    If the block test changed colour from blue to yellow, that's a sure sign you have combustion gas getting into the coolant and the only way that'll happen that I know of is HG failure. It's probably early stage but still...There is probably blow through at one cylinder. Pressure test wouldn't necessarily prove anything in this regard - the problem occurs when the engine is hot and expansion happens. Good luck anyway.

    I believe it'll make a significant difference. In effect, wouldn't the front and back wheels be trying to rotate at differing speeds?

    Looks like a gizwag flasher unit controller for alternate headlamp flashing like cops use.

    Those springs are notorious for rusting out. Mine has done just that. Just got used to manually returning the handle to the "closed" position.

    What you are seeing is the accessory belt, droves the aircon, power steering pump, and alternator. Also called v belt. Can need changing, if you do it's recommended to change the idler pulley and the tensioner pulley as those bearings can and do, fail. Easy to do.

    Def chain. Only replace if noisy/failing. Known to go easy 300k miles provided tensioners etc don't let go.

    Howdy and welcome. Good choice!

    'Cause we had one (green mamba snake) in our kitchen ages ago (long story) and 'cause I've owned 3 green Subies in my time.

    There is a silver 3.0Rn OB on eBay right now, the seller is asking £2600. If anyone is considering http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/162406502385?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT I urge you to contact me (pm) before buying; I know something which may be useful about it.

    Airbag warning light could be clock spring fault. Does the hooter work?

    How's the battery in the remote? Make sure when you connect the car battery that the key is not in the ignition.

    Regarding the tailgate water. No obvious damage around the window beading? Have you tried taking off the inner liner and looked for obvious signs of water ingress? If they have sunroofs, drains may be clogged, water then gets into the tailgate via the flex rubber boots near the hinges (carry wiring into the tailgate). Check light clusters for small cracks.

    The scarcity, the space, the power. Finally, when it snows.

    Check all hose clamps on fuel lines in the engine bay are tight - cold tends to cause contraction and sometimes leakage.

    Mine is under the cowl which runs side to side under the wipers.

    That ad is 8 years old.

    Says USA, so probably LHD.

    Nothing spectacular, just my OB bay.

    I believe all car batteries have a date code, embossed/engraved onto either the top or one of the sides. Usually a series of numbers and letters (alphanumeric combinations, 6 or 7 characters) and some of the letters/numbers denote the date (month/year) the battery was made. I have one in my car which I'm trying to find out how old it is (came with the car) and I dont know how Halfords mark their batts.
  22. Greenmamba
    Anyone know how to read the date code on a Halfords 005 battery?

    Anyone heard about changes coming next year to how road tax is calculated? Seems some could be winners! http://www.msn.com/en-gb/cars/ownership/winners-and-losers-in-the-2017-car-tax-shake-up/ss-BBxPWKe?ocid=MSN_UK_NL_M_NO_06JAN17OM2-PID83549#image=22
