It's as you always suspected... Porsche Drivers are a bunch of Monkeys!

 

[Mark_Bennett]

Ooops.

And Happy Birthday Paul.

Hope the TiAL helps you manage control the dumping of your waste-gases.
(Have you been getting complaints?[:'(] )

HI John, to fill the holes behind the foglight covers on an STi impreza - in Botswana where the donkeys like to sleep standing in the road.
Scoobysport who were supposed to be sorting them have gone bust, the scoobynet shop link (TSL?) can't get them anymore, The Southampton Subaru parts department is constantly busy and Subaru UK gave me a number for prodrive which turned out to be a different department of Subaru UK who said I had to try my local dealer, which used to be chapelgate but isn't anymore etc. etc.
Fianlly should be available on Wednesday, you did ask!

[John Sims]

you did ask!

Yeh, glad I did now. [&:]

I thought Scooby support was suposed to be second to none, the customer service brilliant and everyone who owned a Scooby never considered another car again. How times change.

You are joking I take it?

I had mine serviced just before I sold it (traded it in, luckily). Service on Wednesday, trade-in on Sunday, phone call on Monday "there was no oil in the car, we topped it up but it's smoking like a chimney now. It needs a rebuild and we've been quoted £5k, where did you get it serviced?". And they dented the door and had the cheek to write it had a damaged door on the service report but denied they'd done it.

Then there was the time the Exeter dealer had the car because it would just suddenly lose power and (not at the same time) the "check engine" light would come on. They tried to give it back after a day with no fault found. I made them keep it but they took their courtesy car back. I got it back after a week with still no fault found. I ask what the check engine light was and they check again (I kid you not, they didn't know) and said it was the lambda. "Are you going to replace it then?" "Oh, we thought it was an old code and it had already been fixed". Why would they think that? They hadn't replaced it and what sort of dealer would replace a part and not reset the ECU fault code? Unbelieveable.

I also asked them 4 times to get me a price for a set of replacement floor mats, a new sticker for the boot as mine had faded and a quote for a WRC rear spoiler - couldn't ever remember to do it.

Seriously, my experience of Subaru dealers is that they make Alfa dealers look OK and SEAT fantastic.

Not going to get another one then?

That does sound very bad.

I failed to buy a Scooby from an independant - the cars were gray imports as it turned out so perhaps it was just as well. At the time I was very keen but the, so called, sales man was so bad that he couldn't even sell me the car despite me wanting it. In the end I lost patience and left. If that was the way they treat you when you are trying to buy a car I dread to think what they would be like if you did actualy manage to get hold of one and then want it serviced.
