only had my scooby for a month and the clutch has gone, peed off, not really done many quick standing starts in it either, so its in the garage with it and now i'm back driving my 310 bhp volvo T5 that i have well and truly thrashed the nuts off ever since i bought it 20,000 miles ago, and has never put a foot wrong, so much for my new toy, i thought that these were supposed to be strong motors its a 95 jdm wrx long live the volvo

 

.......how many quick starts did the previous owner do before selling it I wonder .

Clutch is a wear item! It would be like me saying that scoobies are unreliable because the brake pads need replacing.

previous owner might have done a few more drag starts than you on the same clutch mate.


consumable item im affraid, you cant own a high performance 4wd car and not expect something to give when laying down 260 bhp in the last 11 years

 

Not many quick standing starts? What do you want from a used 12 year old multi owner car?

I've had one clutch replaced in one of my Imprezas (93 wrx) in over 9 years.

 

sell the subaru and keep the poxy volvo then you will be complaining that it uses too much petrol next

 

I agree! My tyres are starting to wear out. Bl*ody jap cr%p!

 

lomfa

 

LOL Chris.

 

front tyres on the t5 only last me 4000 miles

 

Funny, my Dad used to get 20,000miles out of a set of tyres on his old t5??
Have you got a slighly over-weight, right foot?

 

Cheers for the support fellow scooby owner, i'm sure you would be rolling round in uncontrollable fits of laughter if you paid out all of your savings on an impreza only to to 500 odd miles to now have an approx. £400 bill thats just so funny, i wont sell any of my cars T5 for motorways (much quicker in a straight line than my scooby)and the odd trip to spain and france, and scooby for hooning around in at the weekends( when its fixed that is

 

I have a problem with my left finger it keeps on reaching for the traction control button when i approach roundabouts, wouldn't be a problem in most places but i live in milton keynes better see the doc eh?

 

is this ur t5

im not offering support
its always a good idea to see that the clutch is in good order when buying the car in the first place, funny but ive had 4 scoobies and the clutch aint gone in any of them
and if it had i certainly wouldnt be complaining that i need a new one.
if your going to buy a car like a subaru then you should be prepared to be shelling out now and again

 

no this is my baby

 

ooooooooooooow thats nice

 

very 'pimping'!

 

Oh hello happy thanks for the advice nothing wrong with the clutch when i bought it and i'm the first english owner of the car since it was imported car was mint , maybe its just the way i drive eh?

 

Count yourself lucky. I bought a pretty tidy wagon a year and a half ago and since then I've rebuilt the engine and gearbox, replaced virtually every single electrical sensor, stuck four new tyres on it, new discs and pads all round, completely replaced the suspension etc etc.

I've EASILY spent more than the actual car cost me, in parts and labour this year. And I do most work on it myself as well. That's what you get for driving a fast car in the way it's meant to be driven. Stuff wears out.

 

Thats really nice!!!

 

not bad i suppose, but if i was going for a high powered estate, it would be an RS8, cant afford one so my nect choice would be a Galant VR-4
