Thanks for the heads-up; I'll have a look at them..

What are the best disc pads to buy for good stopping power?

Took a look on eBay - that's a nice low mileage care for not much money. If I didn't have the outback. I'd be tempted.

Thanks bear, I'll need to remember that.

Thanks Sandals, No electrics or sensors to worry about then.

Thanks Stants, No electrics to worry about then?

Question? When fitting new wheel disks or just disk pads; is there anything to be aware of? I have a 2.5 Outback 2002 model.

I do like the Outback.. love driving the old girl..

My leak is very small ; just a few droppers of water; I'm thinking it may be the wash-wiper tube off or cracked? I hope so anyhow. Like the look of your wagon!

Oh no, seems the lights on the Subaru's have a seal deterioration problem; lots of owners having the same problem. 5" of water Matt; you could keep Goldfish in there. ;)

I'm waiting for some really dry weather to take it apart. It rained yesterday and last night and it was dry in boot. if it is a leak from somewhere it has to be a very small one.

It's definitely coming in through the high-level-rear-brake-light. could it be the wash-wipe tube or sun roof drain? or possibly the light fitting itself?

Someone also mentioned that The light bar may need removing and re-sealing. Your thoughts?

How about posting a photo of your Outback?

That seems the most logical answer; I'd considered that myself; hope your suggestion is right, would be the easiest to rectify . Thanks..

Thanks I'll check them out, I do have the sun-roof model. Also meant to say the high level brake light..

I have a 2002 Subaru Legacy Outback AWD. UK Car .. Now with all this wind and rain we've been getting lately; I noticed that I have a small amount of water in the Boot (trunk) is seems to be coming in from the top light area on the tailgate ,, all seals appear to be in tact etc... Has anyone else experienced this?

South Wales; me too.. Welcome Craig.

Dalesman, We must kindred spirits; we think along the same lines. I also prefer petrol engined vehicles, even though the running cost is a little more expensive. I've been looking at the new 20L, outback - although I have decided to run my 2002 2.5, outback for some time yet, after all it's only done 57,000 miles. Would appreciate it if you posted a photo of your new Sabaru Outback.

The older model Outback and Forester; seem to have more class about them. maybe that's just how I see them?

I have the older model 2.5 engined Outback; and it manoeuvres a lot better than my 2004 Honda civic.

OK, I have a question about the New Generation of SUBARU's .. I have always liked the look of the old model Subaru's The older Outbacks and Forrester's the Late 1990's to 2003. Cars that were built to last; some with extremely high mileage on them; do you think the newer models will last as long and give the same service and reliability as the older models? if you were in the market for a change of vehicle (New or Used) what would you look for and why? I've noticed the the choice of engines in the Subaru's has altered a little 2Litre and 2.5,Liter, petrol. or Diesel 2,litre and 3,litre engines. What size engine would you opt for in your next Subaru Outback or Forrester? would it be petrol or diesel? Why? Do you think the 2-liter petrol and 2,litre diesel engines are as good as the 2.5,litre petrol engine? I'm really smitten with my newly acquired Subaru Outback AWD, It's a 2002 model that belonged to my Brother (who passed away recently) he bought the car when it was just over a year old; and it's done 57000, miles. I like it so much that I've decided to keep it. I had considered a newer version of the Outback or Forrester? But there seems to be a lot more character with the older models. I've read and followed a few discussions about this subject; What are your thoughts?

Thanks Gentlemen, I suspected it didn't have a turbo. Your input is appreciated..

Someone asked me if my 2.5 engine - 2002 Subaru Outback AWD had a Turbo? to be honest I don't know; although I couldn't find one under the bonnet. Any one know if this has a turbo?

Try Tesco Bank Insurance.. They beat any other company I've tried for the same level of car insurance cover.
