Servicing intervals
Hi peeps,
just a quick question: I'm getting confused as to how often to service my 03 uk STI, the book says every 10,000 miles although I have learnt that you should service them every 6,500 miles - does this mean big services every 10k with smaller services 6,500 after - that means only 3,500 miles after a small service you should have a large service?

No - you have 4 levels of service , A B C D.
The service schedule goes something like this:
A B A C A D A C A B A C&D A B A C A D A B
You go through this schedule at every 10,000 - or after period of time, as you say, it's nice to be able to do this every 6,500.
Each level will have an increasing level of service - and A is basically an Oil and filter change along with level checks - where as a C&D will be a full fluid replacement along with plugs and cambelt etc.

Every 6,500 miles!!!! I would be very surprised at that. Are you sure you are not thinking about 7,500 miles that comes with a classic car?
I have a 53 Plate STi with PPP and even Prodrive say 10,000 mile servicing is adequate. I take it you use you'res for track days?

A lot of people change oil/filter at 5k intervals (ie between schedule services) as it's a piece of **** and an extra safety net if you're running anything above basic mods..
