That is a great offer and very much appreciated although I am close to Wolves so a fair hike from yourself, we are trying to get them to drive the RX we have then we can hand that over - !Removed! geriatrics - so independent!!

Ill pass that on

They are certainly addictive that is for sure, currently trying to convince the missus her father would benefit from a 3.0R spec B auto

Wotcha and welcome, great piece of kit you have got your hands on!

stick with it and get it running then sell if you must - however when it is running right you may find you would like to keep it still - as above dont scrap it, too nice

Wotcha and wlecome

Wotcha and welcome. Wrt to selling I was in a similar situation to yourself so struck a deal with a local trader and he got a fixed fee for the sale, I got hassle free sale As you said high mileage is no issue if looked after but buying second hand will always be a gamble where ever it comes from. XT's are desirable motors so good ones dont hang about and be prepared to travel for the right motor. Later models have a 2.5l engine as opposed to a 2.0l this gives slightly more power and low down torque. There have been issues with ringland failure on some 2.5l lumps - I dodnt have an issue and many others havent but oil starvation & detonation have been blamed for the failures. It comes down to the material subaru used in its pistons. Manual vs Auto - yes the manual is slightly faster 0-60, it is the same with my impreza, the auto will have a manual esq mode which enables you to change between the four gears. Which should you choose, entirely down to driving style - if you like stirring the gearbox an auto is not going to give what you want even with the semi auto option selected. Keep us posted as to your progress

easier to replace the unit - plenty of more modern options with phone compatibility etc

Wotcha and welcome - plenty of mod options - depends on budget, intended use etc,

Wotcha and welcome - yup as above good chance it may have been broken :o/

Wotcha and welcome Andy - keep s posted as to progress

Wotcha and welcome - keep your camera handy when you are testing the snow capabilities :o)
