Hi all, I am new here with my first Impreza as pictured below. Its a 2000 reg Impreza 2000 turbo. I am not mechanically minded but love cars. Got the car a few days ago and needs a small amount of work but love it already. Tim Farmer mechanic lives local and will be coming to have a look and service it. I have heard good things about him. Needs a little body work doing to.

Known faults so far are rear window wiper not working, tried replacing the fuse but no luck. Passenger and rear passenger side speakers not working. Still has original radio. In fact the whole car is original. There is plastic missing off the inner wheel arch. Not sure what this is called?

I would like for the car to have aircon but this seems to be expensive although can source the parts for a reasonable cost. Need someone to fit it though.

I enjoy forums and look forward to being part of this community.

Nice waggon looks clean. De-amber and c\c is all it needs imo and keeps it looking original

For the rear wiper, look for damage in the wiring between body and tailgate.

And welcome.

Many thanks for the welcome guys. Joined a few forums as I will need plenty of advice being a noob and not very mechanical

I will check the wires between tailgate body Good suggestion.

What is De-amber and c/c?

Cheers again.

Looks nice and clean, what are the rear arches like?

Phil3822

Rear arches are as clean as the front. Not a spot of rust or damage. Seem ok on the inside from what I can see so far. Will find out more when get it up on ramp for service.

Can any answer "What is De-amber and c/c?" please.

Thanks for the welcome.

De-amber = swap all the orange lights for clear.

CC = colour code the black bits to match the body.

What matt said just an idea to freshen it up but looks great as it is

Welcome along, wagons rule.

I'd leave it just the way it is, that's a nice clean car you have there, not many like that left, if it ain't broke don't fix it.

Phil3822

Thanks for the welcome all. Got the mirrors working properly now. Slowly figuring out the car and what needs doing. Not much at first glance.

You are in VERY good hands with Tim Farmer, he's one of the best, and a really nice guy to boot. Wish he would come down to London to do jobs!

Welcome to Scoobynet, a lot useful threads for you to get a good understanding of everything Scooby. A lot ot tw@ts too, but if you can ignore them, you will get a lot out of the forum :-)

Beautiful wagon! Look after it, they are going up in value ;-)

Phil3822

Hi Taylor, yeah in Cambridge and looking to maybe go for a cruise or pint with local people to talk Scooby etc.

Cheers Reshard. Tim should be coming round mine in a week or 2. Lives less than 30 minutes from mine so please got someone so close that knows the job and car. Initial service price from him seems good as well.

Really want to have aircon being addicted to the cool air but looking an expensive job. I can get the gear easy enough but man do auto elecs know how to charge. Vary in price and experience big time.

Enjoying being part of the forum and thanks for the welcome.
