looking at sourcing just the fitting kit as got the roof bars attached to the rack

thanks will look into fittings to adapt that clamp to rail standard issue

Wish to fit on temporary basis lightweight alloy roof rack Has any one drilled through the roof bar to fit bolts through ? What is the material / suitable to drill through or not ? Proper fittings that clamp on might make it sit to high hence bolt fitting option ? Appreciated

spoke to last owner who said it occured very rare but thought it was plugs so got garage to change leads and plugs together i have full service history so been looked after in its life odd fault because it runs so well and ive been on two long trips to get it really warm and performs well the fault is intermittent and not full on every day going to check all electrical connections in case a loose connection

thanks / going to have another visual check / inspection before proceeding

v power and nothing under 97 all the time yesterday used that shell nitro

colour silver ? does misfire under load plugs were changed few weeks back

Slight problem with my W reg 2000 Forester S Turbo manual / petrol. Occasionally not always but under acceleration it stutters almost like a misfire. Changed air filter , fitted K & N Panel filter , tightened up all hose connectors and cleaned electrical connectors. Car will run fine then out the blue stutter for a minute then clear and run for day or two no problem Returning good mpg around 28 mpg / starts straight away / no smoke from exhaust / idles fine without rev counter moving and generally does what i ask of it. Not using any oil nor water / just done 300 mile trip ok. Baffled though by this stutter. Instinct says fuel starvation but its had a walbro pump fitted just before i got it. Any suggestions appreciated ?

Old timer from West Sussex on this forum when i had an Impreza awd non turbo then went off and did other stuff returning now for good with my Subaru Forester 2.0 litre S Turbo awd of 1999 vintage. Great < work in progress > project with years mot, very good with just odd issues but looking forward to listening n learning on the forum. Photographs today but forgot to set date on camera
