Just after buying the WRX STi two years ago, having sat in the dealers for a few weeks, it squealed on cold start. Soon after, battery completely failed, connected up part charged 10 year old OEM Subaru battery from previous Impreza and no more squeal. No problem since then immediately fitting a premium Bosch battery. PS. Old battery, now 12 years old still charges and maintains charge for months. Is this a record?

Different and certainly eye catching. Looks good against the white bodywork.

Had a 55 WRX saloon for 10 years, but didn't experience your problem...

Next generation can ask Alexa I guess...

Just noticed that I typed is instead of us. These keypads are not designed for the male of the species! Over and oot.. mhgdd3sckl!,..@$ Goodnighy

Same with Samsung. Not that long ago, went to dinner at friends and they gave is a bottle of wine to try. Very nice too, but my text a few days later thanked them for giving us the wind and commenting on the fruitiness. Ooooops!

If anyone wants to sell, I'll happily pay £2.00!?

I left school 54 years ago, but can still spell!!!

Quite right. Life's too serious...

Well, I was totally unaware of that issue. Will study my small change in future!

Wasn't going to mention ABCDEFG...

What about I?

Fitted KYB gas struts all round on our previous Prodrive spring kit equipped WRX PPP. No more knocking, improved roadholding. Thoroughly recommended.

You only live once...

Well, the Eibachs were at last fitted on Friday at Subaru Cambridge- charged 3.5 hours @ £96.00 per hour, plus HMRC 20% VAT take - any thoughts on that? Didn't think it would take that long, but it was the first spring change they had performed on a 2015 STi. 20 odd mile drive back home down the bumpy, pothole riddled B1368 did seem to offer a slightly more complient ride, or was it my perceived justification for the bill paid? But definitely memories of the Prodrive spring kits on our previous WRX and STi. Added to the expense was lunch in Cambridge and Mrs Mac's purchases at Levi shop, Next, M&S, TK Max et all. Putting it into perspective, the springs came cheap... Next expense is Sport Maxxes all round and four wheel alignment. Happy days! L.

Read in the press today that used prices of petrol cars has increased by up to 11.7%, whereas diesels have fallen by an average of 5%. But will this have any effect on our thirsty flat fours?

Welcome! As an owner of a 2015 WRX STi, you will be making a good decision! Keep in touch for any thoughts and advice.

Welcome - is it a widetrack STi?

Hi Steve, Welcome to the club. Whereabouts in East Anglia are you?

Must admit, I preferred the genuine Subaru dash top pod and triple gauges as fitted in my previous widetrack STi. Very uncommon (and expensive). Never seen on any other Impreza.

Will be on Ross on Wye for a couple of days, but not until July! Glad you will not be losing out on the repair costs.

Very pleased with the H&S straight though centre section - five previous Imprezas have had their products fitted, but must admit that a wide track STi with straight through and Afterburner back box was too much for popularity in our village and probably most of east Herts! The current STi with OEM back boxes retained gives a purposeful likeable sound, without major problems in the cabin. Unlike 2.0 flat four rumble, but tick-over lovely! Are you miles away from SG11? Sorry to hear of your problems - sadly when caught, uninsured drivers get off lightly...

Not the same day then, as I recall the RB5 was not introduced until 1999. Most embarrassing part of our day was when Richard came out to the car park to see our heavily Prodrive breathed on RB5 (385bhp) and within a short space of time pointed out that both front P-Zeros were almost devoid of inside tread. I guess that Prodrive had adjusted to excess negative camber - tyres had only done 8,000. Being told by and Essex traffic cop in the car park of Essex Police HQ was not good. However, didn't get nicked and he managed to sell us a full set of EBC grooved and cross drilled disks and pads!!

Well, what a small world - my wife and I were there too in the RB5! If it was the same day, do you recall my wife attempting the skidpan in the ex Sierra patrol car with the welded up diff - hilarious! Kept in touch with Richard for many years who serviced and did many mods on our various Imprezas - especially upgraded brakes. His standard of workmanship was superb, but as you probably know, he was also a qualified motor engineer. Sadly lost touch since the sad loss of his wife.

Of course! Thanks for the vote of confidence...
