Didn't have cracking etc. problems with the tyres, but noisy as hell, hence the first warranty bearings changed, 2nd time they put on other wheels/tyres and noise stopped.
If you got a new noise then some other problem I guess.
Brake pads worn, binding? Bushes worn in a/r bar?? other suspension bushes worn, or needs alignment??
Guessing here!

Well got myself an official Subaru iPod interface. It's an option from the American market only but Subaru UK have just one in stock with a note of "test fit uk car" whatever that means, it'll be at my local dealer tomorrow morning 
I tried to get along with the aux connector but its just dangerous trying to flick through playlists for songs.
It's a bit pricey but I've gone for an official Subaru one as it will connect with my stereo (no nav, no DAB) and it should mean no issues if I need to use the warranty for anything.

Here's the link

My local dealer was a bit curious as to where I'd got the part number from, it would appear they aren't aware of the online parts stores from Subaru dealers. Hopefully if it works they'll be able to offer them as a uk option.

Is it on general release Rob, as in all v-power is now nitro+ even if pump is still marked up as old fashioned v-power?
I guess it will take a few days for all garages to empty the tanks and get stocked up with the new stuff!!

cheers mate, she going in for paint on monday, so hoping its back for the weekend at the earliest.
I think the new front is just awesome, Shame that the cost is £876 just for parts for a retail customer then its to paint ontop..

not sure, I'll check on the box tomorrow for you. But they ARE the Prodrive/Eibachs.
unless Rob knows.
NOT the Eibach ProKit!

doesn't seem to be all over the place with the front end when you pick up speed.
firm ride but not feeling like a skateboard!!
less body roll around Islands/corners.... generally the car feels sturdier when driven
but then it all might be in my head lol
