Sorted the xenon bulbs - now both 6000K ones but I dropped a protective cap down into a hole above the fog lamp - sounded like it was never going to stop lol.... so I need to recover that somehow.
Booked in for timing belt change along with new idlers and water pump for Β£360, does that sound a decent price?
Hi and welcome from another newbie.
I like your choice of engine - I have to keep the costs down so I've not gone any bigger than 2.0.
Hope you find what you're looking for and yes a Subaru has a lot of personalityπ
Autotrader or Gumtree etc have smaller independent trader adverts - just a quick search found this one in Glasgow for example - https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201808309979515 - I have nothing to do with this seller of course.
Hi Wulbert,
I just picked up a 2.0 XS auto 2008, FSH, full MOT,106000 miles for just under Β£4000... it needs a couple of things doing but I'm loving the car. Maybe you could find one a bit cheaper than Β£7800 ?
A few jobs to sort with the new to me Forester,
The timing belt was changed at 45K miles but there's no mention of a further change in the service history - now at nearly 106K miles.
The drivers door check strap isn't working so the door swings back if I don't keep hold of it.
One HID bulb has a blue tint and the other doesn't so I guess that might be annoying to other drivers
Other than that the car is all working and lovely to drive π
Hello everyone, I'm picking up a 2008 Forester this weekend so here I am joining up ...I hope I can contribute a bit as well as ask a few questions along the way.
Hope everyone had a nice Christmas and all the best for 2019
Nice to meet you
Brack
