Got a superb (?) 1993 1.8 5door Impreza as a courtesy car today while my beast is in for its service.

Question... when did Subaru switch over the sides of Indicator and Wiper stalks?

Lost count of the number of times I wiped the windscreen at road junctions :-o

(also had a nasty incident when I put my foot down hard to pull out of a junction as per normal, and nothing happened !!!)

Yeah, I went, in the space of a month, from MY97 (RH stlk) to MY99 (LH stlk) to 22B (RH stlk). And the Escort is LH too, lost count of the times I've aggressively/courteously cleaned my screen at people in the scoob.
Guess it must have been MY99 then!

Its LH on the MY98. Just changed to STi V5 and after 3000 odd miles still get it round the wrong awy

 

right hand drive cars always used to have the indicator stalk on the right, it was changed over because of EU rules that say that the indicators must be on the left (presumably so you can change gear with the right - shame they forgot about the UK)

Imports still have the indicator on the right (Good reason for buying an import )

Paul,

The indicator lever changed in MY98's.

Cheers,

Rob.

 

right side is much better in my opinion

try steering, indictaing and changing gear at the same time in a car with indicator on the left, not easy!

Hi Paul
I haven't seen you post in a while, hows it going?
Was the service as good as you expected?
Did they find anything wrong?
What did it cost?

I came back from living in Sweden some months ago where they drive on the right (wrong) side of he road and I still bang my head on the window when I try and look through the rear view mirror that isn't there and change gear with the door handle...

 

Ron,

Had a crackdown in the workplace on internet usage... oops!!

Can't fault Chapelgate for their servicing. Don't know how the cost comparess, but hey, they're local and for me, time spent travelling is earnings lost. The cost was just over £200 for the £15K service.
I'm taking it back next Friday for the bodywork service thing which will cost another £100 or so.

Everything was done on time and the car came back sparkling - including having the tyres blackened up!! Looked like a new car.

Had no problems for them to fix whatsoever.
