Tried to polish my bonnet - between showers!! Arghh!!

Hi All, I'm really enjoying my membership, there are some really interesting threads to follow - great stuff. I have a newly acquired 2010 Legacy 2.5i SEn which, although I absolutely love, I'm afraid to say it's causing me some grief!! It has begun to stall!! From cold the car will start and run beautifully, it will pull away smoothly however, if I have to stop (before the engine is fully up to operating temperature) the engine will stall. I can restart the car with no problem and once operating temperature has been reached the car runs beautifully. Any thoughts, help or advice would be gratefully appreciated Kind regards David

Thank you ever so much for your response, much appreciated. Yup, gonna definitely try to get a full size spare Kind regards David

Yes, So I understand from looking at the site you directed me to. Seems there are a few manufacturers who use the same PCD Inc. VW. It's definitely allowed me to widen my search criteria so hopefully I can find something at a reasonable price. Once again, my thanks Regards David

Hi Jay762, Thank you very much for your response, it's greatly appreciated. Yes, I've checked it out and you are correct, thank you. OK, great, I can now go in search of a space saver, safe in the knowledge that it'll fit. Kind regards David

Hi All, I have a 2010 Legacy 2.5i with 18inch wheels. I would like to buy a space saver spare wheel with tyre (not sure if I trust the tyre weld can of jollop!!). Does anyone know if the 5 stud fixings are the same for all 18inch wheels or are there different patterns for different models/years etc? Any help gratefully received - thanks in advance Regards David

Ah, right, Thank you very much. I'll give it a try Wow, really glad I joined the OC, you guys are really helpful Thanks again David

Thank you for for the welcome - much appreciated. Thank you also for coming back to me so quickly, again, much appreciated. No, no switch evident anywhere - it seems the 'double locking' option whilst providing extra security also provides extra hassle!! Haha. Regards David

Hi All, Brand new to the OC so, apologies if this has been addressed before but, I've not been able to find anything relevant. I have a 2010 2.5 with double locking, which I have had for 2 days!! Does anyone know how you unlock the vehicle's passenger doors from inside the car with the engine running and the gear shift in Park please - it's got me foxed!! The only way I can see is to lean across and flick the lock button manually - the rear doors are (of course) more difficult!! Haha. Any help gratefully appreciated Regards David
