##can anyone look at a subaru wrx for me in dublin##

Hi.

Received email this morning.

The problem you have with looking at a subaru is that you can tell very little.

Yes of course can go through the same as any other car. (thats on the ground).

-Body damage/Crash repair.
-Strange noises
-leaks etc.


But you "cannot"

-drain oil looking for bearing particles.
-Pull plugs out do leak down/compression test
-drain diff and gearbox see if magetic bung has pickedetal up
-pull alternator off and attatch oil pressure gauge
-remove timing belt covers check condition and if ever has been changed.
-99% of time no ramp access.

This is all essential of making an overall view if its a good Subaru. And as no owner/seller is going to let you drain oils and pull plugs etc its something you will normally find out after purchase.

So imo no car park checks can tell you what you need to know. More then usual basic checks. And cross ref that with personal judgement. Mileage. Previous owners. Common Sense Etc etc etc.

Thats all time and cost of replacment oils etc.

As I said the UK plate isn't a problem to me atall I just need someone inspect this for me that's all I'm not askin for the engine be striped look at just the general stuff il be happy enough so if anyone on here can help it be great cheers
 
id say you would be better of creating a wanted add on here for a car
and see what comes up
you may be lucky and end up buying a car that is known in the club with history behind it
put down what your looking for and your budget (roughly)
have to say I agree about the LPG and UK plate (who needs the hassle of it being taken it aint as easy these days i hear)
may be a great car ive never seen it
but id be seeing what else was out there in the club first personally
wont happen over night but im guessing your not in a mad rush to buy
so therefore you have the advantage of waiting for the right car to come along
