Bud Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Hello just browsing through these posts can anybody give me any info or where to start looking for any other subframe alternatives to my 2004 forester or should I just get a bus pass ?

stuartie Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Hello and welcome to the club cant really help with your problem unfortunately but i'm sure they could be changed so you could probs get a 2nd hand one from a breakers yard or ebay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bud Posted December 19, 2016 Author Share Posted December 19, 2016 The weather up here is at it, am I allowed to say it's too "warm" funny enough I've not been in the hydro yet, being in the zimmer age group noo it's no gigs I go to now it's casual get togethers, I'm (53) and a good night oot is just a distant memory. Oh when I was a boy. No sign of a subframe yet the mot is due end of January. I was on eBay last night and there's one for sale (56) this time, from the same guy. Very strange.( ?) I mean another forester in mint condition with 12 months mot, just like the one we bought 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bud Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 Hello, I was on another web site and it had the wee ant crawling about and I immediately tried to squash it, then I remembered I had seen it on this forum, oh technology it's great, never too old to learn, no fool like an old fool, etc they all apply to me doh.

Bud Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 Our forester ( 2004 awd X 2.0 ) passed its mot today ! Lucky there was no feathers about it would have knocked me doon! Advisory points but, rear subframe rust, brake pipes, seat belt anchor points all with insignificant corrosion. So we live to fight another day. Saying that I got to put petrol ⛽️ in it. Then the wee wummin promptly kicked me to the kerb. Wummin are so kind, generous, warm hearted, etc if I only knew one. Eeeekkkkk, I am determined to catch the wee ant at the bottom of these posts. Keeps me happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
