    is that K&N air filter dipped in oil? if yes this can create problems.

    these valves are known issues but as yours is a 2008 it'm a bit confused as Subaru did modified them since 2007 due this corrosion problem. they made some parts from plastic to prevent corrosion. now yours is a TX what means your ECU is programmable with the possibility to disable the dreaded valve codes and remove these valves all together to prevent any issues in the future. this system is only used for about 40sec when starting from cold to inject air to warmup the cat quicker.

    when buying second hand i don't care about the colour as long the rest of the car is in good order IMHO

    it's the RMP's what's important not really the gear you are in, diesels do have high torque at low rpm fuel filter might have a tap to realise water at the bottom of the filter but i'm not familiar with the Subaru diesel engine

    agree with Mr B, shocks are shot. i had the same with my 2003 XS back in Australia. the only thing i wonder about is that you still can drive her and not feeling any sweeping from the back when driving over bumps at speed MOT here in the UK they don't have shock test ramps as in other countries. compared with some other countries the UK MOT is a joke IMHO
