I am looking at a 2005 Forester 2.0 XT In great condion , but all gears work except for 5th , this happened after a new clutch was fitted I'm getting the car very cheap but I could do with some guidance on the manual box and what may be the problem . Thanks

I have read a post ( usa) that mentioned the Manual transmission on the 2.5 AT is weak and not suitable for the 2.5 turbo , any thoughts please , as I'm in the Market for one

Yes hope to have it rapped up for 1500 euros in a few days.

Hopefully done and dusted in the nxt few days Sent from my LG-D838 using Tapatalk

More good news timming belt done 18 months ago at Sub dealer invoices for all work done

Up date ， service book has seven main dealer stamps ， the rest are from a independent garage . No know head gasket problems ?

Good point ， I am about half an hour from a Sub dealer so if I purchase I will leave it in there for t/belt and all fluids etc.

Yes tailgate and 2.5 none turbo， I thought they sorted the gasket problem on these?????

No， most are around the 3000 plus Mark ， at 1.695euro. I thaught it was worth a look?

Going to look at a 2006 Outback ， sold as seen from a dealer 1600 euros Looks clean ， leather auto sunroof ect 116.000 miles on the clock. Bad points ， rear door lock not working Slight damage to front wing and headlamp unit ， pumped not cracked ，should be a body shop job . I was told it drives fine no problems . What should I look for as it has no test?

A heat gun should mould the plastic ?

I came across a cheap 2000 model 2.0 turbo s, with 235000 miles on the clock but well looked after. Their is a lot of them out there so ill take my time

I have come across a 2003 , turbo is gone is this expensive to put right

I like autos .
