Had my wagon for just over a month now and car is going into the garage again for the 3rd time for the 3rd problem. First of all gearbox started making grouchin noises and there still looking for what could be causing this. 2nd problem car kept losing power had diagnostic machine put in and looks like maf sensor so thats getting changed on friday. And tonight got a phone call from a mate saying " your cars dumped all its fuel" rushed home and yep it has looks like the filler pipe or something round there is leaking. Don't feel it would be safe for me and other drivers for me to drive it to the garage tomorrow to kick up s**t so getting it put on a break down wagon. As you can see not having much look so far. Fairly raging.

Rant over.

Well got a phone call yesturday from the garage and the news wasn't good . They have decided to buy it back of me they fixed the maf sensor and fuel pipe. But this gear box noise is the gearbox and engine so really were fighting a losin battle as it might never end and for the price i paid i'd end up with a free car.

So here is the first and last pic of the wagon



But they have been very good to me i'm very happy with there service and they offered me a 05 reg impreza sport for a very good price. So now i'm downgrading for a year to save some pennys for my next project . But heres a couple of pics of the new car.

Hmm,Nice visual downgrade/upgrade but only if you paid less for the sport,i found when i had my sport it cost just as much to run fuel wise as the wrx !

hopefully no probs with the new one tho,enjoy.

Palmed you off with a sport I'd have just got the money and found a good uk turbo myself. As 'The Rig' said, the sport drinks almost as much fuel as the turbo!
