March 25, 20169 yr 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.

They are based in County Durham but have a website you can order through
March 25, 20169 yr 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.
March 25, 20169 yr 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+
March 25, 20169 yr Started mi mini service today.changed oil n filter.coolant.and rear diff oil.tommorow list is spark plugs,air filter and fit new head lights. Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk
March 25, 20169 yr 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] If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊
March 26, 20169 yr 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. picture showing rear before front was done. Quite a drop.
March 26, 20169 yr finishing gauges install today,was using the sandwich plate for oil sensor's as easy option,backfired on me as i ended up snapping the oil temp sensor off in the sandwich plate hole so half day wasted on that will do it the proper way now when av oredered new senor and stuff,you lean by yor mistakes i guess. @Jay762 stickers are good for atleast another 10bhp
March 26, 20169 yr ha ha yes they are - and having no turbo yet ill take anything I can get This should get me another 20
March 27, 20169 yr Think I need some mud flaps. From freshly clean to crap all up sides in one small journey.
March 27, 20169 yr Mines still sorn just sorted a load of parts , I've kinda stripped it down for now , I've gone back to standardish power !
March 27, 20169 yr fitted 2 sets headlights today,set morrettes in a bug wagon and a set of halo's in my blob,hope i dont regret fitting these halo's had a set before and build quality was not the best,but hated the hid conversion kit that was on and they do look nice

March 27, 20169 yr @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... I think she has a good eye 😊

March 28, 20169 yr Perving at a red hawk wrx [emoji7] lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 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
