Hi all, potentially I pick up my first Scoob tomorrow lunch time.
MY99 `v` reg in DGM. I say potentially because it rests on my mechanics report.
I checked the car out at the weekend for panel alignment and checked the shock mounts and floor pan for creasing and rippling and it seemed ok.
is there anything that we should be looking for specifically, its friday night at 9.30 so im not expecting much action, but if you can help me that would be great, the only mod is that its got 17" prodrive alloys and p-zeros, other than that its standard.
60k miles, Fsh, from a car dealer who allegedly drives one himself.

Andy.

a good point of reference is the Subaru Impreza Drivers Club, it has a frequent probems section, i have created a link for you below. Have a look and good luck

just read your email on optimax. Make sure you put your foot down in fourth and fifth and listen for the tell tale sound of detting (pinging noise) Ask the guy what fuel hes been running it on! That will give you an idea of whether or not hes bothered about protecting the engine.

 

its from a forecourt, so unless I get the vehicle home and research via the logbook ill never know what juice she`s been drinking. cheers for the tip tho, more the merrier...

Andy.....

 

tis ten to twelve, time for me to go nu-nights...
thanks for the advice, will check in tomorrow before setting off, in case theres any more posts.
been a great help guys n gals.

Andy....

Andy

 

to everyone above, thank you thank you thank you all very ,much.
car was a diamond the mechanic said, so i only went an got it.
aaahhhhh, my first scooby, and believe me its love, see general for the nitty gritty but had to pop back in and thank you all for the advice.
one point tho, had to get home on SUL, then had to fill up on SUL but want to make the switch to Optimax, just fill up as normal, or carry out some comp[lex task???

Andy....

 

If its UK then you can run it on 95 if you like. Optimax is better, but neither will harm it. It will take the ECUa while to adjust to using optimax, or you can just reset the ECU.

Some people on here get really hung up on "oh ****, im low on fuel and I can't find any optimax" like it was the end of the world Logging on from their onboard laptops

Dont believe the hype
