MY 2011 Saloon / Hatch, show yourselves! Pics & chat
Looks good Don. 
On another note, just had my renewal in for my 320r - £461.
Quick go on confused.com - £388, with, the same company - Admiral.
Could get it a bit cheaper with esure £315, but only if I remove the 320r map
How does this compare to you guys with / without 320r?

look on the fuel door you'll see a small 90 deg bent piece of spring steel in the middle of the hinge, support the fuel door and bend it towards the cars body a little
I thought I read somewhere that someone on here and had an issue with a flat battery? Washed my Christmas Eve and tucked her up nicely over Christmas, came to start this morning and all I got was rapid machine gun fire, that's not even two weeks! Had to grab a lift to work so need to go home tonight and charge in the dark stormy weather! Would have thought brand new cars shouldn't do this for less than two weeks?

With the keyless entry/proximity system I'd expect there to be more of a draw on the battery but not to kill off a fully charged one in a fortnight.
Could have a dud battery??.
On a fully charged battery and in good shape should last 2 weeks without much issue, but will start to run down after that due to the tracker and alarm running but that current draw shouldnt be any more than 0.5amp anymore than that you've got problems.
where do you keep the Fobs when the cars not in use ? please dont tell me there around 10-15ft of the car?
Whats your typical daily drive how many miles & how many stop starts.

Hi Rob. No keys are in the house some 25m from the car. Daily drive is 30mins to work and then back in the evening. One stop to drop my eldest off and have to turn the car on and off so I can open the boot. I texted the car at the end of November and the response was that the battery was at 13.4 volts which is full isn't it? I had drove the car out of the garage to wash it and put it back in which doesn't help but thought wouldn't be an issue and I did think I had turned the alarm off as it was locked in the garage. Phoned my local dealer who told me I have to always drive with something major switched on like the side lights so it tells the management system to charge the battery during driving? They also told me to trickle charge the battery to full and then call Subaru Assistance out to measure the battery to see if it is a duff one. Useful advice?

If I'm leaving my car longer than a week I quickly clip one of these on the battery...

best £25 you'll spend and you'll have no battery issue either.
I too can't go longer than about 2weeks and the battery is too weak to start up.

maybe not, but now with the Hatch this is a comman issue, you're not the only one who's noticed the quick discharge of the battery.... but when you think what's constantly 'on' when the car is off, I'm not suprised we see the battery not lasting too long.

I left my inside lights on those 2 spotlights ad it was flat as a fart in the morning.

She still ribs me now
