Thanks for the friendly replies folks.
here is a quick resume of the dealership.
Eden Subaru. Part of The Walker Partnership.(Fife Mitsubishi)
Attitude toward modifications The family who own the dealership are total petrolheads with a TVR Tamora, FQ300MR, S320 Merc and a few others as their own transport. I have worked for a few dealerships and never have I had the pleasure of working for people who are actually interested in their products or their customers. These guys are different. anyone who is involved in "the Dark side" should be fairly familiar with them.
having worked for Subaru before I know of the attitudes that can manifest from dealers
Imports and mods being the all too common reason for the "can't help you" phrase
If we can help then we will.
I don't want to go into the subject of "can you service an import?" on the forum but if anyone wants to ask me offline then give me a call at the dealership.
Technicians- We have 2 fully trained subaru technicians and 1 apprentice at the moment.
One of our Technicians being the head mechanic for a well known Subaru rally team. The guy knows his stuff and unlike some dealerships he also has the knowledge of how to get the best out of a scoob safely. or he can tell you how to get 300bhp (ok ok everyone has 300 ponies nowadays but WRC limits to 300bhp) and 500lbft torque. I have been in the car in question and believe me, I had to change me pants
Please feel free to drop in for a cuppa (I'll even make it meself)
Regards all
Russ

Derek I will be sending an email and some background to Phil very soon. Thanks for the support.
