Well, it is still on and there are about 100 or so Subaru's attending. If any of you are over here that weekend come down and meet us all.....we`ll probably be propping the bar up in the pub in the square!!!!! Joan.

Sorry guys.........it`s back on, well, always was, but me got a bee in my bonnet:rolleyes:

Forget the above.....looks like it has gone pear shaped!

http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/showthread.php?t=326044&page=1&pp=20 Read the thread and if any Uk owners are interested then please do join us. Anyone else.....quite welcome if you are in the UK at that time....... September 12th 2004 (it`s a Sunday) Looks like a 'GOOD' turnout. Joan.

O.K then, an update of my UK300...... The dealer has just phoned to say the car is ready and said there was a problem between 3rd and 4th gear, they have replaced the parts and said that Subaru must have been aware there was a problem as the new parts they ordered are slightly modified. They sorted out some other minor problems too and ALL under warranty...... So a BIG thimbs up for 'DAYS' of Chelmsford, UK.....TOP JOB GUYS and many thanks.... Joan.

Chip, didn`t need to tie him up or anything!!!! He was quite willing to take it in.....the sooner the better, so he takes it from next Tuesday for a few days. They will be doing it all under warranty:) Will be using Castrol Syntrax when it comes back!!!!! Joan.

Been to the dealer. Goes in on the 25th for a strip down and rebuild under warranty

It`s a Subaru Impreza WRX UK300 MY01.....

Well, I am going to the dealer tomorrow to have it checked!!! Shall I take a tape recorder with me for evidence..... Will let you all know how I get on...... Thanks for all your replies, you have put my mind at rest a little.... Joan.

OK Here is a picture of the bits of metal. Not too clear but as you can see quite a few bits. As far as I know this is the first oil change the gearbox has had. All seems OK with the gears........ Opinions please

Thanks for that.....yes, it is still under warranty, was going to pay for another two years. Will the warranty still be valid even though I have had the oil changed by a reputable dealer......(please say yes) also, used the castrol syntrax oil. Will try and get some pics up of the problem!!!

attached to the sump magnet were about a dozen pieces of metal about 3mm square in size???????? is this right????? a little worried to say the least!!!! Although gear change is fine?? Could it be diff trouble..... ???????? Any help would be appreciated..........PLEASE
