How does one damage a parking sensor? They also lied to me about cleaning the car went I requested they not touch it. It doesn't take a detective to tell the difference between a car that has and hasn't been cleaned in winter! I was debating changing dealerships for the next service but it...

Had my first service cancelled last minute as they hadn't received the oil filter. I asked whether they could use an equivalent Subaru part and was told absolutely not if the car is still in warranty. Finally got the car in for the service and noticed that they have actually used a Subaru oil...

I'm in the same boat as you. Not sure I want to use my own car. Would love to have done it if they were fronting all 3 GRs to try out!

Yes. You need to take the bumper core support out to get access to the end of the bolts for the nuts and washers.

Just finished fitting mine. Had to trim the bumper core support a little bit. Looks great.

Thanks for the heads up Mike. Had a quick Google and it seems there was quite a bit of debate with the old car of whether to clean it off or not.

I've done about 180 miles since picking up the car. Looked in the engine bay for the first time and noticed a green sticky substance on both sides of the engine. Is this coolant? I can't see an obvious leak source and the coolant level is at full still. Anyone else noticed anything similar?

After being told collection before Christmas and then a series of ETAs: 2/12, 16/12, 19/12, 23/12, 12/01. I resigned myself to not seeing the car till April as I'm off on a business trip from the 5th of Jan for 3 months. I managed to organise a second unaccompanied test drive yesterday to see...

Had a go in Marshalls Bristol North this afternoon. A bit disconcerting when the salesman fills it up with standard petrol and then insists there is no break in procedure. Apparently this wasn't covered in the day at Goodwood which he went on. Not sure what the point of that day was to be honest.

Just spoke to Bristol North. They are expecting their demo tomorrow and will need 4-5 days to prep it before test drives begin. They are expecting my car to be delivered to them on 2nd of December.

Elon musk is scum and can absolutely do one

Did anyone have odds on the queen kicking the bucket before anyone took delivery of a GR86?

My order has just been updated to the same. I just assumed that it meant the car was now on a boat on the way here?
