tom i have the same make and model car as yours, not sure about the service but second gear is my favourite plenty of pull and grunt, sorry if this wasnt the answer you were looking for

fitzscoob..
some times it pulls well in second other times it doesn't if I'm going round a roundabout and then floor it some times it just doesn't go... in fact my saxo pulled harder in second ;-)

fat tom try a search on here about the 2nd gear thing , I seem to remember it's a thing they all do , if you are running along in second gear for a few seconds ,for example waiting to overtake then plant the old right foot nothing seems to happen it seems like someone has taken your turbo away !I seem to remember reading it's something Subaru built in so they could get round some emmission crap . I've got a MY99 and it does it also.
