WR1 Owners Club

Hi...it's taken a while but I've made it at last. I've had #237 for 9 years with work and other crap restricting the car to just 24500 miles.... Happily that's all changed so I was wondering if anyone could recommend a garage where I could get the cobwebs dusted off by mechanics who care ....?? I'm in methley near "classy" cas( Yorkshire). Thanks

you have had 9 years and not driven her?

No. I bought the car with 4500 miles on it and have only managed 1500 miles in the last 5 years..however I've more time now hence the garage request.its been to Goldens but I'd prefer a recommendation.Where do you have yours looked after ?

Had mine 9 months and not due a service yet .
But always took my old scoobs to h d c subaru at Hebden Bridge . Howard there is very good . Heard Richard Henry motorsport at Bradford are very good . So will be one of them .has your car been sorn most of time then ?

No..I had it on sorn for a year but just not used it. Every time I went to it the battery was flat.seems to be a common problem looking at some of the posts... That and knocking rear struts.So have decided to give her some Tlc.... I will give those guys a call. Thanks

I would recommend Adam and Jamie at Autotecnica in Buxton, (nearly 5 hr round trip for me but worth it) great service every time

Thanks Chris. I will give them a bell. I reckon about an hour from me and a nice place for a day out while they give the car a once over. Cheers

Your welcome mate.yeh nice place to wander , plenty of places for a coffee!

All booked in with for Monday. First impression was good. Thanks

With Autotechnica.......and a day around Buxton

Won't go wrong there, I did a 4 hour round journey to take mine there

Was a 3 hour round trip but well worth it for the drive there alone.....wood head pass and beyond. Jamie and Adam spot on. And yes silver sonic the battery was underpowered.....passed the day in and around Buxton, complete with a view of the largest unsupported dome in Europe....larger than the Royal Albert Hall ..... In Buxton..I kid you not

good to meet you mate car is a credit to you.
glad you got battery issue clarified.
true to my word went straight home and lowered mine 20mm looks better now had been set way too high, spotted a broken drop link so good job i did.

Adam mentioned I will need to invest in a pair of rear BC ? Coilovers as mine are friar tucked....might need to pick your brains on fitting/ settings mate

So did they look after your car then while it was there???
Mines booked in on 24th for the works..... Belts,plugs,oils etc...
Will have a walk into Buxton and surrounding area with my camera....

Yes. I got there for 9 and Jamie dropped me off in Buxton(garage is a couple of miles outside town) and picked me up when the car was ready which was 4 ish. Had a full service and cam belt replacement..good service and £reasonable
