All prices in the UK for second hand have gone stupid this year...

Welcome and hope you find a good car for you to enjoy.

Hello and welcome

Hi, hope you enjoy the new to you car. looks good. Andy

I don't know what it could be, but I hope somebody can help on here. Also you could posting your query on other general Subaru forums to reach a bigger audience. Good luck Andy

I hope you enjoy the new car.

Thanks, I thought about them, but will see how it goes with the dealers first to ensure no warranty issues further down the line.

Thanks for the replies. I had to phone the dealers direct, still never had a reply to my website enquiries. I have decided to go with Richtoy near the Humber bridge in October and give them a try. They were about £60 cheaper than Sheffield.

My first dealings with Subaru through their website. I sent a request to my two nearest dealers a day and a half ago through the website asking for a quote for the first service. Not a single reply. Not a good start... Hopefully their service is better than their communications. Andy

New Levorg with self levelling LED headlights. Not had an issue with mine so far. Sometimes coming over a brow or going over bumps they seem a bit slow to adjust, but not had anyone flashing me.

Hi and welcome to the site. Real nice car.

DPF/EGR worries and past problems made me change to petrol as well. I know loads of people who have had issues including myself and my son.

I have just changed from a diesel Insignia tourer to a petrol Levorg with CVT. The Insignia averaged around 45 mpg on diesel. I'm averaging around 36 or 37 with the petrol Levorg for the same type of driving (Mixed town and country). I can get over 40 on a long journey. I'm quite happy with that as it is petrol and permanent four wheel drive. I used to have an Audi A6 with a DGT gearbox and find the CVT is smoother than that once you get used to it. It does seem to rev high overtaking and on steep inclines. But as that is only about 5% of the time in the 95% of normal driving the car is extremely smooth and quiet. Hope this helps. Andy

I have just changed from an Insignia Tourer Elite to a Levorg. The car is new so as you would expect no bills as yet. However I'm loving having a Subaru. There is just something about it and having something different.

I don't know about an Outback workshop manual but I found an online Legacy manual which may come in handy for certain items. http://www.sulegacy.com/subaru_legacy_service_manual-653.html

and a good reg.

Looks the business, nice one...

OK, many thanks

What was the cost for the oil change? Thanks

I put Michelin Cross Climate on my wife's Insignia and had them on my last company Audi. Great tyres, don't think I would buy anything else now. Unfortunately as I have a new car I will have to wait a while and run the stock Dunlops down for a while yet...

My Levorg shows the CVT gearbox is sealed for life but does need regular oil changes if used for towing which is a pain but is what it is. Having a look it appears to have a transmission oil cooler fitted as standard. (At least it has a small radiator with two pipes going to the transmission which I presume is an oil cooler) It is a 2.0 non-turbo. Andy

Not sure about the Outback but in the Levorg the switch is on panel on the roof near the rear view mirror.

Fitted a spare wheel. I picked up a full size wheel and tyre (same size 18" tyre as my Levorg) for only £40 GBP. It fits on my car and in the wheel well in the boot perfectly. The wheel came of a Mazda 6 Sport. I made a securing clamp out of a piece of threaded rod and a sink plug holder I had in the garage to fix it in.

The drains on the Legacy are here but I think you may have to remove the headlining to reach them. May be worth having a poke round with a bit of stiff wire.

I have had a reply from Subaru UK regards my Levorg service intervals email to them. They say all petrol UK models are 12,000 miles or 12 months regardless of what the car handbook says. That will do for me as I now have it in writing from them. Happy with that. Andy
