  2. 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
  3. 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

  6. 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
  7. 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
  8. 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
  9. 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,

  16. 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
  17. 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
  18. 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
  19. been 5 and a bit weeks now, and ive only owned the car for 6 and a bit weeks , so i had it basicly a week and theyve had it ever since, just got phoned the now, theyve had the go ahead so work is getting started
  20. FUTHER UPDATE FOLKS, nodles subaru in penicuik ran the wireing diagnostic , yesterday , looks like i still wont have the car back . they phoned this morning to say there is a wire somewhere in the wireing sumthing sumthing, and engine sumthing, was a voice message on the girlfreinds phone could barely hear. they dont know exactly where the loose wire is , but are going to have to remove the engine and head gasket and look for it before they can fix it , just glad im not paying for this . think evans halshaw in edinburgh is waiting to get permision from evanshalshaw in rotheram to let nobles go ahead with the work as they have to cover the cost of it all .... quick update / just edit this now. got a phonecall from paul evans halshaw edinburgh , he says according to nobles ,its a trapped wire in the wireing loom , causing an injector problem which is sending an incorect pulse to the injector , nobles thinks the previous owner has tried modding the engine and when they have taken off the intercooler and turbo and put it back together they have caught a wire somewhere, so nobles are going to have to strip the top of the engine to find the problem and fix it, which is roughly 3hours work but they cant go ahead with the work until evanshalshaw rotheram give evans halshaw portobello authorisation to go ahead with the work as they pay for it , so portobello halshaws waiting on a phonecall from rotheram dealership manager MICHAEL BOLTON ( yeah that is his name) lol to get back to them so they can inform nobles to give them the go ahead to start . personaly i dont see why they need the eprmision as its all one dealership , and they should just say go ahead and they send the bill to rotheram , and as ive said previous the only mod i can think of is a turbo timer being fitted , unless thats standard , but to me it looks like an aftermarket mod , as the timer in the dash dosnt look like its been put in too well and not suited properly for a scoob
  21. lol cheers for the edit, just did a double take and realised i put seaton , in the words of his yellow eternal greatness "DOH"!!!
  22. think the guy lives in the house opposite, its a modded white scooby , classic i think or hawkeye, got a nice body kit on it and few stickers, always sitting outside there just down from the mechanic or gardner arms and the little garage there. . p.s also saw that black scooby out at sighthill audi on my way to play footy today , had pink sti mudflaps me thinks
