Thumbs up

Hi Guy's need some help please.

I collected my 94' WRX Estate on Friday night all good.

Saturday the window switch for the drivers window packed in. I took it apart and thought I had fixed it but it has gone again!

How much are these to replace?

Monday Morning on the way to work the speedo decides to stop at 81699, and the needle wont go below 20mph!

Is there a good breaker in the Midlands that could be relied on for these parts or is it a trip to the main dealer?

Lastly what tire pressure should I run on the standard 16" wheels?

Thanks in advance.

Oh and on my first post was answered with a note saying Scooby drivers wave. They don't in Derby!

They're not so local to you, but I've heard that these fellas are pretty good.

Give them a ring, they may be of use to you.

Thats great, they are only about 25 miles away! I will now wave at every green impreza. And if you see a L reg silver wagon (normally with wood on the roof) that's me.

Thanks

The window switch went on my 94 WRX wagon as well. Got a used one from townsend garage which break scoobys. Think I paid £20 for it. Not sure if they are still on the go but someone will sell you one
