Thanks for that, Halfords I presume?

Hi, Does anybody know if its an easy job to adjust the headlamps for European driving on the Forester SH? Paul

OK I have the tea shirt! If you get the engine warning light for your glow plugs, yes it disables the skid control. The offending plug is almost guaranteed to be the one behind the alternator! the conductive dust off the alternator deposits on the plug insulator and puts it out of specification. Yes the £28 glow plugs off ebay work as long as you select gen2/ XV spec. Don't worry if its not ceramic! You wont snap off your plugs if you undo half turn and WAIT 10sec, then another half turn until the plug turns freely. It is the friction heat undoing the plug in one hit that seizes it and makes it snap!! Then check the fuse as the dust deposits may have taken it out. Subaru's engine is about as good as a 2L diesel gets, £28 will fix 90% of this fault.
