Another one for Carnetix, just don't get talking to richard from tractive. Your visit could get a bit more expensive.

From my personal experience I certainly would not use Chandlers at Horncastle.
I had a recent experience where I needed to replace the transmission oil pan sump plug and quote "we don't know what that is". They put me through to the guy who actually services this type of car and the reply "don't know what you're talkng about"

So does this mean they don't ever drain the transmission when doing the service? I'll let you decide, but it certainly set the alarm bells ringing.

No disrespect to Chandlers Horncastle but iIMHO I simply don't think they know enough or service enough of this type of car.

Not heard of Carnetix before, they specialist Scooby centre?

No problem Jason. As I said to you on the phone I'll be booking my Euro 09 STI in for its 1000 miles service and ECU update as soon as I get my warranty documents from Subaru UK
