North Motor Company, Cheriton, Near Alresford Hants
Tel 01962 771331. Small Independant garage who specialise in Subaru, Isuzu & Saab.
I have used them for the past 2 years & can not speak highly enough of them. Very competetive rates & great attention to detail. If you need to know any more mail me direct, I dont tend to monitor Scoobynet on a regular basis. They are always busy so book early.

Chapplegate in Ferndown isn't too far. They are the main dealer.

There is a place at Hurn too, but not sure of the name.

Best oil is (IMHO) Castrol RS 10w 60, dont use 5w or even worse 0w. Motul is good too. I used to use Magnatec which is also fine for road use. A fully synthetic is better, but Subaru don't say its a must.

I have used Chaplegate and can recommend their service. :) They are also the main Porsche dealer in the area...nuff said!

Your best man for the job, and he is just around the corner from you at Bournemouth Airport is Andy Vey of Triton Motor Services.
He works on any jap performance car but specialises in Scoobies and Evo's.
You wont find a more helpfull knowledgeable chap and even his prices are very reasonable.
His number is 01202 571564

Tell him Chris with the silver Evo 6 sent you, and ask him how his sauna is doing !!! lol

Thats the people I meant! I think he uses Elf 5w40 from memory? So might be ok, but a 10W is better if you can supply your own.

I know it a little way to travel but I was speaking to Master Tech in a certain Hampshire dealers last time I was in, he said that he does homers all the time.
