majik_thighs Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Sounding like i`m going to need a n/s driveshaft, the CV joint has just started clicking usually cheaper to buy a whole shaft from a breaker.....Ive had the same with my other lady`s in the past. There`s a place in Skelmersdale called Hills Salvage if anyone wants any hard to source parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majik_thighs Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Anyone know if the Outback/Legacy 3.0 shaft is the same as the 2.5? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogconker Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I like to be as helpful as I can, at least now you can rule me out of having anything useful to contribute [emoji4] Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I'm unsure about the compatibility tbh but if ever I need to find out if somethings compatible I cross reference the part numbers on a online subaru parts site (like importcarparts) [emoji6] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david1972 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Went to Revolution Motorstore (http://www.revolution247.com/) this afternoon for my full alignment. Pretty good service, will do a full write up over the weekend when I get the opportunity. Looking forward to reading this Tom.

stants Posted December 15, 2014 Author Share Posted December 15, 2014 My engine paranoia has returned, seems to be making a 'different' high pitched knocking sound, probably just the cold affecting both my mind and the engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogconker Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! :o It's all dirty, all this in one day, a quick trip to a site in Chester, looks like I'll be cleaning this weekend 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david1972 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 That's the thing....white cars and winter roads don't mix. Such a shame as they look great when freshly cleaned too [emoji106] Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogconker Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I think this had more to do with crappy country lanes and mud than winter salt. But yes it's going to be a long winter car cleaning [emoji6] Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_gr7 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I cleaned mine on Saturday. its dirty again now :( I have to use mine for work, costs me a bit but i can claim 52p per mile. Covers half of my monthly fuel bill though and i love showing off the Subaru :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to drive really steady, with no fast accelerating (unless required) and stick to 60mph on the motorways to save petrol. oh i turn the air con off too haha.

Dogconker Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I'm a bit lucky in that I technically work from home so I claim mileage wherever I travel too. Definitely hate that they salt the roads. Other country's you just have to have winter tyres it's much easier.

Gaulson Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 That's very true, the roads would last so much longer as well if we didn't salt the roads! Annoying really :(. Boost sneaked up on me today when pulling out of a junction, got me a little sideways and put a smile on my face :P. Oh and Dog... your car is dirty!

Gambit Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Mine looks as bad as that every time after I've cleaned. All the tractors pulling the side of the road up [emoji20] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogconker Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 It's only as clean as it is because I drove 70 miles along the M6 in pouring rain which cleaned it up a bit [emoji39] Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom_gr7 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 One of my osram nightbreaker bulbs blew today, felt like a right knob driving home with one light... Couldnt see ****, so had to put my fogs on.... then realised I look like a fog light ******. :( luckily, i still had the old bulbs, so popped one of those in till i get some replacement bulbs.
