Hi guys, Recently got a 2018 Outback and am absolutely loving it! My only small issue is it has a tiny bit of what looks like water damage on the screen but after reading some posts of reddit, a lot of people refer to these issues as bubbling or delamination. I spoke to Halfords this week about a protential replacement unit but they cannot do it as they do not have the correct cables for models with built-in navigation apparently. Has anyone successfully acheieved replacing

My 2001 Impreza STI has been written off after someone pulled out on me on a 60mph road, I have been put through to a supposed specialist for Subarus who have deemed the car to only be worth scrap value, £6430. Does anyone know a better evaluator for cars of this era as this is just blatantly incorrect considering it had only done 68,000 miles and was in perfect condition. I have attached a before and after of the car for reference so I don't look mad

I have a 2019 petrol XV with software version Rel2.17.43.20 and want to know the latest version please. I have tried OTA updates but the car will not connect to WiFi, so want to know if it is worth persevering with a software update

Hi, new here so be nice please! I have a 2019 XV - only done 20k. Key fob battery lasted for the first 3 possibly 4 years, but now i'm having to change it every 6 - 8 months as it keeps telling me it isn't detected or I stand there like a lemon shaking my key before it lets me in. There must be such a thing as a receptor within the car - is it possible that's the problem? Can it just be cleaned, if so where is it? Thanks

Hi - My 2008 2.0l Hatchback Impreza RX has really poor headlights. Dealership told me that they were "as they should be" (?) So I'm looking to upgrade them. I'd like to put a Lightbar on it, but thats imposible with the body shape. Been looking at Morimoto XB and they look really good. Sent email and asked if they could confirm the system was UK compliant - this was their reply . . . All of our XB lights are designed for and tested on US spec vehicles. I do not believe they would be UK complian

Yes I had an Alpine unit fitted, now get video, car play and all that goes with it ,sat nav etc. the only thing I have lost is the cars built in voice control, can use Siri for most things including messages and phone use so no major loss. I an send you the part details if you wish.

Really sorry to hear that. I would of thought it should be worth £15 / £16k. Who was it insured with so I know to avoid them.

I previously had a 2010 RX but I don't think it was a problem on that year of car. I do remember it being an immediate problem with my current Impreza (i.e. having to recharge the battery before I could start it one morning) which p1zzed me off. Battery too small ( 65Ahr as designed) for all the electronic junk on the car. The current fob has a ridiculously long range, 80 to 100 metres which I don't think was the case with the older car. I wouldn't worry about the it if you don't have a problem, but my understanding of the 2019 system is that unless in 'sleep' mode', the car and fob are actively looking for each other. I believe they communicate more often if in range of each other. I also find it very easy to leave the new car unlocked if I'm still in range and put the keys in my pocket and accidently press the raised unlock button !! I am happy to be corrected if someone has solid evidence of it being otherwise.
