Hi guys, this morning i managed to buy a version 4 Type R in white,74k miles with 2 mots showing it was only imported in 2009...... for £3200 plus auction fee's

Anyway i have taken the auction gamble and driven the car home, all is good BUT i have found when reverseing i can hear a knock knock coming from what seems the rear diff?? is this normal...the car drives fantastic, pulls hard, DCCD adjustment seems to work fine on the dash so no real complaints apart from this knocking issue and funny enough it only happens when i am reverseing at a angel??

Either way i am a happy bunny and have returned to my home with my third scooby...wife does not know as she does not finish until 5 and i was suppiosed to buy a van

 

Sounds a lovely car! Any photos, I would love a white type r classic

 

Welcome back mate. Are you making sure the diff is in the open position (all the way back) when you reverse? PMSL @ wifey not knowing. Top man

 

As above, you no doubt have the diff in the closed, or nearly closed, position -- the maneuvering slowly/clunking noises is a common scenario to happen to first-time DCCD owners.


Make sure you post up the amusing anecdote of your missus's reaction when she claps eyes on it (the car, that is)...

 

Seems the price of 'R's is dropping, great buy. Get some pics up.

 

I'm looking for a type r coming down very nicely in price be a nice project

 

Thanks guys, yes the DCCD is not on the lock setting but the auto option


Yes i am going to need some serious luck tonight as we have been looking to buy a van for a while and i have held on to my Blob sti and version 1 sti as a must so she will be pied!

 

No sex tonight

 

Very true, this one dropped £2k in a matter of hours! https://www.scoobynet.com/subaru-444...ti-type-r.html

 

The advert police in full flow

 

Its not the no sex i am worried about, its me waking up in the morning to find my sump in the sheets with oil over my legs

 

 

Look at the HORROR in his face.....i hope thats not me in the morning

By the way Flowers ordered

 

Already feelings of guilt

Flowers, recognition of your wrong doing

You are big trouble friend

 

LOL mate i knew i was doing wrong the moment i saw the car at the auction, i said to myself if it goes over £3800 then i wont buy it

I could not beleive when the hammer went down, anyone sell me a van for £500 and a GREAT handshake?

 

Another scumbag trying to rip some poor unsuspecting sole off.

 

no its a great car he just left out a few details, like its a cat c.
im sure its the first thing he would mention upon viewing
