Ian:

Give Graham Darragh of GDA Sports Car Imports in Crowborough a ring on 01892 664212, or 0385 110650 (mobile) or email on gda@globalnet.co.uk and see if he'd do it.

I'm going to use him for all my servicing when I get the WRX Wagon, and I've spoken to someone else who has used him and says he is very good. He's a nice chap to boot.

If he's not any good then try giving Lockyear Cars in Horsham a call, they might do it. Their number is 01403 891700, or email info@lockyear-cars.co.uk.

hope this is of use

Hmmm wouldn't use Lockyears I'm afraid. I found their service manager to be utterly disinterested and they didn't bother to reply when I complained about the complete lack of service I received in respect of a leaking rear diff. I actually bought my car there and serviced it with them 2 or 3 times but not any more.

'Course, ScoobySport aren't a million miles from Kent...

I dunno but I wouldn't imagine Pete'd care - it's still money for the labour after all.

Not so worried about the fitting cost's i just thought you petrol heads knew all about nuts and bolts.

Me, im a humble office worker the mere sight of a spanner and id get a blister.

I don't want to be the guy who kicks off the great AP/BREMBO fight again!

Ian,
I'm with you on the humble office worker bit. Girlfriend got me to fit rear seatbelts to her honda civic. Talk about petrified. I told her not to allow anyone in the back until she'd taken it to Honda to check that I'd fitted the things correctly (and safely!). Suffice to say she did NOT do this as she trusted my workmanship!

I would honestly ask Pete. He is a very decent bloke and will not be offended. He understands that it is anyones right to choose other peoples products.

Given his knowledge there are few people I would trust more to work on my impreza.

All youhave to do is ask.

They've (Scooby sport) done all the other work/mods on the car since i got it a year back (STI V5), so i suppose theres no real reason why i should let anyone else muck around with it.

Thxs everyone for your suggestions and help.(my first go on the B.B)
