bitman Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 checked the rear diff oil level. filler plug didn't want to come off not even with my torque wrench at 210Nm! :o no worries used my new Milwaukee tool and in setting 3 the filler plug came off. just shows how bad those so called dealers are (my06 has fully service history) level was just a bit over filled and the oil needs a change but couldn't get the right oil that quick so next week job 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoozyDave Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 I bought a mangle 2 weeks ago, but it had the handle missing. So today I made a handle for it and plain'd the bow out of the rollers. It will make it easier washing the car, I just need to get my finger out now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james26 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 It seems to be any 2000 impreza parts fit a forester around the same year..but don't hold me to that I'm still experimenting lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted June 8, 2014 Author Share Posted June 8, 2014 Any classic decat down pipe should fit, just make sure you get one the correct length to delete the pair some down pipes are shorter. Could always look into just removing the 2nd one not sure which bits would fit as I think the 3rd section is slightly different to the impreza. Got any mates wuth classics close to to you that you cold measure parts ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a 2.5XTE auto facelifted Foz registered just before the high tax bracket kicked in....nav, leather the works. It's what I'm after at the end of the day, but only if the price is right. I wouldn't re-visit this car now on that basis. Fate can be a funny old girl at times.....within 15 mins of finding out, the postie delivered news of a successful PPI claim :D My wife's gonna hate me haha :o 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
