After owning the Forester for just over two months, I'm putting it up for sale. The main reason being the fuel consumption, 25mpg is just not what I'm used to, coming from a TDI Golf. I really like everything about the car, except the engine. I fear I've spent too much time in diesels Whilst in my ownership I experienced a breakdown caused by a split in the top hose to the radiator. Luckily, I managed to stop before it caused any further damage. I have fitted a second hand top hose and replaced the coolant with Halfords 5 Years OAT & Subaru Coolant Conditioner.After carrying out the coolant system repairs, the car decided it didn't want to charge the battery (I believe the alternator may have been damaged when the engine bay was soaked with coolant mixture). I have subsequently replaced the alternator with a second hand item and now it is charging properly.Car: Subaru Forester Turbo SEngine: 2.0l TurboTransmission: ManualMOT: Expires 19th May 2016Mileage: 125000Price: £1000Location: Batley, West YorkshireContact: 07900152783Here's the spec:2000 Subaru Forester Turbo S 2.0l Turbo 5 Speed Manual AWD Black 124268 Miles Full Service History Black & Yellow Leather Interior Heated Front Seats Front Arm Rests Large Sunroof Air ConditioningPower Steering Electric Windows Front Fog Lights Heated Wipers Heated Wing MirrorsHeated Wiper Blades12 Storage Compartments 5 Cup HoldersGenuine Boot TrayCarpet MatsDealer Accessory Forester Rear Reflective PanelWinter Tyres Prodrive Exhaust BackboxProdrive Rear Anti Roll Bar (Not fitted)Superflex Rear Anti Roll Bar Bushes (Not Fitted)USDM Side Indicators (Not Fitted)5x Dealer Workshop ManualsDealer Accessories BrochureHaynes Manual Bad bits: Small chip in windscreen, mid-passenger sideCrack on windscreen, lower passenger side, hardly visible Bodywork showing signs of age, couple of dents and some hazing to the paintHeadlight Washers not working, faulty pumpCambelt due @ 130k milesI am asking £1000, which I believe to be a very fair price. I will respond to all text messages/phone calls and PM's, but don't be surprised if you're met with hostility when you ask if I will take £750 and a packet of Rolos.If you view the car, offer lower than £1000 and give me justification for your offer. Then I may consider it.Upon viewing, if you insist on a test drive then I expect you bring the full cash amount and proof of insurance.If you have any questions, feel free to ask.The car is available for viewing most days in Batley, West Yorkshire

Long story short, all the above allow the Forester to be lowered without affecting the suspension geometry too much.

I believe to successfully lower my Forester I require: Impreza Front Subframe Bolts Impreza Transmission Mount Impreza Front LCA Mount Impreza Rear Antiroll Bar Mount Impreza Gear Linkage & Bushings Impreza Steering UJ

I'm after a few parts for my 2000 Forester: - Aero Locking Roof Bars (for solid roof rails) - Removable Tow Bar - Low Lip Boot Liner - Good condition Momo Steering Wheel - Clean non-yellow headlights - Offside Front Fog Light

I'm after a full set of good condition standard dampers and springs for a WRX Wagon to fit my 2000 Forester. I think it can be any between 2001 - 2007? I'd take some with lowering springs on too. I'm located in Leeds, willing to collect or pay for postage.

Will these fit a Forester SF?

Hi all, I've recently bought my first Subaru... a 2000 Forester Turbo S. Initially thoughts are positive, it's a bit rough around the edges and the interior is rather questionable (black & yellow stripes leather). But the car is used for my daily commute and will tackle the various household renovations tasks I ask of it. Hopefully it will last me a year or two without being too costly (famous last words). Plan is: Low! Wheels Tow bar Roof bars Change the Prodrive exhaust for something more discreet General tidy up
