WRX unreliable, L series FTW!

Post by AndrewT » Sat Oct 04, 2008 1:57 am

This arvo at about 5pm my mate called me cause his car was dead, wouldn't start and he couldn't drive home from work.
We diagnosed it as a dead fuel pump.
Nothing for it but to tow it all the way home with the trusty L series...

Damn unreliable later models! :)
