Thanks Mr B. Mine has done 102000 miles and was in garage for a squeaking noise from the front. The front belt was replaced but squeak still there. Can't really afford to put into Subaru garage, but will look to maintain car with my local mechanic, although I think he prefers more common cars . Good news though that there is a consensus that it is a timing chain rather than a belt.

Is it still a timing chain on a 2011 Forester Turbo Diesel? That's certainly what my local independent garage is telling me, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there.
