D'oh! Sorry...

Are we going to have a link at the top along with the FAQ/Search etc etc stuff?

When I type in 'Dr Nick' as my Nickname it tells me that it's already in use. Is someone hijacking my identity?

Forgive me if that's a stupid question but I'm new to chat online...

I like the black one too. It looks just like my white one. Only the steering wheel appears to be on the wrong side. And it's not white.

Marcus, if I was you I'd be taking the car to my mechanic and getting it checked over. I'd have to be lead-footed and drive everywhere in 3rd gear to get down to 15mpg...

Hi guys.

I get about 23-24 in town and around 28-29mpg on a run. I'm not particularly light-footed and make the most of the acceleration!

Does that help?

Thanks Josh.

My replacement pulley and bolt should arrive tomorrow. I'm off to buy a torque wrench...

Once again the board comes up trumps!

On my way home from work tonight my steering suddenly got very heavy and the charging, ABS and brake warning lights came on. "No problem," I thought. "The fan belt must have snapped." Pulled over and flipped the hood. Not only had the fan belt disappeared, so had the bottom pulle...

I agree with Laurel about doing some off-road driving to learn the limits of your vehicle. I started driving in Scotland (I was born there) and used to go out and find really big empty parking lots when the snow was a couple of inches deep. This gave me the opportunity to get my car into skids with ...

And me. Over here Subaru Impreza Turbos and Mitsubishi Evos are so sought after by the criminal fraternity that you are asking to be held up at gunpoint for your car (true - this has actually happened here in Coventry. Twist in the tale is that the would-be crims stole a Seat Leon Cupra Sport first,...

(1) The ability to have my Legacy change for the latest, fastest new Subaru every year...
(2) The ability to drive really, really well (ref: Colin McRae)
(3) The ability to implement peace in the world
(3a) The ability to ensure that the road I want to drive on is empty whilst I drive on it...

http://www.bsmotoring.com/2004/jan31_3.htm Just read about this in my monthly 'big dreams' magazine, Evo http://www.evo.co.uk/ It was just a little piece at the bottom of the page but their illustration had the car in traditional Subaru blue with gold alloys and either way I think it looks FANTASTI...

I don't think you US guys get these, but I recently had a Peugeot 307 diesel hire car. This car is the size of an Impreza but with a 1.4litre diesel engine. It is without doubt the worst new car I have EVER driven due to the incomparably dire performance - the factory performance figures include a 0...

Fixed it!

Took the inside trim off the door and used the rods inside to get the door open. Felt something click and now it all works perfectly!

I chose original silver. The only problem with changing the colour of your car is making the whole thing match. Examples: inside of the hood, edges of the doors, inner sills! Made this mistake before...

I've got factory rails on mine but having seen some without I can't see what you'd fit them to. Are there hidden holes in the roof or something?

I'm pretty sure that UK models were never supplied with auto tranny. Don't know about the different turbo size though.

have you tried pushing your handle back in towards where its supposed to be, if it didnt bounce back.... Mine gets stuck occasionally, and it wont open til i put it back in place... Thanks Laurel - tried that too! It's done that since I bought her about 18 months ago now. I lubed it and it worked b...

Tried the heat thing already - drove around all day yesterday with the heater on full. All the doors open except the tail...

Need help! What use is a wagon when you can't get the tailgate open?? Background is - we had some snow and ice around here the night before last, -5 degrees C, and I couldn't get my doors to open 'cos they were frozen to the seals. I tried to open the tailgate and get in that way but it wouldn't ope...

I don't want to start any kind of Auto/Manual flame war here, but name me a single international high-level motorsport where they use autos... My parents have auto cars and I've been driving both manual and automatics for 18 years (boy do I feel old now!) and they both have their place. However none...

Mate, nothing ventured - nothing gained.

I have three scottish (male) friends who now live in the US and are married to ladies that they met on the net. Don't sweat it - relax, push it a little bit and see what comes of it.

Not unless my Legacy was about to be towed to a junkyard...

Hiya and welcome! I'm in the UK and have a 4-cam estate. I don't think it'll compare to a Skyline for performance but I have a 2-year old son and he thinks it's GREAT! Loads of space, plenty fast enough for our gatso-equipped roads and a real sleeper (mine has no badges...) First, don't get hung up ...

I knew I was doing SOMETHING wrong!!

That's about 42 pounds for you foreigners...

You go guy! I'm really proud to be associated with someone who is taking the bull by the horns and not just sitting back and whining! My little resolution this year is to lose some weight - I'm about 3 stone overweight and I started my diet yesterday. Who knows, it might even make the turbo run a li...
