No! is that on your car Mark?

 

Mark,

Arron metioned he spotted a crack when I saw him today, didn't realise it was that bad. Hope you manage to get it sorted.

 

yes it is!!!

gonna send pics to dealers 2moro, see what they say

this aint a happended from someting i down, like caught it on a kerb, cos i stay a mile from em!!!

 

Is that the wing liner, not the inner wing?

Have you had mud flaps fitted there???

 

Very tidy!

 

yes its the arch liner, which is very thick plastic!!!


thats the front end of the car, the flaps fit on the back side

 

That's a softish plastic and pretty flexible! I would imagine if any impact had happened perhaps something stuck on your tyre you would of noticed the 'bang'. Why would it break there though?

 

thats what I'm so confused about!!!

how did it happen, i could understand if it were something like I had dropped off a kerb, ripping it back or something like that but I dont do that in the scoob as its low front end and for something like that to have happened I would have certainly heard it happen!!!

It fukin annoying tho as the entire time I'm driving is banging and rattling!!!! not to mention rubbing on the tyre!!!

 

Yep, a cat done it to my front bumper, split it clean. So did its head mind you when I hit it at about 70 (it was on a dual carriage way)

 

Only an idea but is the splitter attached to that at all, maybe the liner had a small crack to start with and the downforce of the splitter has pulled it apart?

My splitter it attached to the bottom of the bumper but the same mounting points also hold the arch liner IIRC.

 

all attached together, yes Aaron

 

Finally got the DVLA paperwork, spoken to Slip End and should be collecting on Sat

 

wooo hooo

i got me arch liners turn up today!!!

job for 2moro i hope its warm and dry, may even treat it to a wash , first since 18th Sept!!!

 

 

Warranty Mark, were both damaged and did you find a cause?

 

Can any body tell me how to remove this vent I want to stop it from squeeking its driving me mad

 

Nice one, I also hope it's dry as once car is picked up, first job - gotta fit Rally Armors

Spotted you tonight just coming onto the A13 at Lodge Ave, was on the bike.

 

nice 1 gbnut, u picking it up and coming home then?

do you work round there then? had some mad bikers racing past the lodge ave, was one you lol

 

you need to yank it out (carefully) lol

 

I work in the west end. Missus works next to upney station, so you may see her now and then.

Got the car today, very pleased, sitting on the drive as on holiday for the next week so just got the bike (we tow it behind our motorhome)

Did you get the liners fitted?

 

no rain rain rain

 

well I am FOOKING PISSED OFF BIG TIME

1: the part sent is wrong!!!






2: I found the cause of the cracking liner.

note the new one has a mounting hole bottom left of pic, this should mount to the underneat of the bumper


as you can see from this pic, a big slice is missing!!!


Some tosser at Subaru (when they had my car in for the warranty work) has obviously cut the liner to allow access to the tow eye cover

I know it wasnt the recovery vehicle man as the car had to be reversed onto the low loader both times!!!!





quite a lot missing, its a clean cut so deffo done on purpose, the result is that 2 fixing points are missing. therefore the air has forced the liner to go back on its self and stress, the result the crack that has happened.


so 2 hours waste of time, had to re-fit the broken one but gave me a chance to repair it and secure it well now!!!




and the ****ing clips that are used to hold it in place, what a load of ****



thankfully I had plenty of spare from previous Subaru's

 

That's crap Mark... have you had a word with the Subaru garage that's done the initial damage?

 

^^ yeah i would be talking to the garage that done the warranty work .

No offence but i did lol at the quality repair on this one
Not that the situation is remotely funny!

 

Looks like Frankenscoob.

 

Ok, has anyone noticed that the stalks on their steering column sit at different heights, noticed this morning that the right stalk it at more of an angle than the left stalk and sits higher up?

 

You have to much time on your hands Arron

I'll look in a bit

 

No - but I haven't paid that much attention to them, however I suspect I will later now you're drawn my attention to it


OK - my turn.

Does anyone else think the heater temperature is a bit weird?

 

ha YES

nothing then everything

 

You didn't leave the window wipers on by any chance
