Hi all,

After years of window shopping, throwing money away leasing VW Touaregs and Audi Allroads, I've finally got around to buying my first ever Subaru... hopefully, the first in a long line.

I picked up my 2006 Forester XTE 2.5 turbo with 91,000 miles from Cymbran earlier today and enjoyed a cracking drive back to the West Mids. The seller kindly arranged to get the all important cambelt change done before I collected it. Part of the service history is a little on the sketchy side so it needs a little work (brakes, filters and fluids, mostly), however, it's an absolute belter and, so far, I love it. 

 

We'll see what the future holds :-)

 

Hello & welcome, hope you enjoy great news about the belts being done ! Feel free to get involved and some pics are always welcome when you've got sorted

Wotcha and welcome - we get a discount with Opie oils as part of forum membership so if you need to purchase the fluids they are a good place to start

Guys,

Thanks for the warm welcome and advice regarding Opie Oils. Have just registered with them and have started putting a shopping list together. 

I've just come across a Subaru specialist, Arden Bridge Services in Redditch, which is pretty close to me, but I can't seem to find any reviews on them. 

Has anybody ever used them before? Any recommendations?

Thanks again. :-)
