Complete Blue Print clutch kit from a '99 Forester Its done about 10,000 miles and in good condition probably fits most subaru from 96-02 [see the chart] £45 + p&p or can be collected cheers

that's flour to you :P san

should be there, if you spot a scruffy green forester with ridiculous mud flaps... say hello :D san

'tis a mere scratch..... :lol: at least no one was hurt :D san

Not been on alfamoaner for a long time either for same reason san

HAHA! you're not Wombat on alfa155.org are you? he has a thing for 33's and freelanders :lol: san

advisory on rear brake flexies but that can wait till the weather gets better :) but got an interior to sort for the Alfa before then san

can't say they were that difficult.. would have been easier if I had taken the battery off san

FINALLY!!!!! fitted new cat and it went through putting out fresh air (almost) so after all the new bits I've fitted it now runs like new and should fly through MOT for the next ten years @Gambit, very friendly mot place... two tests and numerous gas checks £20 + set of alloys :D :D thanks to everyone who made suggestions san

all codes are fine just can't get the CO down enough l for long enough for it to pass san

was talking about problems with mine and if i remember correctly the symptoms could be MAP sensor there is a subaru specialist on hawthorn avenue in hull near the rock city climbing center (next to the railway crossing) the guy there seems to be quite friendly and i'm sure he would be able to dort your problem out san

a quick catchup as the rest of the thread has gone awol..... spent the morning checking, tightening cleaning etc... took it for a razz and a recheck but cannot get the O2 readings down or to stay constant and as i can't find any air leaks the only other things it could be is either coolant temp sensor or cat san

finally found the section on knock sensor in the workshop manual, got out my trusty multimeter and did a resistance test on the sensor and it failed (open circuit) so looks like it a new one from import car parts :D san

Finally got a chance to have another look at the codes and disconnecting the battery for a while does seem to clear the codes this time only one 22 - knock sensor so now I need to find out if it's the sensor or a symptom of something else although having googled symptoms it would explain a few things anyone have access to autodata and be able to find the resistance for the sensor? san

yup. that's the best way for a forum to work ;) san

Cheers for that well I disconnected the battery for about 25ish minutes then I've been for a good razz round light came on - went off - came on - went off etc....... stayed off for quite a while then eventually came on and stayed on for quite a while I'll check the codes again in the morning and we'll see what happens next san

OH and how do you rest them (apart from disconnecting the battery) san

Right! Finally had time to get this done and yes it worked got 22, 26, 33 which is : 22 - knock sensor 26 - intake air temp sensor 33 - vehicle speed sensor I've replaced the speed sensor about six months ago as there wasn't one connected its had a full service at about the same time along with belts and water pump so is it worth resetting the codes and see what happens? san

Cheers for that although there is a OBD style socket under the dash which is what has been used to plug in the code reader.. and I thought alfa's were odd right, will try this and report back cheers san

How hard can it be? Hi guys Been trying to find what the check engine without much success its been on and off for months but now the car has faiiled its mot on emmissions (not by much) so i was hoping that this could shed some light on what the problem might be but cannot get anything to communicate with the cars system so i was wondering if anyone knows what system subaru used for this vehicle as it doesn't appear to be OBD (1 2 or E or any other variant) 1999 Forester non-turbo (bog standard) cheers san
