May 31, 201510 yr Just washed it and had people comment in how clean it looked [emoji4] Beats the usual "you can clean mine next" comments you get . They always look smug like they're first person to have ever thought of the joke. Nobs Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
May 31, 201510 yr Today I will hopefully be undoing the last few bolts and getting my engine out, ready to put the new one in tomorrow. I've also just put my new engine hoist together... It looks quite good sat in the front room.
May 31, 201510 yr Author Not much driven to shops and back, still waiting for pads and brace to arrive [emoji35]
May 31, 201510 yr I've been cleaning my engine bay with a toothbrush and some Autoglym engine cleaner - good stuff
May 31, 201510 yr Ghost I got my depo 4 in 1 from dave @prolex I think ,dunno if he still sell em though I've used a fair bit of that autoglym machine cleaner tom during my fettling, its good stuff seeing as it's water based and rinses off easy . As for me these turned up today so I know what I'll be doing the next free day I do get [emoji4] and my S's pistoned 4 pots will be up for sale shortly after [emoji6]
May 31, 201510 yr Cheers savage. I'll look into them.No problem bud Dunno if their in stock but here you go http://prolex-uk.com/shop/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&search_in_description=1&zenid=rc4lk901o3f019b6cpshgrtnd0&keyword=depo+gauges+&x=0&y=0
May 31, 201510 yr Sweet. Had a look it's £35 more expensive with prolex than I found on the bay. EBay seller is out of stock for 3 weeks. I'll get in contact with prolex. I don't have patience for these type of things [emoji23] [emoji23]
May 31, 201510 yr I'm having trouble ordering it from the website and I had a look at the address. It's 20 minutes from my house. I'll call them tomorrow and maybe pop down on the way home.
May 31, 201510 yr Ok, called prolex and despite the website showing 13 in stock he says he doesn't stock them anymore and the error is to prevent him taking peoples money. Sounded like a good chap [emoji4] shame though.
May 31, 201510 yr I did buy mine through a local forum 3yrs ago but spoke with him then and he seemed like a nice fella ,shame he doesn't stock em anymore
May 31, 201510 yr Backed the forester up in the garage to change the pads, quite a tight fit, rear pads were the wrong ones, front, one side done no issue, round the other side, jacked it up and managed to tip it into the central garage door support without noticing and have creased the rear passenger door! Doh, silly narrow garage. :(
May 31, 201510 yr I'm currently in shock!!!!! I've been replacing the rainbow colours of silicone hoses in my engine bay. Bought the mishimoto ones in black and as I'm doing the job I trace some pipe that is open to air to find it bodged into the manifold. I remove and replace the mainfold vacuum hose to where it should be and once the offending pipe is removed I discover it to be garden hose in black electrical tape!!!!! Glad I'm sorting out the hoses now
May 31, 201510 yr Ouch sort of thing I think wevall hope not to see. Reminds me of a hawkeye I went to see. They had used a socket to cap of a hose filled swith some type of !Removed!. Soon as I see that I knee it was a walk away job. And when the sales assistant told me it was the bosses old car didn't help and then some bloke who clearly knew thr garage pulled up in an etype jag being proper cocksure of himself telling me that the price was spot on and they won't budge on it. I kindly said I'll leave it.
May 31, 201510 yr Just frustrating. Nice silicone I take hose and screws shoved in with tape to make a friction fit!!! Big decision now is what kind of coolant to put back in and if the missus is not looking a black intake hose in place of the blue
May 31, 201510 yr Well it's looking better anyway :) My missus is a qualified accountant takes some real James Bond type skills to sly cash past her lol
May 31, 201510 yr Love the idea of everyone have a second bank account to buy car parts. -- I make Films and Website for people
May 31, 201510 yr Author As long as it's not too shiny I'm alright, as my misses hasn't a clue about cars, just wondering how long it will take for her to spit the rear brace when I get it.
May 31, 201510 yr Its all about a second gadget fund account to get these things and a separate delivery address and an honest its always been there comment

June 1, 201510 yr Just frustrating. Nice silicone I take hose and screws shoved in with tape to make a friction fit!!! Big decision now is what kind of coolant to put back in and if the missus is not looking a black intake hose in place of the blue Get some waterless coolant, will never need to change it again unless you spring a leak.
June 1, 201510 yr I've been pondering what to do with the Subaru, while i've got two cars I could get it mapped with a new fuel pump and injectors. I've noticed it's popping quite a bit now, didn't used to do it this much so wondering if the map is bad?
