Default 1st Impreza - 2000 UK Turbo - Just a Friendly Hello

Hi all,

Just thought its about time I said hi, I have owned the above for about 3 months and must say I will be sticking with Impreza's for a little while

I am in Romford and just wanted to know if anyone uses a local garage for the standard engine work, mines standard so just looking for a health check as I wouldnt have a clue if anything is wrong and a normal service If anyone local is free to give me advice and to look at it for me then there is always a drink involved

Will try and pop down to a meet soon just cant drive the scoob at the mo as had a knee op.

Cheers all.

Ant

Welcome to the ESC. There are quite a few members from the Romford area!
As for a car health check.....the guys at Mr Clutch in Chelmsford are getting rave reviews on here and know their stuff. Also there will be recommendations for Mocom who are in/near Harlow(?) and also Xtreme in Boreham, you are spoilt for choice!
