I do it myself mate. Since its an Import, no Subaru dealer would service it so you won't get that service stamp that people look out for. Its easy to do anyway, apart from cam belt changes (damn stupid spring loaded)..

In Glouchester Green. Its an amusement arcade. If not we can try Coffee Republic in George Street if you don't know the place.
edit: I'll take a look at your car if you want then.

I'm going to play it safe as I've been known to get lost on the way so around 10-11 in the morning? We might have to drive up to Reading though so someone can guide us there. Wait, last time it was Rich that got us lost.

No probs mate. I'm also going despite of the bad things thats happened to me for the past 2 nights. My mother in law just passed away last night and I'm taking my father in law out for the day tommorrow to ease him a bit. The Jap car meet is perfect for him as he loves cars too.

Cafe Republic mate. I'll also see if I can see any problems with your car if you want. The engine sound shouldn't be any different from mine.
10 ish?

Depends really. It could be your boost solenoid ticking (if you're using it still). Its difficult to explain, well thats what I write in every report I do anyway.
