I've just had some brake work done by Midland Impreza in Nuneaton (02476 373555). They were really helpful and friendly and specialise in imports. They've also got a gorgeous 22B just cluttering up their yard too. I offered to get it out of their way but there was the little matter of £31k... D'oh!

Shona - what about the Subaru dealer on the A34 just past Wooten Wawen? They should service EU imports...

Jon, Thanks for that look out I have phoned them as that would be a great place to have her serviced but they will not touch an import "to much trouble"

Thanks

Shona - if it's an UK spec car sourced from the EU then they have to service it under EU law - I'd tell them so.

I have my Belgium car MY02 serviced at Subaru delaers and so do most other people who want to keep their warrantys - so I'd try them again.....

Jon

PS have they knocked the high school down yet?

Be prepared for return visits.

Unhappy

Got to retract my earlier post and agree with rayman. Just got the kit out to change my oe-spec wheels for some nice shiny new Oz Super T's and found that the nuts had only been hand-tightened by Midland Impreza when they did my brake upgrade. Good job i'd been taking it easy while the new pads bedded in!

Sorry about that.
