guys,
can anyone with a UK supplied 03 WRX tell me what the service interval is please?

After 1000 mile running in service, is it 12months or 10000 miles (whatever is sooner)?

cheers

Yes, UK '03 WRX/STi is 10K miles or 12 months, which ever comes first.

cheers Dr Evil.

Just spoke to Belgian dealer (where I got my WRX) and found that they are OK with 12mths but service interval is 7800 miles (ie. 12500km).

Not what I was told when I ordered the car, but better to know now than at 7801 miles......

Well, when i got my belgian sourced WRX 6 months ago, the Service Interval is actually given as 9/19/28/38 miles (i.e. 9/10 alternate). This is the closet correlation to the Euro 15K km Interval.

Confusion however is not limited to Euro-dealers. Whilst in my local (and new) subaru dealer the service manager claimed the first service for a UK WRX was 7.5K miles not 10K miles (or even 1K miles).

Doesnt exactly help when subaru dealers dont have a clue themselves.
