running those on my daily as winter tyres - not noisy at all (get out clause, running a cobra resonated turbo back system 😉) great wet weather performance, hit some standing water on the motorway the other day circa 70mph..... Car did not flinch, very solid under wet / slushy braking as well

Ahhh right - yes a PnP loom is a big plus 👍

Wotcha and welcome - The Subaru diesel product is not great, many failures recorded I would suggest a petrol engine instead. I also enjoy a spirited two wheel excursion 😁

Welcome back 👍😁 For my money I would still not go for a diesel - many are getting rebuilt now to address the failures but I am not sure it is something I would risk

That makes sense as then the seal limit would be exceeded hence the leakage

Is there free play / resistance with the clutch fork that the slave piston pushes against?

😄 not you make the paint, companies will make the paint up according to the code you supply and then send it to you in either a rattle can or tin for you to use at home

Wotcha and welcome - You can get paint made up to use at home as you have the code

Wow - It is not the way I would have approached the repair. You will get some white vapour until the engine is warm that is normal. I would replace the thermostat and get a new radiator.

Not heard of this myself although having wind deflectors on the windows is quite a common aftermarket addition on imprezas - Couldn't get on with them personally as I found they restricted my vision going around right corners / islands

Is it these? https://www.importcarparts.co.uk/parts-info?id=14770&cat=96&sub=183&sec=421&var=85&dc=0&gen=&searchKey=&searchPart=

Wotcha and welcome - Not an XV contributor myself but hopefully one of the others will be a long in a bit who can help

Sounds like a good approach 👍

No problem with keeping it stock - each to their own 😉

Result - good for many more miles

It depends on what you are looking for, ICP do a lot of stuff particularly OEM, Roger clark do high end engine bits? Whats on your mind?

The 2008 impreza is 190Nm so you should be fine with 220nm

Wotcha and welcome !!

Great thread - very interesting, did you consider an EMTRON ECU of just go straight for the HALTECH?
