You'll need a bit more detail to get folks interested, like price for instance.

Seems a good price for a good looking car. Good luck with the sale. If I didn't have mine, would be seriously interested.

Prices,interested in the exhaust?

Check this ad for a 2000 Subaru! Note - I have no connection to this. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/subaru/263442890770?_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIM.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D49129%26meid%3D572fe2893fd74ba3b7844bfca616c0b5%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D282812925845&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851

Nice! Welcome.

I think just one.

I trust the timing belt hasn't gone something like jump tooth or gone completely. Is it overdue a new belt?

Good to hear.

Subaru dealer should be able to provide the 4 digit code if it's a standard UK Sigma alarm. Just prove to them you're the owner (V5 etc). On the current problem, try disconnect the car battery for about 30 minutes. If the alarm sounds immediately, try the remote button (may help if it's close to the car). If no alarm sound, depress the brake pedal a couple of times to bleed any residual current, then reconnect the car battery. Then try the key button,

Welcome. Nice colour!

When you say it wont start, does it at least turn over with the starter or does nothing happen when you turn the key? Any ignition lights on?

Find another garage.

Loud-ish whining noise is likely to be wheel bearings. Trying to jump sideways could be many things including torque bind although I'm not sure this impacts manuals like it does autos. Are all the tyres the same make and wear? What do the ball joints look like?

As they say, howdy neighbour! Always ready to lend a hand if needed.

Welcome, ask away, plenty of wise folk here!

You only need to disconnect battery for 30 minutes or so. Press the brake pedal a couple of times during that time, then reconnect battery. All relevant codes should be cleared.

Nice!!

6k miles daily - you are going places!! Good luck finding the right car.

I'm looking for advice. I want to get a stainless steel cat back exhaust made up for my 3.0 and Flowtech exhausts in Dagenham being near me is on my radar. Anyone used them? Thoughts appreciated.

You should have no problem at that price.

Speedo will be off. Cruising, engine revs wil be lower so may benefit fuel consumption. Not sure about tyre rubbing.

Seriously odd. No clue how that would happen.

Yep, both register speed.

Not far from me!

Reason I asked about the K&N filter is if the previous owner had fitted one, and oiled it/never cleaned it etc it could have messed with the MAF. Sort the MAF, check the air filter and your idle/running could well improve.
