Quick hello

[halfram]

Hi All.

Just bought a very old (52 plate) Forester with 92k for £1200

interior reeks of cannabis, remote locking does not work. Other than that its the perfect doggy car.

Will blitz the interior to make it bearable and hopefully a new Battery will sort remote.

I hope to give as much as possible to the forum with my experiences of ownership.

Welcome to the club! 52 plate is a youngun. There are some car air cleaners you set up, lock them in the car and leave it for 30 minutes or so. They're meant neutralise any bad odours and give a fresh scent.

Sorry for late update but....

live it so much I have sold my merc c350 as never use it ( this was supposed to be the dog car only). 

Smell tracked to leaking sunroof wetting the roof lining and going stale. 

Not worked out how to seal it yet. Maybe just Vaseline on the seal?

had to have full exhaust at massive cost as CAT fell apart when trying to change mid section. 

Got key fob working intermittently but so painful I just use the key. 

Need to fit a new Stereo really and now need a washer pump. Seen on eBay for next to nothing. Are these the right things to buy?

also. Not got an owners manual so just ordered one off eBay £12

whats the little key pad down to the right of the steering wheel???
