What performance parts do you need!
Yeah it will do the same thing I would have thought. I only used mine a hand full of times Sorry was half way through replying and my 10 year old was crying saying he couldn't breath. But panic over he's fine :)

Very nice and no time wasted with modding her :) I like it. As for the wind deflectors I'm not sure.

After Market Exhaust
Best sound and more power having it completely done. Downside is unless you know a good MOT guy or are happy putting the cat on for MOT every year it will fail :)

2008 Subaru Outback 2.0D Rn - Problem already!
Do you get any drumbing sounds could be a wheel bearing or Hub another possible thing is Lower Ball Joint for any splits. I would have a look at the breakpads too. For any worn down either at the top or the bottom of the pad or for any binding signs. And would look at CV joint and the rubber boots. While it's jacked up you should be able to give the spring a look at and check the suspension strut. That's all I can think of at the minute :)

Why would he do this
I think I would stay away it's hard to tell without seeing it could be genuine. But I know one member bought a import impreza had just had a full engine rebuild it looked great very clean inside and out big ends popped and he hadn't even done 500 miles :( Myself poor rebuild or he just cleaned it all up know it was faulty. How long ago did he sorn it if it was sorned before he bought the other car, alarm bells would ring for me even more. I would go with the gut and look else where if it was me :( There is lots of people that would be happy to make a quick few quid selling crap car's. I've never done that always listed a fault. only problem I did have once was with a car my mate wrote off. sold it on ebay listed everything I was told it needed to be put back on the road, about £3000 worth I was going to sell the car anyway so sold it as spares or repairs as I said listed everything I was told, bloke buys it comes picks it up happy with the car pay's me off he goes. Like all my car's I've done them up and looked after them I messaged him asking if he had got it back on the road as I would like to have seen some pictures of it back to it's best. I got a long rant message back saying the engine was in worse state then I had said needed a full engine rebuild and so on. So I apologised I didn't know and not heard anything from him since but did check DVLA and it's now back on the road :) so with any car I think is a gamble. But if you have a feeling the seller is trying to pull the wool over your eye's that would be enough for me to walk

rear galley plug removal
Oh i'm good at doing that too :) I can even drop the bolt I need and get it wedged to the point I had to take the battery out to get it back, and I wasn't even working on that side of the car :D

Imprezza advice
Problem half solved :)

Why would he do this
Sounds like a bad car to me. Everyone I've owned when I've been to view it they have taken me out in it they drove it till it warmed up showed the Turbo working or let me take it out on my own and didn't say a thing about how far to go. So I use to drive round for at least 15 mins let her warm up and give it a little boost to feel the turbo. :) But you could have scared him looking all big and scary

Probably been asked a million times
We have a club insurance that offer's discount with Adrian Flux worth giving them a try 1st My farther in law was in the same boat as you think he got his down to £385 in the end. But Green light is also good. I'm with the NFU though been with them for 6 years now. And have always been ok with me so stuck with them even though I've had cheaper quotes. But i'm paying a little over £550 now but did get it down to £460 But better the devil you know I think with insurance and I can pop in anytime to the office with the NFU :D
