New owner looking for CVT advice
Wotcha and welcome - Not too many of those motors about and I haven't heard of anyone tuning them. A manual setup will set you back around 3K for bits. Given the type of car you have I would potentially look at selling and buying a manual model as these A lines do appeal to a specific market

EBC Pads fitment issues...?
I have used EBC pads for quite a few years on different models, every so often I would try different brands normally as a package deal with discs as well. Recently (last 3 years or so) I have been finding the fit out of the box is rubbish and I am having to file the edges to get the pads into the guides - It is like the hydraulic cutter is not cutting the metal backplate at 90 degrees but more 85? Now for the OEM standard replacement pads at £25 a set I was putting that down to price point vs quality but having just splurged the thick end of £250 on some yellow stuff pads I had higher expectations, 7 of the 8 pads (Fr & Rr) need filing to fit. Any one else come across this of just me? For the record I have had no issues with performance of the pads themselves, although I have just replaced Godspeeds on the front of the daily with yellow stuff so will be interesting to compare back to back - early result are comparable braking performance wise but the Yellow stuff seems to be a lot dustier

Not heard of that one - hopefully one of our XV owners can shed some light on it, might be an additional module?

recommended radio replacement for 08 hatch???
I used a kenwood but for your budget you could get android units or there is this Pioneer specifically for the ipod https://www.caraudiocentre.co.uk/product_m-pioneer-dmh-a240dab_p-43286.htm

Wheel Spacers?
both TUV approved, both high quality AL so not much difference there. WRT the cooling ducts, may work but I wonder how often you would need to be stripped and cleaned to remove the brake dust clogging up the grooves?

Subaru Servicing options.
For my 2.0 na auto box i spent £70 on oil - used castrol ATF auto gearbox oil from opie oils and flushed through myself. It may not be a direct comparison but possibly a point of reference.

Where best to sell Dads car
These days I do not have a clue the prices seem to be going bonkers - a couple of years back I was looking at Type R's at 8k wondering why P1's were going for 10-12k?? Today I saw a Type R (Almost original) advertised for 29K - that was 22b money a few years back!! 😲 If you are looking for top dollar I would go through it back to front, paint correction / detailing spend a few hundred quid getting it immaculate, take lots of high res photos to market it and be prepared to wait for the right buyer, it is not a turbo model so wont appeal to the wider audience but you may get a collector interested
