My Outback 3.0r Auto Test Drive
In your 1st pic, to the left of steering wheel there are 5 little vents, no idea what these are but the switch for turning it off/on is just below. Eyes like a $hithouse rat!

My Outback 3.0r Auto Test Drive
Yes....easy to apply and stays where it is, it comes all in one strip. They sell them in 5s on Ebay but I didn`t want to put them on the back seats so ive 3 left doing nothing. The parrot was already installed......really handy though.

My Outback 3.0r Auto Test Drive
Looks like you got a bargain there Dave! Thing is with these Outbacks, no-one knows anything about them so the prices are for nothing. They almost always have full dealer history because not many places will touch them. its a rarity to see 2 in the same place. Subaru`s best kept secret!! :)

Buying tips
They are uncannily comfortable for a car designed to go off-road, no idea how they do it but they do. Just wait for the snow if it comes and give it a go.........they can climb walls

It should be whisper quiet on tick-over once warmed up and you realy only hear the engine when you gun it.

3.0 auto real world mpg
Yes......The 1st time I went up to Edinburgh from Accrington I set the cruise at 68 MPH purposely and I got 30 MPG. Around town its around 22-25. I use mine as a work horse so I need the best MPG really but the 3 ltrs performance I think is well worth it. Just now and then I take the trainer-wheels off her and give her a boot full and it brings a warm glow inside and a big smile outside. The 2.5 will get you closer to 40 on a run and maybe 33-35 around town....they are a handy beast but they don`t come close to the 3 ltr.

I live just outside Accrington lancs. Ive had 4 Outbacks from Bolton, Blackpool, Rotherham....and my last, the one I have now Came from Haslingden which is about 5 miles away....the last 3 I found on Ebay......they are worth the trip! You get a lot of car for you money you really do.

All of the above except for timing belt applys to both 2.5 and 3ltr models!

Buying tips
I already posted in your other thread but........service history is a must!.......timing belt changed? (If you go for a 2.5) give it a good test drive, listen for any noise from the drive train, wheel bearings etc...... check the oil/water...the usual, how clean is the engine compartment, have a right good nosey underneath with a torch if poss. They are pretty much indestructible as long as they`ve not been thrashed around off-road too much. Start her up and give it a minute or 2.....you should now not be able to hear or even feel that the engine is running....the 1st couple of days with my 3 ltr o5 when I stopped at the lights I thought the engine had stalled. And it should also feel as comfy as your couch! Hope you get a nice clean one matey. ;)
