My 97-98 turbo 5-door seems to have both faults common to that year - clutch judder and startup rattle. Local dealer says both could have been fixed under warranty by the previous owners. I bought the car from a dealership about 10 months ago, with a year's warranty, not knowing about these faults. AIUI, the fixes are new flywheel and 4th piston - is there any chance that Subaru might still provide free fixes? Who should I contact?

Providing the warranty you have is the extended 5 year Subaru warranty, then the person to contact is your local Subaru dealer. He will need to put in a claim then tell you when Subaru has agreed to repair.Was the dealer you used aware that the car had warranty? He was a Subaru dealer right? I suggest you act quickly.
If the warranty is not from Subaru then you should contact the dealer you bought the car from and take their advice. You may need to contact the warranty company direct.

The dealer (Sparshatt's of Botley) didn't seem too keen on discussing it as a warranty issue, which was why I asked here. I guess I'll have to be a bit more forthright with the dealer, then if I don't get any joy, move on to Subaru UK.
