It's not your dash cam telling you it's memory full is it?

Sounds like battery problems to me. How old is the battery? Are the battery connections and all grounds nice and clean and tight?

Good job/write-up.

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

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,

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?

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!!

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.

The ABS light comes on with the check engine light purely as additional warning - does not mean the problem is with the ABS/brakes. Simply emphasize that a sensor is out of spec. Needs the codes to be read.

Curious. Got any photos?

Shift changes issue might be influenced by either low/or overfilled tranny fluid or the condition of it. Good fresh fluid might sort it. It also may be affected by the fault codes - the engine ecu talks to the tcu.

@MrD You need to know the Legacy and the Outback are different cars. The OB has greater ground clearance and additional plastic body plastic panels underneath as well as the visible bits along door panels etc. while the Leggy is better suited for normal road work. Similar platform overall though. The v belt pulleys should be changed at 100k. Tensioner on this and the timing chain when a) the former is losing tension, and b) when the chain starts getting noisy (actually there are two timing chains) would need changing if symptoms emerge. Wheel bearings sometimes give problems around 100k and above. Otherwise, the motors generally don't give problems, the gap in service you mention wouldn't worry me unduly.
