Subaru Newbie Turbo 2000
I agree you would have thought they would have picked up on it. :( But on a + side atleast you have less weight in the car to have to drag around

Can a 95 wrx import be run on unleaded
I know a couple of Subaru drivers that only run it on 95 they haven't had a problem. But there cars feel really flat and take an age to boost or feels like it maybe it's me. But high octane is all I will use anyway :)

does the sf have a low fuel warning light ?
As long as it's on the way to work when it runs out other wise you're wasting everyone's time :)

Battery Type - Central locking
Not sure if it's of any help but the one in mine is a CR1620 but I have an Impreza I don't think they would have changed the size. Oh and Welcome to S.O.C :)

You're meant to run it on high octane fuels like the Vpower it's better for the car really but the ECU will learn that you are putting in lower octane fuel :)

Ouch Ikea :( rather you then me. Yeah sounds like it I think the fozzers have a 60ltr tank. and from what I can see it leave's 9 ltrs in the tank before the light comes on as a reserve

File sharing
Does anyone use a free file sharing site like Mozy. I have over a gigs worth of owners and workshop manuals that I have gathered from around the web. And was looking for a free hosting site that supports rar and doc files that I can sign up to. And allows other's like yourself's to be able to download them. As you can tell it's not something I've done a lot of sharing. When I was just a kid about 6 years old I got a family size box of Maltesers and only gave one away to my mate and ate the rest, as you can tell I started to feel very unwell and began to do my chocolate exorcist forwarding projectile of vomit onto my already not so happy mate. So as a way to redeem myself I would like to be able to share these thing's and hopefully karma might leave me alone for a little while.

No thanks I don't know where you have been ;) I'd say copper too as it would mold if it need's to as you tighten up

Has the light come on yet then ? or are you not risking it ;)

Insurance
Best I've had was with Green light insurance but heard good thing from other clubs I have been in with KM. Just out of interest did you try the Club's insurance ? with Adrian Flux you should have got a 15% discount and had a few members come back with good feedback my father in law included.

Subaru Newbie Turbo 2000
I know I have some on mine. I think if you have the bug it's the only light's worth having even the Prodrive headlights don't look as good IMHO :)

I've had mine come on before it's about bang on with the bottom line when mine came on and still got 30 miles to the petrol station. not sure how much more I could have gone but I changed my fuel filter after that :)

Subaru Forester 2.5 XT - specs?
I think Tlag or MD Performance might be able to answer it better, but I think you can just remap the fozzers 227BHP to 270 without having to make any changes and to keep it safe. But a remapper should be able to tell you what is safe with or without the mods :) I must admit 5.3 for the size does seem to be quick but I can believe it. :D And I think you will notice the smile will be bigger on your face after the Skoda ;) Fully agree about the manual gears. I've only ever driven one auto gear box car didn't like it myself. With Mods can post here or in the Forester section or bit further down if you want to be more pacific there is engine and exhaust room's :D Have to let us know how you get on with the test drive I think you will walk away wanting more myself so you have been warned. Once you have driven it it's hard to drive anything else :)

Subaru Forester 2.5 XT - specs?
Hi mate welcome to S.O.C BHP is 227 more if it's had some mods added. 0.60mph will depend on manual or auto I guess I would say the 5.3 seconds being manual and a second slower for the auto. The secondary air injector does seem to be a problem with some of the car's when the error code flashes up on the 2006 yet 2007 seem to run fine so you might be right with the choice from what I can find. Not sure why that is and look's like Subaru knew about the fault but was not willing to hold there hand's up. :( hope it helped a little bit ;) And hopefully one of the other Fozzer owners might be able to help more then I can with the injector issue :)

Is my BOV on its way out?
Some you can adjust the spring. But would go with the others that it's sticking 1st :D
