Wotcha and welcome - sound advice above

cant remember off top of head - it has been posted before somewhere on here - will do some digging

the TD04 is readily available second hand and easy enough to change over should you need to

the third one looks good though

great keep us posted ;)

good for you :)

we do prefer the warm hugs approach on this forum :)

the thickness of the oil shouldn't be related to loss - it will however help (as will slick 50) with a noisier engine attributed to wear through higher miles, you mention burning oil but there is no smoke or deposits in the exhaust? It must be going somewhere - I would do more checks for smoke and keep an eye on the coolant - has the engine ever been rebuilt?

stainless brake hoses - always a good mod with cars over 5 years old

oooh drift buckets going in?? ;)

amount of time I spent spraying the dizzy with wd40 in the wet conditions driving back and forth to Scotland - was a regular at Halfords in those days - only Vauxhall decided the best place to mount it was right at the front of the engine just above the sump - muppets

We need to work on our google rating - get ourselves higher up in the listings ;)

A great service offered!!

Have mentioned it in other thread but Bazza if it was me I would take the time and have a look - just ignore the gearbox price as I believe that is miss leading you

those are some smooth curves, no holes or flat spots there if you upload them to a hosted site (eg photobucket) and post the link that works best

Bazza - £800 is within your budget - ignore the gearbox, confirm it will fit your existing box - stick a new clutch in whilst you have it apart and just turn the power down

yup that would get the job done nicely :P

Pretty sure we have a full list of codes and a how to on here also

Wotcha and welcome - that is a shame - again I have not heard of people going through clutches like that

That is exactly what I was going to put - he has a robust 6 speed gearbox to match if you can stretch to it he is also not too far from you

I put mine on the mudflaps

maybe its because you havent updated your Subaru model on your profile - doesnt have a feeling of belonging yet ;)

Having worked in customer facing roles for a few years I cant abide bad service and it properly riles me when you have some chump on the end of the phone telling you it is the right kit when you have it sat in front of you and you know for a fact it is incorrect

not had that one before - didn't know there was a limit

They do make a great family car - but the moving abroad is a bit of a deal breaker :(
