Welcome. We see few Exiga's here.

If you lock the car with the key (not via remote) so the car is locked but not alarmed, does the same night-time alarms still sound? Sometimes one or more door switches, maybe one of the bonnet plungers might be sticky causing the system to think the door/bonnet is open? Worth checking. The only other possibility i can think of is the alarm's 9v battery needs replacing. Found under the scuttle near the nearside wiper mounting position.

The green ones get connected during diagnostics. Leave them apart. No idea about the others.

I'm soon moving to Kent, near Canterbury. Anyone have experience dealing with EKS who are nearby and advertise themselves as Subaru specialists? Subaru Service & Maintenance Specialist - East Kent Subaru Thanks in advance

Price?

Either the stalk light switch is in the on position or the switch on top of the steering binnacle is in the on position. Check both.

Welcome both!

Anyone interested; 4 Subaru Outback alloy wheels and winter tyres. Off my Gen 3 but should fit other Subaru models with the same wheel pattern 16,5JJ with +48 offset 5x100 bolt pattern All straight and true but shabby. I've used them for a few years as winter beaters Fitted with Hankook i*Sept Evo winters. 215/60 R16 99H. All with plenty tread and hold air well. Date code makes then 2012 build but they look much younger. All kept undercover on pallet when not on the car. I'm in east London and due to move to Kent at the end of the month so these need to go soon. They will need collecting (IG7 4JE) Make me an offer? I'm really not interested in keeping them so if they don't sell at any price they will be going to the tip.

@Mthokozisi The aerial is printed on the rear screen/hatch, along with the rear windscreen heater element. There is an aerial booster fitted inside the hatch which connects to the radio via the left-hand wiring harness which goes through the rubber boot near the hinge. The wires in the rubber boot often break, meaning the aerial gets disconnected from the radio. Check the left hand rubber boot for breaks in the wiring. Note the right hand side rubber boot also carries wiring, mainly for rear lights, wiper power etc and these can also fail.

Check behind the switch mounting spot for a wiring harness which could have been disconnected if the previous owner had problems so took it out and hotwired it. Remote, but possible. If there is a disconnected wiring plug, maybe a new switch could be all you need?

Pictures and price?

Found it. Attached. If you get to the point where the codes are displayed, post those codes here.DTC diagnostics codes - Outback.pdf

Code readers are available from around £20 or so. eBay has dozens. OBD2 reader is what to look for. Alternately there is a free programme - Freessm - downloadable to laptop, which gets connected to the car's OBD port via a cable, the type of which escapes me. Alternatively, your car should have an obd read option which displays the various fault codes on the dashboard. You get to this via a series of switches (headlights, trip meter) the sequence of which currently escape me. If I find it I'll send it. There are also small plug in readers which BT connect to a downloaded app on your phone. Lastly, most half-decent garage should have a code reader so you might want to ask if you have a friendly local guy.

Some sensor is reporting out-of-range readings. There will be a code - that needs reading. Only then will anyone be able to guide you to the cause.

mine's a wagon.

They are scarce. If you're ever near Chigwell you are welcome to see mine (for size, it's not for sale)!

No idea if other years have the same space, I can only comment on mine, which is a 2007 model. later cars (from 2009 onwards) are overall bigger but that is external dimensions. The load bay/sleeping space would need someone owning one of those to comment.

You can. Back seats down in my OB gets a nearly flat stretch of nearly 6ft.

Could be low power steering fluid amongst other possible causes including wheel alignment, low tyre pressure, failing steering rack/pump. Reservoir is likely to be on the right hand side (from the drivers perspective) of the engine bay.

Throttle position sensor. You have a drive-by-wire system which means the throttle is measured by electrical measurements of how far the accelerator pedal is depressed, thereby operating the engine speed electrically (used to be cable connecting the 2). It could have developed faults, meaning the pedal movement isn't being translated accurately. If it's the problem, replacement of the tps may be needed.

Maybe tps?

I'd expect it to be in the cubby, right hand side. Sure it's not there?

Which head unit is in there? 6 disc cd or dvd?

Too slow....ignore previous message....
