08/09 Hatches, Stand up and show yourselves!!!
Anyone had issues with there wheel bearings on the hatch ??
Reason being just had the car in for a service and had the guy check over the car due to front end road noise,diagnosed as a worn bearing but he cannot put his finger on which side during road test
Suppose my main worry is how much is this gonna sting me for

Have you got the Std Dunlop tyres on?
Mine had 2 sets of front wheel bearings before the dealer tried different wheels tyres ... which made the noise go away!
The dunlops are very noisy!

Have to agree mate I have always loved the WR blue but fancied a change this time and the black stood out for me but if I hadn't had found this one a blue one would of been on the cards lol
Finally got a replacement for the hatch Sti last week... Lotus Elise supercharged 
completely different to a hatch I know but I can just about manage with 2 seats 90% of the time
Anyone interested in a set of gold enkei wheels with as new winter tyres?
Give me a shout

Cleared and all fine since.
P0024
Possible causes
- Dirty engine oil
- Low engine oil level
- Timing belt misalign
- Faulty AVCS solenoid
Would clear the cel and see if it comes back
Would consider the easiest first - change the oil.

Where ?
Open the glove box, Unclip the little damper on the lh side and then pull the glovebox up so it unclips off the rear body, then look at the heater box you will see a long oblong piece which says up on it and some arrows, this is the pollen filter just pull it out and replace then reassemble

So all the leaves that were removed are from under the bonnet somewhere ?

They look good but when you see how you fit them, you have to have a wire cord to stop your boot opening all the way, or it'll press the spoiler into your roof.
