Good luck in your search - may need to widen it to European countries as well?

After 8 years you will prob wanna drain the fuel and put some fresh in before trying to fire it. 8 year old fuel is not exactly great lol

Varies depending on brand, spring rates etc what did you go for? Might be you need to soften them up a bit, roads are so crap now adays cant really go too hard with them without them being crashy.

This is a UK club but not many events for some time now - feel free to organise some if you wish and we'll see how many we can encourage to attend

Hi I’ve just replaced all four corners with new coil overs . I’ve set them to hard - 5 turns. Seems to hit a bump and passes it onto the car. What is the best setting for spirited road driving?

Hi James, if the car is still available my son might be interested. Do you have any more details on service history and condition etc. We had one from new (same year) and put 100K miles on it - great cars! Many thanks, Alistair

Hi, is there a UK owners club with events etc?

Hi I am a newish owner of a 2013 Impreza WRX sti. Been loving it ! Have an issue now though. The old battery gave up the ghost over Christmas/New Year. At that time I accessed the car by using the key in the driver’s door. Replaced it with a new one but the moment we connect it up, the alarm sounds. The neither key fob turns it off (have replaced their batteries and checked they are working). I have tried putting into the keypad the number we were given as the PIN and have also tried putting in the electronic security code. Neither of these seem to work. Any ideas please ?

This era of hub design does not have an installed bearing on hub option . Just buy a proper quality bearing kit such as KOYO NTN etc, if super tight budget you could go BluePrint bearing via Carparts in Motion (20% off until 2nd of feb so bearing kit is like £18.65) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/317689424380 You can do these on car using bearing removal/install kits such as linked below . https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/397362941519 Use these bearing kits with some sense and they can do the job, can struggle removing a real old rusted in bearing without the likes of a proper long barrel air hammer assist getting it moving . You going want lateral link bushes and bolt too on these unless you blessed with fresh import or one that had recent work done involving these parts. Subaru genuine bush and bolt kit is cheap ... Be careful buying parts off eBay as lot of the more off brand and no name parts are total junk and don't last or fit/function well . It hard enough buying quality these days from well known brands and even oem/original is not what it was decade or 2 ago . In the Automotive repair world good parts knowledge has become a must as using whatever !Removed! comes easy and cheap works out real bad ...

You could also try EuroCarParts for complete hub assembly

Thanks for that mate i have looked on ebay seems they only do just the bearing that needs pressing in so was hoping for full hub

Mostly eBay are a good source as you can match the selection of parts to your car

Does anyone know where i can but the rear wheel hub bearing to fit this car i am wanting full hub not just bearing thanks

The biggest issue will be your age rather than import or not. glad you got it sorted though

Hi , thank you everyone , sorry for the shockingly late reply ,and thank you all who replied to help , I have ended up with admiral still as everywhere else was less than before but still 3k+ a year or there was an age restriction . Turns out the first few people I was talking to there weren't acknowledging it was classed as a grey import ,still a horrendous price but it's...doable ,very much worth it though

I recently commissioned a rebuilt engine on a classic Fiat and the first thing I did was to write a list in stages. Stage 1 - check all fluids, turn engine by hand for a few cycles, see if there is spark and fuel there. Stage 2 - Ensure battery is charged, disconnect coil so no spark, watch for fuel spraying through into engine Stage 3 - Assuming no noises or locking up the connect coil and turn over to ensure oil light extinguishes and hopefully the engine fires up....switch off almost immediately to check for leaks and any other checks you can do Good luck

Third-generation (1998–2004) Subaru Legacy models typically use H7 or H4 bulbs for low/high beams, depending on the specific headlight design (projector or reflector). Key bulb sizes includeH1/H7/H4 for headlights, 1156/PY21W for turn signals, and P21/5W for tail lights. There is also a site which lists in more detail the size and specs of the bulbs https://www.powerbulbs.com/vehicles/cars/uk-ireland/subaru/legacy-gen3/1998-2004/car-headlight-bulbs

I've recently (November last year) brought a subaru legacy 1999. I'm looking for advise as to wheres best to get parts. In particular im looking for the limited style bumper (front and back), I have had a look online and fb market place but am unable to find any or i just keep missing them. Please let me know if anyone is selling them. The car is white but I dont mind what colour as im planing to get the whole car resprayed at some point anyway. Thanks in advance!

I'm helping a friend/family with his car (not mine). Due to circumstance his car has been stood without being started for 8 years. I recently removed one spark plug (the easiest one / what a PITA that was / is there a special plug spanner?). I put my endoscope camera in and all looked fine. I turned the engine over by hand and all felt 'smooth' and the timing belt didn't have any cracks where it had been sat on the pulleys (I have recommended that he gets it changed asap). I also recommend that he/we change the fuel but I'm not sure of the best or easiest way to do that so would be v/grateful for any advice on this or anything else that needs to be done? The last time I seriously delved into an engine they still had distributor caps and plug leads (might even had horses at the front)! :) I would be grateful for any advice.

Morning, Correct mileage is 142,000 :) Price: £749.99 ono Thanks, James

Hi All, I have a 2000 Subaru Legacy Blitzen, Can anyone tell me the light bulb sizes that would fit my gen 3 Legacy, please. Regards Niall

Code p0171

Don't remap until you find a cause of the check engine. Remapping can make the problem a lot worse. What codes did the garage pull from the ecu?

Engine management light is on all the time. Garage has tested everything he can and can't find anything wrong. He suggests getting car remapped. Is that the solution. I think it will just hide whatever is wrong. Any suggestions please Bob
