  1. The button is dodgy on my key and I was wondering where I could get a new one coded. Is there anyone locally to Edinburgh/Livingston etc? Not sure if I can buy a blank on ebay and get ot coded by some company or do I just need to take the hit at Subaru! It's not even a turbo so I grudge paying silly money lol. It's an MY03 newage wagon. Ta for any help
  2. Cheers Arch. Apparently Subaru had so many probs with the original bearings they approved a new modified version and the mechanic said something about some tapering and pre-load and the settings we found for the car in Autodata was 186 which seemed way too tight. He has put it to 126 for now and the drag feels the same as the other wheel. He doesn't want to tighten anymore tho until we get a definite number... Thanks for the quick answer tho m8!
  3. Hi guys, I have a newage GX (AWD) now ( I used to own Irish Al's old newage WRX) and not been posting for a while but I need help. I am supposed to be leaving with the family for a holiday in the Lake District tomorrow and my mechanic has left everything till the VERY last minute but he has finally done the rear wheel bearing that will allow us to pass the re-test for the MOT (runs out while we are away...). He has just left but asked me to find out what torque settings to use on the rear wheel bearing as he says it needs to be the correct amount or it could seize. Any info would be great as I am literally ready to phone and hire a car in the morning in case we don't get it done in time for the re-test. Ta!
  4. Same guy owns the one at Howden, opposite St John's. They have just finished that one too. I think they were putting in more diesel pumps and newer pumps too. Changing times!
  5. Godspeed discs are great for the money and the Kevlar pads were fine too but if you can stretch a bit further you can't go wrong with Ferrodo DS2500 pads - had them on my FTO and then my scoob and love them.
  6. There is an IP Board app for iphone and it means any site that uses IP Board can be viewed much easier http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/ip-board-communities/id372597645?mt=8
  7. That episode never aired - it was just the crew messing about
  8. There are two sensors - one is v. expensive and the other is not too bad! I got mine from Japparts and it was a genuine Subaru part of a car for breaking. Worth a look if you want to save a bit of cash. The ones from the main dealer can be expensive!
  9. iirc error codes will reset after 3 starts of the engine (not in quick succession tho) - mine does it when coolant is low (got a wee leak) and it goes off after a few drives then comes back on again until I top it up.
  10. lol - awesome - some of the Burnistoun stuff was great...it's quite like Absolutely. The Sarcasm one is funny: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2Mc7bTG3-c
  11. Maybe the police can request the IP address the guy is posting from on YouTube? Or any site he posted on recently may link him to a specific IP range and ISP/region of Spain?
  12. \ I think that tells you that the joke has been done a few times and nobody can come up with anything else ;p Can't believe you told her you wanted pics of her to put on an internet forum...that sounds so wrong lol She seems game tho - like many Aussie women None of the inhibitions us UK people have!
