles tomorow for a diagnostic, so wait and see i suppose, trouble is finding a wrx sti with the gold alloys correct rear spoiler, and in blue, for reasonable price, with decent mileage around £6,995 and not any older than 03 plate, was looking at cpl on sale on here but just out of the price range

ok more of an update now after them having the car for 7 - 8 weeks now, finaly got the car back today, said the previous owner had modded it to hell knackered the wirring and put most of it in back to front. so they polished it washed it , had it ready for me, heres me all excited, big smile back on face, admitedly i turn up get it and theres no petrol left in the tank and the fuel light is on. so i take it anyway , wanting to just sit in my baby drive her again, feels good, i drive ten miles to get to a garage to put some v-power in her and just before i get to the petrol station the MOFO engine light comes back on, ..!!!!!!! THIS IS NOT HAPPENING TO ME!!!!!!!!!! phone evans halshaw they say bring it back, get down there , guy said subaru think there may be alot of problems with the car , but hes gona have to send it back up to nobles, let them look at it and it will go up tomorow at some point and they will put on the diagnostic straight away incase its sumthing simple. evans halshaw guy says after them having it for 8 weeks, maybe i should consider getting my money back and not taking the car for the amount of trouble i may have with it. i realy dont wana get rid of it, especialy after two years of looking for this particular model, wrx sti type uk , in blue with the gold alloys at that price.so heres hoping it realy is something simple , and not to bad and i get it back next week,

yeah lived in lauder for cpl years, and a68 everyday 5-6 days a week comuting into edinburgh for work, down at 04:30am or 5am for work , and empty roads and nice 120mph speed down sutra hill , but gota watch those mobile speed camera vans especialy around soutra , but yeah very nice roads, wish i had the scoob when i lived out that way. a721 nice aswel , very windy roads with the odd str8 bit for overtaking . nice scenery aswel

should see them down at mcdonalds opposite the travel lodge in berwick upon tweed, pulled in there at 7- 8 ish in the morning, and youl find them all havin breaks, made the mistake of pulling in quite quickly in the old hyundia coupe , thot id get a spot of double mcmuffin, came round the corner to find 3 mercs, 2 bmw's all police high vis cars, and the group of coppers sittin at the windows , a lil turtle suddenly reared its head in my underwear .

looking good mate, was the strut brace previously fitted before the engine bay clean and new hoses or did you put it on afterwards. thinking of getting mine done like that looks good

lets hope privilage giv me a decent quote then , if not will be trying for admiral multi car

with privlage the now 5 yrs no claims going on 6 , insurance due in june. was £450 for the hyundia and cost me £70 to get it changed to the scoobaru for admin fee's so waiting on the proper reual quote from them hoping it wont be any more than £750 but have the felling itl be up the the grand region

lol rig pig try this 1972 - STREET LEGAL 2200 bhp vauxhall victor (red victor1) 0 - 60mph in 1 second qauter mile in 7.8 secs

should see ghost rider in his subaru geting away from the police. nice grunt to the sound of the engine aswel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBaCrWhDdmE probably the better clip this next one because it includes the police helicopter http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-21Ic399S3E...feature=related

YEAH said they have to take the top half of engine apart to find it as the previous owner tried to mod it and has knocked sumthin or not put the wires back properly , as said im glad im not havin to pay for it , hope nobles charges evans a shed load for labour and parts
