It's about time we revisited the list of Subaru specialist garages and repairers. PLEASE add to this list with who you would recommend as being honest, reliable and knows what they're doing with these specialist cars. Since Pro-Drive dropped off the scene for a while and dealerships closed there must be quite a few repairers around so if you can drop your recommendations in this thread we can work on collating 'the definitive list' Thanks

Just when you thought the head gasket issues and CVT failures had been sorted, along comes another Subaru F-up.   Seems like there is another class-action going on in the US too regarding this issue. https://www.subaruoutback.org/threads/thermo-control-valve-tcv-class-action-lawsuit-now-underway.562835/?post_id=6426666&nested_view=1&sortby=oldest#post-6426666   Don't worry though, it's not effecting the turbo engines only the naturally aspirated.  How!

Cleaned engine bay Cleaned the MAF sensor

Where in uk I can find second hand gear box for my manual forester 2010 petrol. It was making this clunking sound when in lower speed but it turned out is not the cv joint but the gearbox. I have been looking for gear boxed last few days but couldn’t find any. I did find the whole drive train- all the shafts and the gear box plus all the differentials but it was for the previous year forester and not sure it will work.
