Foresterpeej Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Hi guys, Just new to the forum and the owner of a 1996 Forester (purchased today!) i don't know much about it but it seems quick! I believe it to be an import as the indicators are on the right hand side of the steering wheel and the dash clocks are in Km's..! I would appreciate any advice on what to check...? Many thanks.

Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Hi, thanks for the welcome guys :-) I am new to the world of the Forester having had mostly Impreza's before. I am after things like dial conversions kph to mph, what to check and watch out for (no service history at all but has had new cambelt done recently!) and what I can do myself to ensure she's running in tip top condition. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Essentially all the advice & knowledge you've harvested from impreza ownership will apply to the foz, Major differences are shocks & spring rates for the extra weight the foz carries over the impreza, and the exhaust is slightly different in the back section, You could get a set of UK clocks from a breakers or just do what the people who did my mph conversion did and just stick some leccy tape over the 'k' on the clock [emoji23] Rusty arches and fuel filler necks etc etc Apart from that I'd change all fluids plugs filters etc for peace of mind.
