Have put a deposit on a 22b in a garage in Chester. Want to get the car inspected for damage etc. I have used RAC and green Flag before for previous inspections, but for such a unique car I'm wondering if I'm better off with a specialist local to Chester. Any suggestions?

Would be great if the car wouldn't leave the garage for the inspection as I can't see the garage being too keen seeing the car leaving the premises

maybe a subaru service tech can pm me direct for info on any dealers/techs that can have a look

Have you tried posting on 22b bbs as well mate. Might find a local expert who'll have a look for you, or at least know the whereabouts of someone who will. I had my MY99 inspected by the AA (sadly no longer available) and they conducted a very detailed inspection. I dare say the RAC would do the same.

is it Walkers??

yes walkers. Ive had rac and green flag before, although detailed, Id like the mechanics of the car given a knowlegable once over as well as panels etc. The big inspectors IMHO have a checklist mentality, and not being impreza specialists might over look certain things specific to imprezas.

Have tried 22b.com, but this is a much larger community so hopefully covering all bases

I dont think that the RAC/AA/Greenflag inspections are comprehensive enough for specialist cars such as the 22b. They may well pickup basic things such as brakes/suspension/exhaust leaks etc but I dont they would be able to do a detailed inspection on such a car

I had a RAC inspection done on my current car and they missed quite a few major items such as the Turbo seals!!!!!

Ring prosport in Stockport
they might help

tried pro sport, £120, sounds good to me! RAC want £260

The 22b had flat tyres when I saw it in Walkers about 4 weeks ago - might have just been an interesting security measure...

Tax ran out dec 04. I'm assuming its been laid up due to its engine rebuild. Tyres looked nice and pumped up when I saw it, resisted kicking them

Nobody has seen or heard of it before either on here or on 22b.com.

Anyone out there had problems with their steering rack on this model, my scooby has now been garaged 3 weeks waiting on new steering rack from Japan.....

Thats an interesting thought on the matter... PMSL

If ProSport will do it... I would recommend them to do it for you. Pete and John are usually very helpful and will certainly be able to tell what it is like mechanically
