MyO2 STI UK has 5 months warranty left. I took it to town & Count* Subaru in Aberdee* to be checked under the 7 months warranty remaining Because the clutch was burning, and the brakes were judderig. They said there was nothing wrong with the clutch (TOTAL LIES) and the rear pads were down to the springs. No indication in the cab/pedal of that at all. They charged 160 just for the pads. 80 notes per corner ? That's into racing spec money.

<I was away abroad at the time, So the wife took it in>

DONT GO THERE !!!!!!!!

What'd you think ?

The clutches can smell a bit if you are reversing up a slope, or have slipped them a bit when doing 3 point turns. They pretty much all do that. I had my original one replaced under warranty due to bad judder at 20k miles. It's coming back again now at 55k miles, but I can live with it, as my car is now out of warranty.

Brakes juddering - most likely a warped front disc, or a build up of pad deposits on the front discs - you'll notice this when they get warm. Look for an outline of a pad shape on the discs.

The OEM Brembo pads are very expensive. I think the fronts used to be over £200/set. I fitted DS2500s on the rear of mine over 30k miles ago, and there's still life left in them. think they were about £55 for a set of 4, including P&P.

I replaced my front discs at about 45k miles, as they were quite worn (obvious lip on the outside edge), and they were also juddering. I replaced them with DBA 4000 discs which were a direct swap. Got them from Wallace Performance in Bridge of Don, which were around £200 for the pair with SIDC discount.
