Hi from a Newbie
Hi Guys, on Friday I will be collecting my new car. Its a W reg UK 2000 Turbo Impreza Wagon and I am really excited!
I live in Essex near Harlow.
I want to do a major service on the car and also the cambelt. I am told its worth changing the waterpump and possibly some of the pullies / tensioner (any thoughts?)
Looking forward to getting involved and meeting some of the Essex Crew too!
Thanks so much, Chris

Speak to Zak @ Mocom he's only @ North Weald so just down the A414.
Not usually any need to replace the water pump unless it's leaking. As for tensioners/Pullies they really needs to be checked to see if they need to be replaced or not. Again not usually a problem area.

Well I'm back!
And I have the car...........well what can I say, the guy knows how to write an advert and how to take good pictures, but I have so much to do to it
She needs:
The big service & belts
Geometry Alignment - then two tyres
New brakes and discs all round
I have a couple of questions though guys.
It has a scorpion cat back exhuast, but it doesnt really have that signature scooby burble - why?
It has a Subaru factory fit cat 1 alarm with fob and key pad in the glove box - I cant find the code anywhere in the paperwork - how can I get it just incase the fob fails?
Thanks for any help!
Cheers Chris

.I had my factory alarm taken off, as some of the alarms on subarus can be affected by masts and stop you being able to disarm the immobiliser.
Many a time I have had to push the car 100 yards out of range of a mast
dont fancy that much

Keypad Use:
- The keypad allows only THREE PIN attempts and then will "Lock Up" if an incorrect number is entered a third time. This is a secuity feature to prevent random attempts at steeling the vehicle, however, it is also an inconvenience if you are suffering "Radio Lock Out" and enter your PIN incorrectly.
- The PIN number should not be entered too quickly or too slowly - when a digit has been pressed the small LED built into the keypad will illuminate briefly as confirmation and only then should the next digit be entered.
If an incorrect digit is pressed or the delay between entering digits exceeds10 seconds, then the LED above the keypad will flash rapidly and the PIN attempt should be aborted and started again after 30 seconds.
Due to the small size of the keypad some users may find a rubber tipped pencil easier to use. DO NOT use the sharp tip of a ball point pen etc, or press excessively hard on the keypad as this will only damage the membrane and cause a digit to remain pressed, causing a continual incorrect PIN.
Summary:
My advice is to read the alarm system's instruction manual and practice entering the PIN before you need it. If you do not know your PIN, or bought the car second hand (in which case the PIN may have been changed by the previous owner) you can change the PIN to one of your own choosing, using the keypad, provided that you have a working Radio Key.
Changing your PIN:
- Arm and then Disarm the system using a working Radio Key.
- Within 30 seconds of disarming, type into the keypad: *17856*92*wxyz*wxyz# (where wxyz is your new PIN code)
- Arm the system with the Radio Key
- You should now be able to disarm the system using the new PIN code
