I planning to buy a 2017 Subaru Forester XT. I have been told that it has a space saver spare wheel. Has anyone fitted a full sized spare in the XT? I am planning to drive to some fairly remote places sometimes and would feel more secure with a full sized spare. I think I might have to raise the floor of the boot a bit, which I wouldn't mind doing. I think the wheels on the XT are a bit bigger than on a normal Forester? Also, does anyone rotate the tyres on their forester? Do you do this at home

I am planning on buying a 2017 Subaru Forester XT. From a Subaru dealer. I went to look at the car yesterday and had a test drive, I liked it a lot and am going to buy it. However, I am a bit concerned by something. I signed the sales agreement without reading it carefully. It says that Subaru take no responsibility for the alarm and immobiliser (it is Thatcham category 1). Stupidly, I did not check that these were working when I looked at the car. Is this something I should be concerned about

Thinking I might be better just getting rid as a rolling shell I have a spare dccd gearbox as well so might be a good project for someone. Really not sure how to go about pricing said beastie though. If anyone is interested or could give me a

Just an update. The Subaru dealer has told me that a full sized aluminium spare wheel from them would cost around £600! He told me that I could get full sized steel spare wheel a lot cheaper from somewhere else (not Subaru). David

Is this something I should be concerned about? Is this usually a part of the sales agreement when buying a used car from Subaru? The car is not Subaru approved (they said that it is too old), but has a 3 month's RAC guarantee. I am going to ring the dealer tomorrow and ask them to confirm that the alarm and immoboliser are working now. As when I ring my insurance company to arrange insurance they will ask about this. I accept that if it stops working in the future I would have to pay to fix it myself. Hopefully it is unlikely that it would not be working now. David
