Sounding like i`m going to need a n/s driveshaft, the CV joint has just started clicking :huh: 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.

I like to be as helpful as I can, at least now you can rule me out of having anything useful to contribute [emoji4]

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]

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. I've seen a few cars advertised who've used these folk for their mods

Have you seen this guy changing a cv axle. This is how I did mine with the aid of a £40 impact wrench from machine mart

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

That's the thing....white cars and winter roads don't mix.

Such a shame as they look great when freshly cleaned too [emoji106]

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]

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 :)

lol yeah, 60 mile round trip for me too. 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.

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.

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!

Mine looks as bad as that every time after I've cleaned. All the tractors pulling the side of the road up [emoji20]

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]

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.
