Oh I thought you meant it was a real world rifle, didn't twig it was the Alien pulse rifle

Have you looked at the real world weapon mod, there's a load of weapons in that mod. It's a huge file though Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There about 7600 mods for fallout now. Lots of weapons and stuff to make the game less of a grind. Personally I quite like building stuff in the villages. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I know, I know!! I've got it in mind, I want it done before FH2 comes out do you'll get it in the next 2 weeks 😉 I have a be finally got my head in the right place to play Fallout 4 had it ages but just not been in the right place to play it, got into mods now and enjoying it. It's even taken me off GTA Online now. thinking about the witcher too as I like the open world stuff

Maybe we can do it this time around. Sure there'll be a few up for some silliness

So who is getting this in A couple of weeks, we could do with getting a few of us together like we did with Horizon 2 and just go batting about. Anyone else up for done meets it is it just me? on the up side, you'll be able to buy designs off the auction house now do that should be a lot better than the old way of doing things.

As for wind deflectors I only know of the Dealer OEM ones, but there are other makers out there. With the XV being a niche market vehicle in the UK parts suppliers aren't that common. £100 I think for the dealer supplied ones. As for the bonnet trim, I bought the OEM one from the dealers, it was £80 fitted, probably not worth looking anywhere else for one.

I'm at 54k with my original clutch and it's still very low on the pedal. I've not heard of clutches bring an issue other than done suffer with "clutch judder" especially when cold. This doesn't affect the longevity of the clutch.

I had issue with a dealer not completing a service correctly that is still ongoing and quite messy at the minute. But servicing does affect fuel efficiency, especially if in you service they haven't updated the cars firmware, which they should do.

Sorry I really cant help with that, I think it's unlikely that it would fit. Best bet would be to contact your local main dealer, they can usually get a part number, Subaru UK can be helpful too, I have had a couple of part numbers off them before and they've usually been fairly quick and helpful.

I must admit I have though about getting some of these, but not got round to it yet. Always seems to be something more important going on that warrants my money 😩

Well I haven't done anything only but in absolutely fuming with myself after pulling around a traffic calming island and somehow getting it completely wrong and bouncing the wife's car over the kerb, front and back wheels on the passenger side. Screwed both tyres down that side so that's £270 down the drain by the time I've had the tracking done too, all because I've been a pratt, so effing annoyed with myself, no idea how I even did it but both tyres have a bulge in the tyre wall so that's that!

Absolutely fuming with myself!!!! driving the wife's car and was pulling round a traffic calming island, somehow misjudged it and clipped the front wheel on the kerb, wheel is fine, tyre has a golfball sized bulge stickingboutbof the side wall, Effin marvellous, that's £120 down the pan plus another £25 to get the tracking done. Hacked off is an understatement!!

Valetted mine inside and out, wax and all. Just got to black the tyres once they're dry. Then I'm going to sneak the Subaru owners club stickers on the back window while the wife isn't looking 😉

Around 50 is what you would expect to see on a combined run. So I'd say your mpg is about right

Pretty sure there is

The filter shouldn't look like that after that amount of time unless you've been somewhere dusty. id look st taking it to a dealers, I assume it's still under warranty so I'd take it a dealer. I spanked mine back from Wales one day and checked the mpg even then it was still low 40s

I did a forced DPF regen this morning so was doing about 70 in 4th for 10-15 mins even doing that I was getting 46mpg. The other really big factor in your cars fuel economy is sadly something you can't do anything about and that's how it was first "run in" now modern cars don't really need running in as such but doing a proper running in process can make the engine more economical and even a little bit more oomph. My car had a 1000mile run in following some standard advice about what revs you should be limited to at what mileage. This might be why my car is quite good on mpg, if the guy who had it before you ragged it for the first 1000miles then that might lower the mpg you'll get for the life of the vehicle, but it's only a moderate effect and unlike old cars doesn't risk the engine anymore. Do try the injectors you can feel a noticeable difference after a few mins. My throttle is responsive enough that I can blip the throttle coming down the gears to rev match, not that common in a diesel Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Might be worth running a tank or two of super diesel (I'd recommend shell) as this has engine cleaners in it that should clean your fuel lines, injectors etc. I wouldn't use Super forever though as the XV doesn't really like the diesel although I did get better mpg with it, it ran a bit snatchy after a while And it might be worth taking it out one day and give it a blow out, ignore the economy and just give it some beens in higher revs so that it clears the system. Not in the same way as you run the DPF but actually drive it hard for a bit, it'll feel a little sluggish initially but once the computer works out what you're doing it'll relearn (apparently the injectors learn how you're driving and adjust accordingly, there's a short period where they relearn) then you'll find it very responsive and much more lively on the accelerator. I don't know how it works but it does seem to be true. when you go back to economy mode it'll relearn again and you might get better fuel economy. you should be getting mid to high 40s without even trying, I like to put my toe down every now and then but even I get at least 45mpg good luck, let us know how you get on after a couple of tanks.

There's also a significant risk with the supermarket fuels. The fuel at tesco and asda is exactly the same fuel you get at shell if it comes from the same refinery. Where the difference is is in the additives that are added at the time of loading onto the tanker. Supermarkets use much less of the biocide and engine cleaning additives and therefore their diesel is cheaper. But there's a catch, the biocides are there to prevent the fungal/algle blooms you can get with biodiesel. If you have any moisture in your tank you can get these blooms and will stop your car running. Only solution is to drain the tank and park the car up for 6 months and clean out the injectors, fuel lines etc, or you can steal clean the fuel tank and clean the injectors and fuel lines. With dearer brand diesel this risk is removed by the additional biocide. So you've got to ask the question is it worth saving a penny a litre when you risk this extensive cost. I spoke to an AA mechanic who says he attends 10-15 diesel cars a week with this, all used supermarket diesel. I NEVER use supermarket diesel

Well mine is in the garage because staggeringly it developed an identical fault as my wife's car with the aircon. I'm half expecting the dealers to tell me it's the same problem which is a worry as it implies that the aircon condenser unit only lasts 2-3 years and then the seals go. I went from fully functioning aircon to nothing in 3 days. The dealer is sorting it out as a warranty issue so it's just an annoyance but it's a concern that this might happen again in 2-3 years when the warranty has expired.

No only if your filter becomes blocked then you need to force a regen as soon as possible using the method I posted earlier. If that doesn't clear you'll need to get it done at a garage who can use a heavier handed approach. Don't ignore though because the DPF filter is a big bill if it's blocked Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You shouldn't have any real problems but you can expect to get new tyres and brakes at around 50k. Shouldn't need anything much earlier than that. The XV is a bit of a tardis seems to carry a load of stuff. Did you get the rear bumper top protector, if you haven't it's worth getting one because they're prone to getting scratched there when loading etc.
