Hi guys,my drivers side front window wont go down or up,but when I press the switch I can hear the motor running,how do I get the door panel off to inspect the window linkage.
-
Hi guys,am looking to buy a k&n air filter for the 2.5xt forester,wheres the cheapest place to find one,ebay ones are around £43,can anyone beat that price,cheers.
-
mornin guys,managed to track down the subaru breakers that I posted about some time ago,only to find he only deals in imprezas,not much good to a forester owner eh.
-
As Mr B says the linkage IS for H.I.D. headlights.does anyone have a clue where to source one of these as theres only 2 on ebay and there in Lithuania @ £130 each+post,so my query is,are these headlights adjustable manually under the bonnet.
-
cheers Mr B,the linkage is only on the drivers side,and the only time I've driven the car at night,I thought then the headlights could do with lifting up,I'll have a look at that on ebay.
-
hi guys,when I finally got round to doing link rods,I found there was nowt wrong with them,passengers side still knocking,ball joint I think,anyway,when I took the wheel off the drivers side I noticed a kind of linkage coming from a plug which has broken away from a small anchor plate in behind the brake caliper,can any of you guys tell me the name of the linkage so I can order the part,cheers.
-
mornin guys,been meaning to ask,is there any way to turn down the revs on first start,when I start up in the morning the engine shoots up to over 1500rpm.
-
So,after my rant about petrol,I woke up to the news that Brussels is going to force our chickens*&t government to bring in a hybrid unleaded which is less efficient than our own,what next,papers please,or you ai'nt goin nowhere.
-
Cheers stants,could you please give me his email address or garage name and I'll look him up,also meant to tell the forum I've found out theres a local guy started up an exclusively Subaru breakers business,I'll find out more about him and let you know.
-
Mornin chaps,was flipping thru ebay and came across d.i.y. "performance chips",has anybody tried them,as these things are selling at £100-£200 they are somewhat cheaper than a garage remap but,are they any good or will they do damage.
-
so,on average vpower seems to be the petrol of choice,I'll try a full tank of that and see what the results are for my car,cheers guys.

Air con not needed up here mate,unless its to blow away the !Removed! midges

Hi guys,over the past week I've been to Fort William (for my sons wedding)then to the leadhills and a wee run on single track country roads,over 350 miles on various road types I've came to the conclusion that B.P. ultimate is the best choice of petrol for my xten regards mpg and performance,shell v power is better than ordinary unleaded,and for supermarket petrol that stuff gets nowhere near my car,so,has anybody else noticed a difference or am I thinking dearer is better.
-
Hi guys,am going to replace the air filter in my 2.5 xten,was thinking about K&N,then saw Pipercross are doing one also,what's the better of the two,or is there another better one available ?
-
Hi folks,are any of you using iridium plugs,and if so,are they any good,am thinking of trying them out.so whats the verdict on them.
-
Hi mate,did you change both parts or just the drop links,glad your sorted,cheers for that.
-
cheers guys,I was hoping that was the answer,I'll get the drop links and anti roll bar tested at the weekend.Also are the titanium spark plugs any good.
-
Hi guys,I am getting a knocking from the front end (around the bulkhead area I think)when going over speed bumps, small potholes etc,sounds like bushes somewhere,as I am disabled I can't get under the car to suss out the knocking,help please.
-
yes please.
-
har de har har,I was thinking of an electric one,how do I go about it.
-
mornin folks,as I've previously asked,why does the turbo foresters not have a boost gauge and how difficult is it to fit one.
-
touch pad nexus seven into a forester,I'm not good with electrics,or is it plug and play,advice please.
-
ooft smellovision please,think he wants new rubber now ha.
-
yup,looks like tom tom is the answer,now have a sat nav screen which only tells the time,or is there anything else I can use it for,a bit of a bummer this,since I was told by the garage it was working.
-
Hi,the xten is an 07 plate,which I managed to find out is a core 2 satnav. still not heard back from the garage I bought the car from,I think there trying to pull a fly one here.
