Hi all, I have a 2006 2.0 non turbo forester that's having constant electrical issues at the moment. It started when the secondary air pump caught fire. We replaced this but the wiring failed and it started smoking again. Have since replaced the alternator but the new auto electrician doesn't want to re-connect the air pump without stock plugs. I have no idea how to find this part - could anyone help me out please? I know that i can just leave the pump disconnected but it seems to be impacting the performance and fuel economy a lot. Thanks.

My 2.0 rx best was 30 mpg driving steady with some motorway miles, around 27 mpg around town and local, it has a pipercross panel filter and a hayward scott exhaust.

Welcome! I also have an Outback and I had exactly the same problem with air noise: it was a poorly positioned gasket at the level of the rearview mirror, easily adjusted with a little thin insulating foam. For the noise on the glove compartment side, I had to wedge the rear with adhesive felt, it was indeed a side game that hit bumps or cornering. Nothing serious, but annoying, I understand you! Otherwise, great car, even if the consumption stings a little in essence.

Hi all, I just moved to the UK from the Netherlands with my 2019 Crosstrek (which I purchased at the time I lived in the Netherlands). To get it registered in the UK, I need to pass the MOT. To pass the MOT, I need to adapt the head lamps. I've got the US Limited edition, which has the LED SRH headlights and eyesight. I've been trying to find out what the partnumber is for the UK (right hand drive) head lamps, I think it's 84913FL120 (right) and 84913FL130 (left), would anyone be able to confirm that I got that right? I've reached out to a UK Subaru dealership, but unfortunately they haven't been very helpful up to now. I think the head lamps are manufactured by ICHIKOH. Would anyone in possession of an XV with the LED headlights be able to check the ICHIKOH code of it? It's visible on top of the head lamp unit, where it is bolted onto the car (mine says ICHIKOH 1964). Also I've been in touch with my garage in the Netherlands, they said they could order the 84913FL120 (although he mentioned when he looked at his catalogue, it got renumbered), but it was rather expensive. He suggested to see if a used parts supplier in the UK might have a unit like this on offer. Does anyone have some goot recommendations? Thanks for any help that can be given!

Hi. I have just come into possession of a Subaru Impreza R auto hatchback (1st reg 2007) with a guaranteed mileage of 35,000. It's a lovely car to drive, in good condition and is taxed and MOT'd but is no longer required. Would appreciate any advice on selling the car.
