WR1 is in for its 5000 Mile Service this Week !

Postby Brian » Mon Oct 11, 2004 6:40 am

Apart fromt he Driving Light button that Subaru are suposed to change, (instead of a sticker)

Is there any other problem they should address ?

I have had to change the windscreen wipers as the originals nearlly blow off the screen at 100+ in the rain which isnt no good to me at all.

Comming back from Longleat the other day, we had bagpipes playing at anything over 100 MPH as the air blows in gaps around front and rear windows.. does anyone else have this problem.

Im sure Subaru will sort these minor problems out, as i have allredy sorted out the Windscreen wiper problem allready.

Bag pipes :lol:
maxed out at the Scotish Highlands anthem which was about 130, when the noise was getting painfull.

Ill see if Subaru will sort out one of those trims which go round the windows.

at first i thought it was the wifie playing about with Clares flute, after another extra 15 mph we had a few more in the band ;)

It's an inherent problem with Subaru's as they have pillarless doors.
At those speeds you'll also be getting noise from the scoop, the mirrors and the wipers!!

Just turn the stereo up louder!!

Its only 3 months since I told em about the light switch, so its probably not sorted yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You could also check the super bonded tax disc holder, the one they needed 8 hrs for it to set, cos mine has fallen off. :lol:

AND hows your driving lights set, mine dont show any further than headlights do, but for spotting roosting pheasants in the tree tops they are great. :shock:
