yeah but ill do all 6, no point pissing about I don't think.

Possibly the spring that opens the side bit that moves ? or the one that pops it out when you push it at a guess.

Ah right, so a pain to recode ? Would have let him have it for the price of postage, sat in the loft doing nothing.

Where are you based ? I have a OEM head unit if you're interested ?

6 Plugs done, 3 hours. First time i've stripped anything off so don't think it was too bad. Seems to run better than it ever has so far, need a long motorway run to see if the issue returns now... Number 6 is a right arse to swap. One thing that did 'happen' P1136 quick google 'Potentially fried ECU' Panic time. On closer inspection I didn't reconnect the cam sensor near the airbox... Safe to say, they were knackered.. Update: Still misses under load at 80 in 5th/6th Coils next I guess....

Sorry to jump on this one, but getting a similar issue, drives fine upto 70ish at 80 or above missfires. More noticeable up hill. EML flashes for 10 seconds then stopped, logged P0300 (random missfire on one or more) and P0303 (Missfire on cyl 3) Ordered plugs to fit but is it more possible its the coil pack ?

How much for those cam covers ?

Id go manual all day long, picked mine up. Non GT as heard the sat nav is a waste of time, i'd ever use CC and the leathers don't have as much grip for your arse. Manual DE 19,000 miles Roadster, body work pretty much spotless barring the usual stone chips on the front £6500- Knocked him down to £6000 as it needs a new roof skin. That was 3 years ago.

Thought it sounded super cheap to be honest. I will keep you in mind should the need arise

Wish I hadn't looked at my old Focus ST, she was pampered when I had her, then got mistreated and abused. More advisories and fails than miles now Seems to be off the road. R.I.P Dannii

Out of curiosity, is that 2k for engine out, replacement in too ? Or is that extra ?

Hahaha yeah, I pretty much said the same to the Mrs. She was all 'I thought you knew about cars..' the response was a simple, 'it's not a real car, it's French'

All sorted, there are 4 bulbs plus 2 side lights and main, swapped the lot, now they work. Im guessing some sort of loop used, one out all out ? Thanks for the input guys.

Yeah both bulbs were clearly blown and black inside, not checked voltage though. Just weird how its gone from fine to dead in a day on both bulbs. Dash indicates lights are on and no fault showing either.

Hi All, Just wondering if anyone can assist with a weird issue with a 207cc 2009 Mrs was driving to work and a headlight failed (dipped) so told id get a bulb pop it in job done. On her way home the other went, so off to Halfords get a 2 pack of bulbs fit them and nope. Still not working. Checked the fuses they are fine, weirdly they have a fuse for left and right ? but all 4 fuses for side lights and headlights are fine. Main beam work and indicators. Any suggestions ? (other than burn it, or don't buy French cars xD) Cheers

Yeah pop that Stereo out, sounds like its been wired in wrong, probably just wired into a hot 12, just hope its not been butchered into the loom somehow.

Would probably make a great potato masher.

Don't suppose you have the y-pipe back for sale do you ? Mine has just failed at the back box joint.

Not surprised the 911 and 996 were cheaper than a scooby, such a bad rep on the Impreza's some deservedly so.

Seen loads of mentions for the 350zed but you want LHD so maybe something from the states like a Three Fiddy Zee ?

I've got the mrs's 207cc with Hastings Direct, only 2 years driving for £745. My 350 is with Zenith, £475 with business use.

I went with the wet sand and clearcoat, 40 mins a side

I just got one of these, https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-U480-Car-Engine-Auto-Fault-Code-Reader-OBD-2-Scan-Tool-Diagnostic-Scanner-UK/302214319524?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 works a treat, better to know the code rather than keep resetting it.

Great to see so many long term owners, even more so when they look as fresh as the day they were born (and improved upon), some stunning examples. Lets hope my 3 years continue onward as well as all of you guys have done !

I may need those i'll pop first dibs on them before you put them up for sale
