Wotcha and welcome!!

I agree does look better lowered slightly

Wotcha and welcome. my favourite front end of the legacy models

It is quite easy to run an aux cable - the standard subaru head unit does not have a jack, the aux extension is part of the loom. What head unit do you have. If it is aftermarket there is a good chance it will have an aux socket which you can run a lead to a 2.5mm female.

Talk to breakers about the loom if it is a subaru unit.

The rear release could benefit from a bit of lube of the moving parts and possibly teh cable - unless the cable has snapped?

Not seen any pictures but this may help.

I had the opposite situation, manual wind in and researched auto wind in based up on ignition cut. There is a loom you could buy from Japan which fits and connects tehh ignition to the mirror controls.

I believe you have the other way around and there is no retract button just the loom connected to the ignition.

If you could source the right switch unit then check the plug connection to the switch unit you may find a gap or a wire in place but not being used. So connecting up the new unit may have it working..... More likely though is teh plug will have a wire missing which you could fit yourself if yoiu are happy going through diagrams to find where to splice it into

Sounds like the synchros worn. do you have the 5 speed box?

Ok apologies for the delayed reponse,

Here are some instructions which may work

Try pressing the top right hand corner of the screen for 5 plus seconds, that should kick in the eject process for the dvd and tilt the screen in the process.

Also this may be useful

Hidden menu:

1. Turn key to on position

2. Press "Agree"

3. Press the "Audio" button

4. Press the volume knob (right side - Audio off)

5. The screen should be blank apart from "Audio off" at the top

6. Tap the left side of the screen, then tap the right. Repeat 6 times

The hidden menu should now show up

Wotcha and welcome - All friendly on here, feel free to share photos etc. Do you have any plans for it or keep stock and enjoy the drive?

The sat nav will not recognise uk postcodes so I assume the dvd needs updating, only problem is that the screen will not tilt to give access to the discs! 🤦🏻‍♂️. 

Other than that, enjoying it 😁😁😁. 

What head unit do you have - can you post a photo as I may be able to help with that

Wow that is a new one, sounds like a canban issue as the switch is clearly making in manual but not triggering when required

Wotcha and welcome - are you sure there are no leaks / compressor wheel engages?

Wotcha and welcome - any codes generated?

Wotcha and welcome - look after it and it will do another 100K, those models are solid

Wotcha and welcome, that is not the standard head unit so I wouldnt know if it has what you need or not

Wotcha and welcome!!

Wotcha and welcome - I am also in a joint project, as well as my own, with my lad doing a 92 SVX build

Wotcha and welcome - look for an older petrol fozzy and that should see you right

Wotcha and welcome - not sure the motor has a dedicated harness so I think you will be cutting and splicing

Wotcha and welcome - great looking motor!

Wotcha and welcome - that looks mean, any plans for it??

Wotcha and welcome - as above but keep us posted as to your final choice

Hi and welcoome - feel free to start a build thread in the projects section to share your progress, lots of experience on here so dont be afraid to ask questions

Same on passenger door but also needed the central locking motor installation as well

Actually putting somethng back on - door speaker wire upgrade, tidy up the aftermarket central locking installation and repair to the sleeve

old (blue and red) vs new

new central locking 5 core cable in the sleeve as well

loom wrap to ensure sealed

5 core routed nicely, following existing wire path

Ready for replacement speakers

And sleeve back in place

Dash removal to get access for clutch pedal installation

Oh damn - that loom is going right where the clutch pedal needs to be....

best get the rest out then as we will need to reroute that

Master cylinder off for a service
