I've had an email back... not much help to me though.

Received my Eibach Pro-Kit springs to day, thinking of having them installed this weekend if nothing else comes up.
Though I am not sure if also I should order a set of wheel spacers for my BBS rims with offset 55 first?

I can't fault Octotelematics in my case - I once had a problem and they sent an engineer to my work to replace the unit

Have you tried checking your car's status lately???
There is a problem with the SMS text service caused by a network problem, probably in Italy. No text notifications being sent out/received.

Mines not responding either - have you contacted them and what are they doing about it ?Given the unit is conditional on my insurance if we know it's not working that's going to be an issue ....Originally Posted by Don Clark

right guys, I have had an email back they have stated that the standard overlays as fitted to robs hatch on a previous page are $42 per set.Originally Posted by carlpcross
me too please stevie
here is a link that contains images of all of the ones they supply (there are 2 pages) obviously from that point cost will vary but on most they are stated when you click the link to the picture you like.
http://s2.photobucket.com/albums/y42...TI%20Overlays/
please have a look and pop a post up or pm me the IMG code (or two) to make sure you get the right one you are after if you require one that is different to the standard overlay (if any of that makes sense)
they have quoted $6 to ship them as a single so that may go up slightly but it will be spilt across how many are ordered. also there will no doubt be import taxes and duties which i have no idea what they will cost but i am willing to front it when they arrive and then again split that between everyone who has ordered as set (cant be fairer than that)
was thinking of waiting till the end of the month before ordering to give any others time to get in on it and may be popping this up in a group buy section
please let me know
cheers

Have you read as far back as post 7595 ??
It still works as a tracker but does not currently inform you by SMS text.
OctoTelematics can tell you where the car is if you ask. As stated they are "looking into it".

No problems at all mate, No rubbing or catching.manages to lift a wheel's when cornering hard. I initially dropped it around 50mm then raised it 10mm for the bigger wheels

Rob,
how much brake fluid does the system take in total, and what would you recommend on using
Cheers

octo-telemetrics!!
so i have been texting sat.status over the past month to see if the system was still working - nothing back!!!
emailed them about problem
- nothing back
driving home last night in the discovery I get 2 alarm texts but saying no address available!!!
- great service!!
So i call chelmsford to see if the hatch is ok and to let them know the alarm went of - they said the car has its engine out, on the ramps and has been since last week, with no battery hooked up!!!
so I get a delayed repsonse of a week of the alarm going off and no address of its location anyway!!!
wonder what I'm paying my money for

only had its service 2 months ago and i topped up a litre the week before

Mark, are you still tinking of going for the RS?
Mines going back to Slip end now to find out why the sill on the passenger side is retaining water. I drained about 3 litres out of it yesterday.
Whilst I'm at it, I'm due a 48k service which could be a downer. My local service centre is no longer a subaru service centre just quoted 512!

I'M GETTING RATHER DISTURBING TRADE IN PRICES FROM DEALERS, £13K AS THEY JUST GO BY A GUIDE BOOK THAT DOESNT LIST ALL THE EXTRAS AND PPP etc...
MIGHT JUST PUT IT UP FOR 17K AND BE DONE WITH IT
I'M JUST HOPING THAT THEY WILL FIND THE OIL LOSS UNDER WARRANTY AND NOT TRY TO FOB ME OFF WITH A POOR EXCUSE - I HAVE MY FINGER READY TO CALL SUBARU UK MD AND MIKE WOOD AS THEY ASKED ME TO KEEP THEM IN THE LOOP
