    Good job. Pity it's based on LHD cars.

    @Hazel How many discs do you have and are you trying them in the dvd drive in the cubbyhole, or in the cd player slot?

    Confirm you have a disc in the drive for the satnav? You could try a reset, there should be a small hole on the face near the disc loading slot - push a paper clip or pin there to reset the drive. The drive ought to be in the glove box/cubby.

    It should not need reprogramming.

    Integrated radios are usually paired with the ECM, so may need dealer help. Is this set the original for this car?
  6. Greenmamba
    Are the front drive shafts original? They should have green-coloured cups (nearest the diff) - if they are black or any colour other than green, they could be the problem.

    Pin Torx, also called a security Torx. Available in any good tool store, even Machine Mart.

    Obviously a code stored, some sensor is giving readings out of spec. Wouldn't surprise me if it's the DPF.

    It'll be as long as you want it to be!

    Results were excellent, would pass MOT flying colours.

    Took it for an emissions test, wanted to know if the cheapy eBay exhaust I bought and installed had compromised emissions. Went to the local Subaru agents, then an indy garage who did it for £10. Subaru workshop reception gave me a price of £64.90 - yes, you read that right - more than a full MOT, for just 10 minutes doing an emissions test!

    Aren't those cameras measuring speed by GPS? I'd call that claim about calibration - b*llsh1t!
  13. Greenmamba
    Just think - if they went through a speed camera during that run, who is going to get a fine in the next few weeks? You, or them?
  14. Greenmamba
    Good plan.

    OK, we have serious prices here too for the OEM tensioner and pulleys.. When I did mine, I bought Febest pulleys (idler and tensioner use the same pulley) which came delivered from Lithuania in 2 days, much cheaper.
  16. Greenmamba
    OK. I think there are no nuts behind the two bolts (#4 in the diagram). Odd to have to replace the tensioner - they are usually robust. What actually happened? Did it lose tension?
  17. Greenmamba
    Me, or the OP?
  18. Greenmamba
    If it's the tensioner pulley, not the idler pulley be careful - there is a nut behind the bolt (which holds the pulley itself onto the tensioner) which can get lost down a crevice and you will battle to get it out. Has the tensioner itself failed or are you replacing just the pulley?

    Nice one!

    Full change of transmission fluid.
  21. Greenmamba
    First of all, auto box - check transmission fluid. Level and colour/smell. I'm assuming it's auto. Check with engine running in park. If fluid is too high or too low, sort it first. Check colour - should be pink. If not, change it, few drain and fills may help. 4 speed or 5 speed?
  22. Greenmamba
    Welcome
  23. Greenmamba
    Changed the v belt, tensioner pulley and idler pulley.
  24. Greenmamba
    Subarus are known to prefer OEM thermostats. They open at similar temps but have a larger capsule than "compatible" others. If it's not OEM, try a new OEM. Not much cost, not much to lose.
  25. Greenmamba
    Is it a OEM thermostat? Have you considered a leak down test?
