Does anyone know where i can but the rear wheel hub bearing to fit this car i am wanting full hub not just bearing thanks

The biggest issue will be your age rather than import or not. glad you got it sorted though

I recently commissioned a rebuilt engine on a classic Fiat and the first thing I did was to write a list in stages. Stage 1 - check all fluids, turn engine by hand for a few cycles, see if there is spark and fuel there. Stage 2 - Ensure battery is charged, disconnect coil so no spark, watch for fuel spraying through into engine Stage 3 - Assuming no noises or locking up the connect coil and turn over to ensure oil light extinguishes and hopefully the engine fires up....switch off almost immediately to check for leaks and any other checks you can do Good luck

Third-generation (1998–2004) Subaru Legacy models typically use H7 or H4 bulbs for low/high beams, depending on the specific headlight design (projector or reflector). Key bulb sizes includeH1/H7/H4 for headlights, 1156/PY21W for turn signals, and P21/5W for tail lights. There is also a site which lists in more detail the size and specs of the bulbs https://www.powerbulbs.com/vehicles/cars/uk-ireland/subaru/legacy-gen3/1998-2004/car-headlight-bulbs

I've recently (November last year) brought a subaru legacy 1999. I'm looking for advise as to wheres best to get parts. In particular im looking for the limited style bumper (front and back), I have had a look online and fb market place but am unable to find any or i just keep missing them. Please let me know if anyone is selling them. The car is white but I dont mind what colour as im planing to get the whole car resprayed at some point anyway. Thanks in advance!

Hi. If you needed any help with insurance at all then please feel free to drop me a line. Regards, Dan.

Just gone out again on the last trip so I've ordered a replacement sensor.....

Don't think they have a seperate battery for the locks so if it starts theres plenty of power. If the battery died did it leak or corrode the contacts? Did you replace it with a rechargeable one? iirc they get charged while in the ignition How long they last will also depend on how much you use it of course.

Not sure, but worth checking the tyre sizes are all exactly the same dimensions, tyre pressures good and tread wear even before going any further into replacing parts or expensive garage bills

Now sold to a happy buyer who drove it home !

That would make sense I suspect I'll investigate further.....thanks!

I have an Outback R Auto estate - variant BPE - version 5K0, is a 3000cc petrol, 2004 model. The fan went caput back in November, waited a month for a used fan to arrive from Europe, had it fitted only to find out it too is U/S. The car is in good condition, 130k on the clock, and I hope to keep it running, but this is the first time I have struggled to find a part. If anyone has any ideas where I might get a fan, please let me know. Thanks Stuart

Do they actually use power/batterys or are they passive?

I'd have a look and see what is and isn't covered. Prob find wear and tear items arnt, like brake pads/disks, battery, tyres etc etc Beyond that its a tad pot luck, could be you pay £700 and never need to use it, you could not pay it and get a bill. I would def still get breakdown cover either way, but can always go direct to a provider as mentioned above.

While it might be a 'special' car, other than differing bolt on parts and body panels, there's nothing really mechanically special about it compared to a normal 2 door impreza. So really depends how true replica you want it to be. Bearing in mind you can spec it however you want, closed deck 2.5 and 6 speed is my personal favourite :D Start point will be finding a Type R body shell and getting that into a decent condition then the usual building the shell up form there. Don't expect it to be a cheap either, I would budget 50k at least assuming new parts + shell.

Hi pete. U still got ghe forestets. I. From longbenton. Just recently got an auto

The newer car you own the more problems/pain and cost you will have to endure . DPF GPF are far from miracles of environmental gain, sure the particulate count can look amazing but if you review total environmental effect in terms of system parts manufacture, constant maintenance/service products to keep it functional along with fact you got to drive pointless miles to keep it working and fact that DPF & GPF are a big factor of the reason modern car mpg hasn't really improved in a big way in last decade and a half you can start to calculate that in reality you doing sweet FA to benefit all round world pollution . The reality is even worse than this as particulate filters are nothing more than a collection bin for particulates and if you evaluate the emissions during regen which is basically dumping this bin out on the motorway it an absolute environmental disaster coming out the tail pipe hidden behind marketing bullshit and engineering stupidity to beat incompetently thought out emission legislation .

NOW SOLD.

Hi hope this is ok to post. Not sure if anyone would be interested but I have a number plate for sale S555 SEG, curently on a certificate. Contact me of you're interested.

I’m fixing up an gc8 type uk and I’m wondering if anyone has this part as there is none on eBay or anywhere else?

Hello, I am also in Fife and also have a Subaru 1.6 Lineartronic! I’m in Leven. I just got it. How are you finding it? Are you worried about rust at all? I would like to get mine sealed and protected.

welcome!

Just replace with a decent panel filter will be the best option, plenty of flow capacity. Only reason they are worth changing is if you got a front mount, then its more fitment that capacity.
