bitman

sold it :)

As my ordered new EV will be delivered within a couple weeks from now I have decided so sell my trusty Forester. I bought her as 2nd owner in Jan 2014 and have used her with joy. Milage is now on 202350 and will go up a bit till I got a buyer as I'm using her daily for commuting. She is a bit rough as the first owner was a farmer but she had full Subaru dealer maintenance while with her first owner and while in my ownership I have done all maintenance my self, have receipts to prove. Only use Shell V-Power and quality oils. MOT October 2016. Bad points; - Secondary Air Valves (gives engine light on, only when the temp drops below 12) - Corrosion on diverse places - Power steering is getting a bit noisy Makes a good run around for the one who gives her some TLC and doesn't expect a new car.

there is a small hole with a switch to reset the unit by using a paperclip or... may be you handbrake wire is loose making the unit thinking that you are driving?

funny i have the same;

back in Australia i had a 2.5 n/a Forester and here in the UK i have a 2.0 n/a Forester and must say the 2.5 had more torque, better sound and better MPG ;)

washed it :)

MOT time... passed with flying colours mileage 199971 and guess what the prick of a MOT tester started to use the brake ramp so i jumped up and stopped him doing that he told oh you CAN do this and my reply was STOP this and call DVLA then he backed off and took his OBD toy and did the road brake test.

ABS system?

cleaned / removed little stones from the front chocks cups. they tend to fill up with sand and rumble if the drain holes are getting blocked. have a look at yours? drain holes blocked;

loosen up the front brake calliper as it's MOT time the coming week :)

@peejay; yep indeed that's the subframe

you are entitled to do the MOT 1 month before the expire date so when you do that you will have 1 month the time to fix thing before she runs out of MOT ;)

have a look on this forum as it has been done. btw the box with the satnav on your dash is double din...

no cars nor humans are being hurt in this video

that's non of any once business but police

why do you drive in the middle of the road? are you a traffic copper or so?

i think he wanted to go to the A217 (Holiday-Inn / Tesco / Reigate) what is the 2nd exit on that roundabout. you can use google street view to make the same journey ;)

youtube is now fully httpS but for some reason this forum doesn't like when you use the tags with httpS like https so if you want to post a youtube video just remove the S from the httpS url getting this http and your video will show up :)

just take the s out of httpS

SWMBO was rear ended on the same roundabout a couple years back. it took 6 months to sort out as 4 vehicles were involved. she stood still for the red traffic light when a plonker in a Mitsubishi Pajero crashed in the que of stationary vehicles. hoop you are OK and things are sort out fast

another one;

a bit of rain on the A25 east bound...

with 199367 miles i have done an oil change and loosen the off side front brake caliper.

sensible driving, using the cruise control a lot and bear in mind both are automatic. the UK one i only use V-Power one thing Scoobie doesn't like is city traffic with lots of stop start traffic due heavy car. best MPG i did was when driving to one of my brothers living in the Netherlands; 37 MPG! could have even better MPG but had to fill up as the next fuel station wasn't a Shell one. so highway with cruise control is best but that goes for most car to be honest then another point is tires. i have ditched those crap Geolandars for Nexen and oh boy way better MPG and less tire noise. you can see that in my Fuelly (in my signature) there you can also see my silver 2.5 XS i had
