Thanks for the help guys

Hello again to you all, I'm hoping you guys can kindly help me. Does anyone know if the wiring is in place to retro fit rear parking sensors? This is for an 05 2.0xt manual that I'm interested In. Other than the actual sensors themselves do I need to purchase anything else? Finally Does anyone know know what OEM sensors Subaru use? kind regards, Mick

Thank you Mr B, Wise words indeed. I will carry on looking and not let my heart rule my head.

Thanks guys, The owner said he has a fault code reader and that's how he found out it was turbo solenoid. By all accounts whilst fault is on the cruise control won't work? He clears code then for around a month all is back to normal. Forester is a 2.5xt on a 55 plate with 66,000 miles. has a few other issues, main one being no service history, mad I know. I'm looking on Autotrader and ebay

Hello again I have been talking to an owner who is selling a 2.5 Xt manual, he has stated that the engine warning light comes on and investigation says it's a turbo solenoid fault. Would this be expensive to fix and if left for any length of time damage the engine? Mick

Thank you Jay762, i really would prefer the manual to be honest but I just can't seem to find one that I like. Maybe I'm being to inpatient and keep looking.

Hello to you all, I have read quite a few posts on this forum, and I must say you guys have a great wealth of knowledge. I'm looking to purchase a Forester Xt and before I look I would kindly like to pick your brains. I'm torn between the 2.5 and the 2.0 both Xt 2005 models as you know is before the higher road fund licence and the end of the 2.0xt. is there much difference in the running costs between the two and between manual and automatic? I really can't decide between the two. I apolgise in advance if this subject has been asked before. kind regards, Mick.
