We've been rumbled!! For ages I have kept Cassie unawares of what goes on here by saying things like "Its only boring stuff like transmission operating temperatures and the precise length of the hex nut thread that was the subject of fourteen Subaru of America recalls and, ohh, even better, exchanging details on the ampage of..." - at this point, she rolls her eyes, mutters about neglecting her, spending all my time on the net and off to the doghouse I go.

That it is not like that, and is fun, has been discovered by our better halfs...woe is us!!

Re: 000,000K's

David

I don't think that the fuel gauge error is unique to the SVroomX. We have encountered this in one of our Liberty's. I also had a simular problem in a Leonne Wagon which seemed to fix itself and ran true for an other 100,000 k's or so. I get a little un-nerved by things that fix themselves.

The worst that I've come across is the one in the Ford Falcon! This car is only 3 months old and quite often when driving the needle will drop down to empty and the bells will start ringing every few minutes. Frightend the thingys out of me first time it happened. After doing about 20 or 30 k's the gauge will then climb to full weather empty or not and then settle somewhere between the two. Personally I think that it can't make up it's mind as to weather it's a fuel or tempeture gauge.

On the subject of strange things and the car, my wife is sending me off to the eye doctor, she thinks my eyes keep drifting to the right, usually in the direction of the car. Have you developed a simular problem.

It was good to catch up with you yesterday, keep in touch.

Kenn

Hey, wot's this??

We pride ourselves on being an equal opportunities site, anyone, male or female, can spend hard earned cash on an SVX, and then log on here and cry with the rest of us as we flush the readies down the loo while keeping various tranny and bearing companies in s and in business.

But it is absolutely unethical to come on here masquerading in the persona of a male member. {Wait, maybe I'll rephrase that}

I mean, we could be answering innocent looking questions about how we managed to come home with a 140 mph car "for the shopping", or explain how to get expensive parts from Japan or the US on the "other" credit card, and drop some poor soul deep innit.

Karen, you will have to get your own identity.

Joe

Karen here,
Sorry boys,didnt mean to interfere with the guy thing, guess Ill just take my Chrysler voyager with its heated front seats , second row bucket seats and doors that open automaticaly { and the 4 screaming kids that come with it } and go back to shopping... just thought it would be nice to experience what you all talk about.... the comfort, the freedom on the road , feel the power when you put your foot down, touch and smell the leather.... but alas i get to look at the car, not even a whiff of leather, guess its back to dreaming... maybe Ill get my own SVX one day.... maybe yellow??? though red might be faster.....


damm caught on here again.... thats it... delegated kitchen duties indefinately.... guess this is good bye... nice knowing you....enjoy your cars... bye

You are welcome on any time, Karen. Just joking.

Nice to have a feminine perspective on things.

Must admit, the SVX is a great car for driver and front passenger, but that's it. No luggage room, no shopping room, kids don't fancy the back for long journeys.

However, the sybaritic pleasure of a drive down fast roads, in any weather, climate control keeping things civilised, difficult to beat this car as a driving experience.

Joe

Brilliant!!!

I had to tell fibs about the ebay purchases that I made....

"oh, this ratty ol thing?? Err..about $10"

Then trying to shut people up: "OMG!!! A PRE-RELEASE MANUAL....I SAW THAT ON EBAY FOR $100 AND THEY WERE STILL BIDDING" - whack - "Oh, thats right, there were two...you got such a bargain James unlike that other person who spent over $100"

Red face

See, James, I am just trying to save people a few red faces.

Hey, if you are used to thinking on your feet, you might like this one:

The Lettuce
A man walked into the produce section of his local supermarket and asked to buy half a head of lettuce.The boy working in that department told him that they only sold whole
heads of lettuce.

The man was insistent that the boy ask his manager about the matter. Walking into the back room, the boy said to his manager, "Some w*nker wants to buy a half a head of lettuce."

As he finished his sentence, he turned to find the man standing right behind him, so he added, "And this gentleman kindly offered to buy the other half."

The manager approved the deal and the man went on his way. Later the manager found the boy and said, "I was impressed with the way you got yourself out of that situation earlier. We like people who think on their feet here. Where are you from, son?" "Essex, sir," the boy replied.

"Well, why did you leave Essex," the manager asked. The boy said, "Sir, there's nothing but wh*res and football players there." "Really?" said the manager, "My wife's from Essex."

The boy replied, "No sh*t. Who does she play for?"
