Had my Forester serviced by Tim Farmer today. Great job as always. Cam belt and full service done. Just as well as damaged cam belt because of poor previous fit. Did however highlight rear near side bearing and drive hub will need replacing asap as lots of play. Now need to find both for a fair price.

Try import car parts Phil - I've just replaced both of my Outback rear wheel hubs with one's from them. They are based in County Durham but have a website you can order through

Cheers, Will do David. Will wait to call them as they do not have the 2.5 forester one. They do have a 2.0 Impreza WRX one. Not sure if that's the same. Typical, rear seems more expensive than the front kit. A lot of play in it though so needs doing.

Spent the best part of 12 hours fitting coilovers and then putting oe back on 😬😬😬 ride was way too low and bouncy as hell. Don't have the patience to fiddle anymore so they're gonna be going up on eBay and here. Today I have learnt that coilovers are not for me. We learn by our mistakes and Atleast this only cost me a day rather than £100+

Ghost have you tried stiffening them up with the damper setting?

Nick , nice choice bud [emoji41].

unfortunately the ally and silicone pipework I needed didn't turn up so I couldn't fit the turbo and parallel rails [emoji53].

So I changed the oil and filter , fitted the new Brembo bleed nipples and re bled the brakes .

The Elizabeth wasn't much help ,as per normal she just kicks my spanners n sockets everywhere and sleeps in my way [emoji4]

Yeah we had a little play with dampness but I had lost interest. It was too low anyway. Needed the car ready and drive able today which with coils on it just wasn't. 83c8ff95e8655e769360db97d316e0c4.jpg picture showing rear before front was done. Quite a drop.

@matt how come you have gone back to standardish power?

@aucky ive got a set if halos sat in my boot waiting to be fitted but my brother in laws daughter has been ill for a bit so not wanted to pester.

Was driving around today and on the way home my girlfriend took a nice picture...

The wife is at work until 2, which has left me in the dangerous position of continuing with this. Already having to reign myself back in from thinking how I could possibly do it.

She will not be happy with me lol
