Yes have heard similar tales before. I replaced all of the small bore solenoid vacuum pipes on mine and had nothing but niggly problems, so put back the OEM pipes and all became good again. So,basically, would recommend keeping the originals everytime. Although, I've had the intercooler y pipe in silicone for some years, with no problems.

Yes, it's on a dealers forecourt so makes sense it is uninsured. Perhaps I should ring the supplying dealership? -just don't want to lose it on a minor technicality, as it looks immaculate.

Hi Dipsy, it's a wagon. Hi Scooby Dooney Doo, the reg is: YR05 PPO Incidentally, what is the MID database? Thanks Steve

Well this one has 17 characters in the VIN, but with a Jap prefix, so is it UK? Is there anywhere that can catagorically say one way or the other? Have emailed the original supplier, but have not been answered. Thanks Steve

Appreciate that Dipsy, thanks for looking, Steve

Hello All, I'm looking to replace my Classic with a 2005 wagon. I have seen one I fancy which was originally sold/registered by a UK Subaru franchaise, but the VIN/chassis no. starts with 'JF1GG' which makes it a Jap model, so I am confused. Do any of you know if all UK models have a Jap VIN? Thanks again for your help in advance. Steve

Cheers Markie, he's done the job and is a top man. Can recommend him big time. Thanks again for info. Steve

Thanks for that Markie, I'm talking to him now. Cheers Steve

Hi All, don't know if this is the right forum for this (sorry if its not) but need to know how much a rear diff weighs (and its measurements if possible) Have just bought one online and need to get it shipped but the courier needs all of these figures and measurements. The seller is not being too helpful! Many thanks Steve

Could always get another girlfriend. But the car............ ??

Big thanks to Dean. Sorted out my car, plus another unexpected problem (which I know was very inconvenient for him) with a smile (almost!) Appreciate you going 'the extra mile'. Can highly recommend, very professional, helpful and a good bloke too! Cheers Steve

Thanks all, appreciate your help. Steve
