  1. Yes plenty brute force just what you need when doing the job on the driveway!!!! NOT! 63k on the clock but that corner did take fair thump from a pothole just recently 🥺
  2. I can tell you without an air hammer you’ll be looking at 3-4hr job,plenty de block oil,hammering oh and swearing 😂 my dad and I replaced the n/s/r hub today and the old one looked like this when finished 🥵😳
  3. Panic over,Autowindscreens are dealing with it 😅 getting it fitted on Tuesday £60 xs. Happy with that considering how much that small piece of glass is.
  4. Yes mate trying the insurance route but autoglass are saying they’ve no stock even tho I’ve gave them Subaru part number and availability.......
  5. Ooofffttt priced this small vent glass today at AF Nobles.......AND £234 plus the vat. last resort me thinks😂
  6. Cheers pal,I’ve no checked anything yet but they certainly know how to loosen yer wallet😂
  7. Thanks pal,I really hope it’s not bonded😬 cheers
  8. Hi lads Any of you guys know where I can get a replacement rear vent window glass,drivers side as per pic? Mines is shattered,wee hole at the bottom right through aswell......I heard a right clatter like a stone hitting the car somewhere a few weeks back but could not see anything on inspection,ive only been out in the car a couple of time since then as ive had an operation. The car has been washed a few times since the infamous clatter but after a 20mile drive today the window is like a big spiders web :-( If its not from my incident a few back then it could be deliberate,kids with stones etc...... The cars booked in at AF Noble tomorrow so i'll ask them about replacement aswell.
  9. Right lads,its been a while since I was last on here but the link for putting the oil light after oil change is spot on.....thanks. I was also told buy a Subaru mechanic to use 5w30 oil c3 grade as this is compatable with the dpf and doesn't mess with the warranty. I work for dingbro and dont not use mann on my Subaru,i use the ADL Blueprint (size wise exactly the same as Subaru filter) a much better filter all round. My Last oil change was less than £30 but I get everything for my own car at cost.......Tomorrow however she's booked into AF Noble for a service (to keep up warranty) so I shall expect a nice wee bill,even though ive just replaced front and rear pads and had the H/brake adjusted etc lol. So anyone looking to change there own oil,If you have a low milage car 0w30 would be fine but a car with say 30k plus then 5w30 is recommended and follow the links regarding resetting the the oil dilution.
  10. All good lads after a visit to my local Subaru dealer, one of the noisey ticking sounds is the injectors and the other noise is the chain but only toutching the guides.....Remember these noises are only intermittent and not constant & the mechanic told me they are noisey engines but good engines!!! Happy with that😃
  11. Great stuff pal,think I'll be giving this a go very soon & I'll keep you all posted how I get on....... thanks again👍
  12. Chain on them buddy....
  13. Ahh rite interesting,does it when warm aswell...... think I may have to visit Subaru again😏 Its more like a chain type rattle if you know what I mean!
  14. Hi lads i know these Diesel engines can be a bit noisey but my engine has bit of a rattle at around 1200-1400k revs other than that it seems ok if I can upload a vid I will👍
