My OB has issues with a transmission sensor - specifically P1706 which I want to examine. The sensor is mounted high on the tail section of the tranny and only visible (just) from underneath. I'd like to get the car on a lift or over a workshop pit. Does anyone know anywhere in the south east (Kent pref) which rents out facilities such as this by the hour, or who would allow me to borrow? Probably need a couple of hours for my examination, maybe longer period if I proceed with repairs once parts have been got. Thanks all.

Anyone tried one of these? https://www.aliexpress.com/w/wholesale-portable-subaru-ashtray.html?spm=a2g0o.home.search.0

Anyone want or need a Momo steering wheel c/w airbag, off my old Outback (year 2004 or so)? Pictures for reference. Free to collect from CT4 Bridge Kent. No cost but I will not package or arrange courier despatch - no exceptions - so you'll have to arrange that for yourself. There's a headrest in grey leather from, I think the same car which I'm happy to part with at the same time.

That has dual zone aircon. Unlikely to work, apart from any other incompatibilities.

I can't comment on a Levorg as haven't been in one but as for the dealer network and support from Subaru towards their product, my experience has been that Subaru in the UK is almost non-existent. Examples impacting me are closures recently of my two nearest dealers (Woodford and Maidstone) so there are none in Kent and only Robertsbridge in Sussex should I need them (rarely, prefer to do my own work where possible). Others experience may vary.

Welcome!

Relays in place doesn't mean they are all OK. Does the fan/s start if the aircon (if equipped) is powered up?

Welcome!

Official subaru dealers should be able to supply the pin provided you can prove ownership - mine did. Costs may apply.

Do you have a keypad inside the little flap by drivers' right knee which gives access to the interior fuse box? If so it's likely an OEM (Thatcham?) fitting. If so do you know the 4 or 5 digit PIN and if so does inputting the code make any difference?

Sure that printed section isn't the aerial? Side window, rear?

What sensor fault code?

If you pull the tab it may come out further?

It mat be cheaper/easier/quicker to swop in another engine if you can find one. Costing when the actual damage is yet unknown is unlikely to be successful.
