Anyone know they going rate for clutch replacement with out new fly wheel? been quoted £650 fitted is that in the right ball park ? Thanks

I've had several all around the 2000 era with very few issues changed to a 2005 last year and had nothing but trouble with it still trying to cure warning lights , humming noises , cat emissions headlight blowing bulbs oh and the clutch is in its way out !

😆😆😂😂

Both front wheel bearings have been changed in last month doesnt change note with speed just a constant drone coast in neutral still does it clutch in still does it

Ok next issue that has now cropped up sounds like wheel bearing drone from front but it's not the bearings it's coming from the middle so I'm guessing that's gearbox/drive shaft issue ? comes in about 40mph its not a whine it's a droning noise any ideas please ?

Final update on this as about to post the next problem! pluhs changed , no change , cel still coming on , sometimes 40 miles sometimes 200 miles cat it must be then

Haven't checked plugs if I'm honest , I'll get on to that , I forgot yeh I could fit cat , have looked at eBay but no 2005 , any advice on supplier pls? thanks

Another update been using shell vmax or bp ultimate for couple of weeks getting worse , engine warning light now coming on every 50 miles cruise seems to be red herring as I've not used it to see what difference there was giessing it's now time to look at changing the CAT bit what if it still does it ??

Been doing lots of miles since changed sensors still getting fault so have now run 3 tanks of vmax & bp ultimate through it. what I have noticed is if I am motorway drivIng using cruise all seems ok unless I have to cancel cruise because of slower traffic at a hill. If I put my foot down once able to speed up it seems to trip the fault. if I gradually build up speed then it's ok. Noticed it in A roads too, no cruise but get to a hill in 5th , put foot down and on comes the light. might be my imagination but I've obviously been paying attention to driving conditions driving style . this morning it came on after 66 miles of cross Yorkshire dales driving then stayed off for 250 motorway until I got to a hill on A9 and hit slow traffic going up hill. does this make sense or indicate anything to anyone ? thanks

Slight progress with no obvious cause ! light kept coming on (3 times since changing rear sensor) last time yesterday was just as i was heading for petrol . full tank of Sainsbury , reset code and would you believe 550 miles of cruise control ! filled with Morrisons petrol today - 100 miles later light back on. sure is a mystery

Nothing positive to report sadly 25 miles and lights back on , same code fed up pouring money down a black hole with this guess it now means it's definitely the cat ?

Ok update sensor changed , see pic of old one , and code cleared , p0420 but it says bank 1 after it , what does that mean ? wait for 100 miles and I'll update !!

I'm just outside Perth Scotland I've ordered one of the readers Mr B suggested to clear code. theres a local subaru independent near me and he's reset it twice when I got front wheel bearing fixed and again the next day when the light came on. he's of same opinion that next step is the rear sensor then cat being the cause

Don't think fuel is issue as not brand loyal first bottle of cat clean was with low fuel level and gave it a good thrashing , second soon after was with full tank. ill wait on gadget to clear code and change rear sensor , expensive but still cheaper than cat. front sensor was £137

Thanks for info wish I'd asked first before changing front sensor will get rear and change that and report back when I've done it thanks all
