30k and 60k are the cambelts. But it is also done on time if the mileage is not reached. I think it's 5 years or 60K.

Hope this helps.

If it does need the belts doing, then ask CVC for a quote - when mine needed doing it worked out cheaper to get them to do it than any of the other local garages I tried - half of them said 'we dont work on cars like that' and the others were on about dropping the engine out to do it and quoting stupid labour charges.

While some dont like CVC, their mechanics do belt changes all the time, so even though their labour charges may be higher, they can do them a lot quicker so arent always more expensive.

Plus, you get the service stamp in the log book from a Subaru dealer, which will look a lot better when you come to sell it.

Can you pass on VIP cards on? cause I dont need mine now, due to lack of scoob, so if anybody wants it, give us a PM.

Bonzee, I have to say thats a nice car mate It made me want to return to scoob ownership, sounded very nice indeed, even had the wife twitching to start trawling the car sales.

You should really come along to one of the meets, great bunch of people there, they will help you spend even more of your hard earned cash . Bring the Mrs and the kids as well.

Banana is looking very shiney, got the wife to clean it while I was at work yesturday She is such a perfectionist I know she wouldnt do a naff job, even though she said it only had a quick clean (she spent 3 1/2 hours she's slacking off, its normally 6 )
But it saves me the job
