Hi mate, post up what they find cause my bug STi is the same. I have to slip the clutch when i move off from lights or it does a sort of nose dive then picks up again. I thought it might be normal but i'm so new to scoobs i'm probably wrong.

Got my RA in with them at the moment having some insurance work done after a meeting with the back of a Daewoo
I have used them a few times now and have allways found them to be very polite, helpfull, and a standard of work second to none. I cant praise them highly enough and wouldnt take my pride and joy anywhere else, its a trust thing isnt it?.
p.s. That creeping should be worth a bit of discount Clair?
Seriously though top bunch of guys

Guys, they should NOT be doing this. This will give you a bad impression of Scoobies, which are fantastic cars. They are infinitely configurable, like no other car, so maybe somone has been fiddling with yours. When it is running properly it will start well, idle smoothly, run smoothly, give you lots of grins. I am on my second one and both have given an average 24-25 mpg. Everyone accepts this but the New STi - the 3G or Third Generation or Impersonator has 3 Map settings and in Intelligent Mode can get 38mpg on the Motorway, so my project is to find such a set-up and fit it to my STi10 (Hawkeye). There are so-called tuners out there who screw your map settings up. Maybe you have a mechanical problem or something, (throttle position sensor, MAF Sensor etc) but the ECU can learn bad habits. Just for kicks try re-setting the ECU - disconnect the battery and leave the car overnight. Then re-connect in the morning and off you go, but it may not sort out a changed map or mechanical problem. And of course you should run on 98 Octane fuel at least - Tesco 99 or Shell V Power. But take it into Prosport. As I said, there are many tuners, so if you encounter one that treats you like an idiot, talks down to you or just plain bullsh1ts you and does not ring true, go elsewhere. Times are tough and you have the right to be treated properly. Peter
