The Don

Alun, You will probably get better information by signing upto http://www.type-ra.com/ A wealth of knowledge to be had.

The Sigma M30 alarm which was fitted by Subaru on arrival in the UK has a number of relays on its PCB, one of which is used to operate the indicators (LHS/RHS separate outputs with zener diodes). As you've found these can wear and after a number of years begin to stick (Indicators on). The unit is mounted up next to the steering column (or behind glovebox) in a steel box (with security screws) which if tapped can release a sticking relay. The early units were also prone to having their radio signal overwhelmed by Tetra radio masts leaving the vehicle disabled until moved out of range. This was overcome by internal shielding fitted to replacement units originally covered by a recall. "Cures" include replacing the PCB mounted relay with new, cutting the sticking indicator output, replacing the Alarm ECU with new (if still available (SACC3465). just did a google search and found this http://www.scoobynet.com/security-16/577258-sigma-m30-indicator-stuck-on.html The Hazard (indicator) wiring is as follows Alarm ECU Main plug Terminal 15 - Hazard Supply Feed (red/yellow) Terminal 16 - Hazard Output 1 (Yellow) Terminal 17 - Hazard Output 2 (Yellow) If you want to remove completely this link may help http://www.scoobynet.com/security-16/1039613-bugeye-sigma-removal-help.html You wil notice in post #4 the picture shows the two yellow Hazard output wires. Loom colours should be RH indicators- LightGreen/Black LH indicators - Black/green

Comparing the manual to auto gear ratios it looks pretty comparable

Rims look like Rota GRA's http://www.rotashop.co.uk/rota-gra_c33741_32461.htm

Prodrive PFF7 (by speedline) Some info here http://impreza.co/prodrive-pff7-speedline-alloy-wheels/ MY03 wrx wagon will be 5x100 pcd

Hmm tickets - Hadleigh coming? Just purchased mine

Extra Gear is better..............

Was just compiling my reply as you posted Hard copy workshop manuals, other than Subaru's own, are few and far between and AFAIK were only ever produced by US Haynes (and one other company - Chilton?) for a few models. Yes, Subaru Hard copies were available as I have the MY97 version which ran to 6 volumes and was very expensive. I'm not certain whether a complete MY98 manual was produced or "supplements" were used to add the MY98/99/00 change information. From 2000 the manuals were produced on CDs in pdf format, hence most are available on the web. Even then, the intermediate years between major changes were initially supplement CD's. From about 2006 onwards the CD's became interactive and were produced in both HTML and pdf format which could linked into Subaru's SSM software
