AndyBigwood Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 Hey Guys, I'm Andy from Addlestone - bought my first (98)Forester back in October '17, and loving it! First time I've felt compelled to buy axle stands and get under a car since owning a veedub camper back in the early '80s! My '98 Forester is a manual petrol non-turbo, with 78K on the clock. I use it for work, and to keep costs down, want to do as much work on it as I can before phoning the local mechanic. As you may notice from the pic, we have a sagging butt, and that is with coil assistors fitted, so next major purchase will be some ezyfit suspension units. Good to be here.
