Hi

The top grill is loose on my WR1. Each side of the grill has 2 black plastic lugs at the bottom. However I then have 2 metal clips on the offside at the bottom, but no clips on the nearside. How many clips should there be?

chris's scooby

I'll go and have a count up for you.

there's loads of clips IIRC.

chris's scooby

On my top grill there are four plastic clips at the top and four metal brackets that the grill slots into at the bottom.

That's all i can see.

I think a clip was missing on a mote of mines WR1, AFAIK he had the grille replaced under warranty...

Nick

Thanks guys

I think I had 4 lower metal clips, I found one beneath the rad, the 2 clips must have fallen off. In fact one of the remaining clips is pretty loose.

Here's the grill:


& here's Scooby guarding one of the clips:

Thanks Chris

I was just editing it to fix the link!

Nick

Thanks for your help guys. Looks like a warranty job - along with the rattling gearstick!

Nick

Just another quick question. How do I get the STi badge off? It's lop-sided! I think my grill was fitted one Friday afternoon!

chris's scooby

Not sure on that one. Best get the garage to do it when they fix the grill.

Nick

Ok Chris, thanks.

Mines the same both o/s lower L shape brackets for the upper grill had fallen off dealer took one of the nearside and stuck it on to o/s as an interim measure while he investigates geting new ones

My gearstick twitches back and forth in first is this what you have got?? as I am sure it shouldent be doing this when I mentioned this at the first service they said it was nothing to worry about I dissagree and will be speaking to them again.

chris's scooby

How much of a twitch?

I've not noticed anything on mine.

Nick

No, it's not twitching, it rattles from around 2500-3000rpm. It's a little annoying. Push down on the gearstick & the rattle stops.

p1doc

could it be due to the dccd? as this is next to the gearbox and in the wr1 i drove was whining,this could create a vibration affecting the gearknob...or it could be a loose gearknob!look and see if the pin is fully in on the gearknob

Nick

Hmm thanks, I'll check this out tomorrow. I'll adjust the DCCD & see if it affects the rattle, also I'll check the gearknob, although last time I looked at it I couldn't see a pin or grub screw anywhere.

Hello Nick

I've the same problem with the grill on my WR1. The dealer has ordered a new one for me under warranty.

It's interesting that you get a rattle as well from the gearstick area. My dealer is just about to be asked to investigate mine. The rattling starts at the same revs as yours.
