Hi, and welcome to the forum.
"Type UK" was used to distinguish it from grey imports brought into the UK via Cyprus, Malta and Mainland Europe by some of the big Car Supermarkets at that time.
The mention of a flare would suggest you possibly mean a Japanese Domestic Model (JDM) import ??
If so the electrics in a UK car are much simpler, as since 2003 the JDM Impreza has run ever increasing amounts of canbus type systems, the main one being the Body Integrated Unit which controls various "body" electrical functions.
In this repect the JDM cars are more similar to the USDM cars.
Also the JDM models remain as 2.0L engined models with twin scroll turbos whereas the UK/European/Australian models moved to 2.5L to keep compliant with Euro emissions regs.
Not sure what you mean by "double rear spoiler" unless of course you are referring to the rear window vane, which is standard on the Model Year (MY)06/07 Impreza STI.
i'm assuming a 56 Plate will be a MY07 ( 10th character of VIN will be a "7" ) if it's a 6 then MY06.
The standard OEM figures are
Power: 280PS (276 BHP) Torque: 392 Nm
Should it be fitted with the Prodrive Performance Pack (PPP) these figures rise to
Power: 320 PS (316 BHP) torque: 450 Nm
PPP details attached.

As far as I can tell a UK MY99 Turbo 2000 is fitted with the following rear drive shafts which are handed and are fitted to models below.
The last of the rear driveshafts fitted to the UK MY00 Turbo 2000 - there are 3 different part numbers - being RH:28021FE140/141; LH: 28021FE150/151, were also fitted to the Newage WRX WAGON upto and including MY04
Just to confirm, a UK MY99 will have an "X" as the 10th character of the VIN and a "G" as the 4th character of the Applied model code. MY00 will have a "Y" and "H" respectively
-
Usually caused by one of the leveling sensors having a broken connector pin in the wiring plug, due to ingress of water or failed operating linkage due to seizure.
Sensors located on LH front and rear lower suspension arms.

Is the Battery you "changed" (or should that be charged ??) 2 weeks ago still upto the job?? Was it fully charged??

Hi Gill and welcome.
You'll need to elaborate a bit as all Subarus are AWD, apart from the BRZ. Is the vehicle an Impreza, Levorg, Forester, XV, Legacy Outback or WRX STI ??
Also 66 plate means very little with regard to actual model year. The "applied model" code from the VIN plate is much more informative.
The VIN plate is now mounted at the base of the passenger side B pillar between the doors.
An example VIN with the Applied model code circled in RED
Most of the modern mirrors have replaceable parts so if it is still working electrically, you may be able to just replace the skull cap and indicator assembly and lower trim piece?

What's rare about it??
Yes CR1620 is the key battery size
-
If you open the door with the key, you should still be able to turn the alarm off using the fob.
If you don't know the PIN but have a working key fob that unlocks/locks the doors then you can reset the alarm PIN on the alarm keypad which is situated in the coin tray by the drivers right knee.
A quote from the Sigma Sam thread
- A keypad is fitted to ALL models with the UK standard fit alarm system (from 99 MY) as an emergency override, in the event of loss, damage, flat radio key battery etc. (The keypad also allows the driver to access a number of features and is a complete programming tool for the dealers) and so pushing/recovery of vehicle’s should not be necessary provided you know your override PIN and ow to operate the keypad.
- The keypad can NOT be affected by "Radio Lock-Out", as it is hard wired into the system and does not rely on a radio transmission.
Keypad Use:
- The keypad allows only THREE PIN attempts and then will "Lock Up" if an incorrect number is entered a third time. This is a secuity feature to prevent random attempts at steeling the vehicle, however, it is also an inconvenience if you are suffering "Radio Lock Out" and enter your PIN incorrectly.
- The PIN number should not be entered too quickly or too slowly - when a digit has been pressed the small LED built into the keypad will illuminate briefly as confirmation and only then should the next digit be entered.
If an incorrect digit is pressed or the delay between entering digits exceeds10 seconds, then the LED above the keypad will flash rapidly and the PIN attempt should be aborted and started again after 30 seconds.
Due to the small size of the keypad some users may find a rubber tipped pencil easier to use. DO NOT use the sharp tip of a ball point pen etc, or press excessively hard on the keypad as this will only damage the membrane and cause a digit to remain pressed, causing a continual incorrect PIN.
Summary:
My advice is to read the alarm system's instruction manual and practice entering the PIN before you need it. If you do not know your PIN, or bought the car second hand (in which case the PIN may have been changed by the previous owner) you can change the PIN to one of your own choosing, using the keypad, provided that you have a working Radio Key.
Changing your PIN:
- Arm and then Disarm the system using a working Radio Key.
- Within 30 seconds of disarming, type into the keypad: *17856*92*wxyz*wxyz# (where wxyz is your new PIN code)
- Arm the system with the Radio Key
- You should now be able to disarm the system using the new PIN code
Ensure your keypad is operational before you need it on a dark night!

Upgrade or just replace due to likely hood of wear??
Standard 5MT "lever - clutch release" 30531AA180
Any dealers open near you?? If not available from Japan/UAE

Assuming it's UK/European rather than JDM
-
You can remove the gear shift surround/gaiter fairly easily to view the shift mechanism.(items 3 &4 below)
Once the surround is removed the UK impreza doesn't appear to have an inner rubber gaiter so the mechanism should be visible for inspection.

Classics came with un-equal length headers as did the bugeyes.
Equal length headers with twin scroll turbo didn't arrive until the blobeye
G10 models (classics)
G11 models (Newage)
Revisions A and B - Bugeye
Revisions C and D - Blobeye
Revision E and specials

Maybe the gear linkage bushes need tightening up or replacing??
-
Hi, unfortunately JDM option codes were not readily available prior to the Newage models and are not listed in the parts data base.
However Type-RA.com maybe able to help if you join as a V-limited member.

Subaru upgraded the car's spec and Prodrive provided the power increase.(remap plus exhaust parts)
Prodrive Performance Pack Impreza WRX STI 2.5 2008MY
The Impreza WRX STI Performance Package boosts peak power to 330 PS @ 5400 rpm (previously 300 PS @ 6000 rpm) and 470 Nm of torque @ 3400 rpm (previously 407 Nm @ 4000 rpm). The improved performance is produced through a carefully developed combination of matched exhaust and engine management modifications.
(330PS equates to 325.5bhp, 470Nm equates to 347lbft )

In theory.
An information page as AF no longer supplies turbos

The compressor inducer is approx the inlet internal diameter of the housing.
If you are replacing it because it's smoking, why not get it rebuilt?? (even possible with MHI turbos to do it yourself if so inclined).

The higher the number the bigger the compressor wheel so the laggier it will become unless other supporting mods/upgrades are done to utilise the possible extra power available

Welcome to the forum.
Sounds as if you have a problem with the coolant temp sensor - have you tested it/replaced it?
The temp sensor is a double sensor with three pins, two for the ecu the other and earth through the body for the temp guage so the ecu side could have failed.
Is it a single or double cam engine?? If it came from a Y reg Impreza it "should be" an EJ201 DOHC where the idle air control valve is electromechanical and operated by the ECU depending upon the coolant temp.
What is the part number or designation for the ECU? (22611AF630/31/32/33/34 or T9)
if it's from a Forester it could be an EJ202 SOHC with ECU 22611AG320/21/22 or Z9 - same electromechanical idle air control valve
