No smoke, nothing done to it since the remap in the middle of last year.
Will the ECU reset like the classics, disconnect the battery and leave it for a while or is it a dealer reset job.
Paul.
Dealer reset only the battery trick doesnt work on the hatch. the only other way is if you have a code reader, just unplug the maf while running to induce a code then reset with the code reader that fools them into a reset, Just dont expect the throttle to be very responsive for a good few miles

I have done brakes on my older card just never on a set of brembos

Cheers
easy as anything mate, 17mm socket and 1/2 drive ratchet and go for it. they should come off with ease with the car not being that old. the earlier blobs and hawks were a complete C*nt some days. just remember to put pleanty of anti-seize copper grease on the bolts when you put them back in so further down the line they will come out when ever you need to change the discs.

off to Burrell's Subaru of Doncaster tomorrow, to pick up the 'new' wheel arch liner AND to get the fault on my radio/DVD/sat-nav unit checked out before I'm out of warranty.
Fingers crossed for me please.

Been reading my 2yr Subaru extended warranty last night, looks like it covers the radio anyway... but don't want to leave it too long to sort out.


BTW... got insurance quotes on the 330s for this year....
LV £503 FC £300+£300 xs
Gary @ KM £520 FC £350xs mods covered like4like - the 19s and the ProR filter.

Apart from the jerking, sounds like the mapping small issue I had ( and a few others ) on transition / light throttle / no boost around 3000 rpm ... map tweeked it out.

AEM / MAF scaling issue and depending on how well car breathed made it worse on some cars.

Had it checked. They took it out etc. To be on the safe side they're going to get another for me and send mine back to Kenwood as there's a fault. Looks like i.ll be getting a replacement unit. Burrells been very goodsorting it all out for me.

Just fitted my new rear spats from HT Autos to go along with the rest of my bottom line kit, as usual great quality from HT and match up nicely with their sides and the lip I sourced from the states.

It was a toss up between these and a R205 rear under spoiler, but think these go better with the rest of my car, the R205 was a little too fussy.

As usual I think that is it now for the exterior apart from some new longer steel wheel nuts, maybe in red, was looking at a spec C roof vent but I'm not paying £500 and then cutting a hole in my roof!!

Pictures honestly do not do them justice but here are a few anyways, hope you like!

burrells rang subau tech dept to find out. Were told they didn't know of any issues!
As mine had turned off three times in an hour they weren't happy
leaving me with it. The forms been filled out at burrells to log it on the system that my units has a fault.

Think it might be worth you ringing your dealer. You could mention you know of another with the same problem. I mentioned i.d read on SN you too had the same problem with the head unit.
