The MAF, well, I reckon it fails as a result of inappropriate Induction Kits ...... having contacted my Main Dealer and mentioned the MAF 'Problem' he laughed and said I had been reading too many internet myths ..... he had NO reason to believe that the standard car suffers in anyway from a sensitive MAF - he laughed at the word 'sensitive' ..... the more sensitive the better he said!
28mpg is what it should be returning at 58,000miles given a carefully run-in engine - driven with sympathy!

Its a shame you could only afford a secondhand Impreza, when you grow up and get some more money you might be able to stretch to one ..... please don't put yourself down that you could only afford £7,500 when I could put down £22,000 cash - you will get there one day! Chin up!

Cars are boring to you are they?? So, you buy a secondhand car for £7500 when you could buy a VERY decent NEW car for less!!
You are making yourself look very stupid, you know??

You said you didn't know what PPP cost
I really wouldn't get too upset that you could only afford £7500 for a car, no-one is judging you on the fact that you have a big mortgage and cannot make ends meet, but want to try and play with the big boys!

I choose not to just yet as unlike you I am only 37. Could you pay your house off at 37? I doubt it. I am tight *** that enjoys buying cars for what they are really worth and letting someone else throw their money away first. Keep going its idiots like you that give me better lifestyle

Paid my mortgage off at 27, owned 12 houses by the time I was 35, sorry - ...... like I said, don't knock yourself down because you are behind and struggle to keep a note in your wallet.
Incidentally, I thought by the way you were writing that you were about 14 or 15 years old ..... sorry about that, ooooops!
Anyway, I'm off to bed now - don't keep putting yourself down, chin up old boy!!

conclusion some saddo has been chasing a row with unknown people for 4 days or more. Started as oil change procedure and ended with a psl v the world. Someone needs to get a life or a woman and as i said in an earlier thread what a waste of an impreza if psl drove his car as much as he posted..... oh well whats the point old bastid. I bet he's the one in the green impreza with chav burberry flat cap and sat 2" from the steering wheel.
