Finally

[Glen]

After waiting 5 1/2 weeks I finally got my car back, it only took a full engine rebuild.









it does make a funny noise with the suspension like a squeaking noise anybody else have this problem?

 

[N0ddie]

A full rebuild? What was the problem that caused that?

 

[Glen]

bottom end oil starvation

 

[N0ddie]

Fudge me! Done under warrenty?

 

[Glen]

yup all under my 5 year warranty.

 

[Roy]

Before warranty is up you can opt to extend it for a price.

 

[Glen]

no i bought it from a subaru dealer who sold a 5 year warranty with it

 

[Giles]

08 plates? I didn't know R27 were still making till 2008.

 

[Glen]

I guess so

That 5 year warranty has been more than worth while having then mate. I'm sure it was thounsands, so you have got your money back a bit in one sence anyway.

Pleased to see her back on the road and raring to go!! She does look good.

Cheers,

Chris :thumbup:

I'd hazard a guess it was a 07 plate if the build number is that low and its been changed to that plate because the owner said it was sold by a scoobie dealer and the numberplate now kinda says scoob.. could be totally wrong and it was one of the last ones registered though

Glad the cars back and running

5 weeks with the car must have been torture... didnt notice the plate said scob, I saw boob. Lol

No mate, you are totally wrong.

It is a 08 plate.

I was the first registered owner of this car, it was the last R27 to be registered in the UK.

I sold the car in 2009 to a guy from wales, when i sold it it had 28k.

Glen PM me if you want any other details - i can fill you in all i know until i sold it.

I know this car, it was somebodys on here and was very well looked after, he sold it on the forum after he lost his job if i remember correctly. From about 2009 it turned up for sale in Renault Liverpool, It didnt sell (Overpriced) and was transfared to Renault Wirral where it sold after about 2 months. About 1 1/2 years later i seen it on autotrader for sale in Glasgow. Shame it needed a rebuild, and it may have been mine if it wasnt 2k overpriced in Renault Liverpool!
