No definitely a problem with the window. Goes down a few millimetres then clicks when you press up.
Took it out today for its first fast road run with my boy. We loved it but it has a violent shake on heavy braking so on reading the buyers guide it should be the cv joints?
Also the power steering pump belt keeps going slack which affects the turning on idle 
Welcome to the club.
Brake judder is probably disc run out.
Could be caused by a sticking caliper piston.
When you tighten the belt, do you have any adjustment left available? Belt could be stretched.

If you feel the brake judder through the steering wheel its the front discs. If there no vibration at the wheel its the rears 
would be best to replace all 4 as run out is generally caused by heavy prolonged braking, the pads wouldāve been well and truly cooked.
Yes, I think the belt is at fault. I bought the cam belt kit and alternator belt thinking it ran everything else. The mechanic said he tightened it up after doing the cam belt and water pump but now I have bought a belt for the pump.
Disc brakes and pads next on my list.
I find it odd to be driving at 30mph in third because it doesnāt like going in fourth driving steadily at 30mph.
lol 2nd gear = 70 3rd is for over that

Well Iāve replaced the powersteering belt. The one from ebay was too small and the one from the local motor factors was too big so the tensioner is all the way and canāt go now further, but no more jerky turning on idle and in fact it runs better too, but Iām still not happy with the fact the tensioner is on all the way so might have to get another belt. any recommendations?
Also with the change in the weather I must get the passenger window sorted because it doesnāt move and it leaks if it rains because its not in the full closed position. It must be siezed up. It just clicks.
Looking at the front discs the pads are not gripping it fully so will be replacing them with new discs and pads. Just the front for now as Iām on a tight budget.
Does anyone have the same problem as me? Impreza guys with attitude problem or other owners trying to prove they have a better car than me even if itās a 1.4 with some silly jap can on the back or some flashy top of the range Audi or similar?
Itās only a car I mean. Sure itās quick and sounds good but I donāt drive around showing it off. I donāt even drive with my hand on the top of the wheel like I got a broken seat. Never have done in my 20 years of driving.

as a now impreza guy i suffer the same problem myself 
seems alien to people i just want to pootle around at my own speed withought having to prove what it is .
I dont bother in this nor rarely in my GTO as quick as mine was there was always going to be something quicker and i would rather them waste their fuel than mine .
That said if there is nobody around and im on my own on the road im more than happy to have a play

Sorted my passenger window. The top white plastic bracket had broken into several pieces. Now workingā¦ Sourced a 2nd hand drivers hub. Hopefully will get me through the MOT.
