I have a problem when starting my 2012 XV diesel after a long-ish run. i.e., when the engine has been fully warmed up—when I come back to the car, it sometimes makes a rather unpleasant sound when I turn the key and start it. It sounds to me as if the starter motor may not be engaging correctly. The car has never failed to start, and it doesn't require turning the engine over a lot. Has anyone had experience of this?

Hey guys, just after some reassurance that the Fuji timing guide I fitted has enough clearance as it's much tighter than OEM on the left side. It won't sit any higher than you can see, so is that by design?

Hi, I have just bought a 2017 Subaru Forester XT. I was looking to get a full sized spare wheel to replace the space saver spare wheel. However, the Subaru dealer has told me that it will not fit in the wheel well in the boot, even partly. I have posted on the American Subaru forum and someone with a 2014 Subaru Forester XT has confirmed that a full sized spare tyre will not fit in the boot. They have fitted a swing out tyre carrier to their car. They have said that you will need a trailer hitch

Hi. The car is a 2008 Legacy estate 3.0R auto. 84,000 miles. Heated leather, sunroof, tow bar. Alloys reburbished a while ago - 3 are as new, 1 has a minor scuff. Spare set of Subaru wheels with winter tyres. Owned by my uncle and now aunt since 2011. One former owner. Some wear to front carpets but otherwise mint interior. Headlights slighly misted. Two small dents and some scratches to rear bumper. Most of the history and handbook were lost during a recent house move but some service receipts

Hi guys, I’m looking for advice, I’m just wondering how much my December 2017 3.6r (flat 6) gunmetal grey/black Subaru Outback is worth, I’ve just brought it back from Oz 6 months ago, it’s in excellent condition with only 55k miles on it. Full service history, zero rust, leather interior, just passed all import and mot government paperwork. Good tyres, privacy tint etc. The reason I’m asking as I can’t find ANYTHING like it in the UK, they are all a lot older or have the little engines in them
