Our 2004 forester x has a broken front near side window mechanism, I take it it's the motor as when you press the button to go down it just makes a clicking sound but no movement, any advice, help, or pointers (no instructions that I would find physically impossible if you get my drift ) hehe

Our forester ( 2004 awd X 2.0 ) passed its mot today ! Lucky there was no feathers about it would have knocked me doon! Advisory points but, rear subframe rust, brake pipes, seat belt anchor points all with insignificant corrosion. So we live to fight another day. Saying that I got to put petrol ⛽️ in it. Then the wee wummin promptly kicked me to the kerb. Wummin are so kind, generous, warm hearted, etc if I only knew one. Eeeekkkkk, I am determined to catch the wee ant at the bottom of these posts. Keeps me happy.

Thanks guys, I get a wee kick when people take the time to help, it's good 😊

Hello, I was on another web site and it had the wee ant crawling about and I immediately tried to squash it, then I remembered I had seen it on this forum, oh technology it's great, never too old to learn, no fool like an old fool, etc they all apply to me doh.

Hello peeps another new member here, I am looking to try and get a rear subframe for our 2004 forester 2.0 litre X either original parts numbers, some method of cross referencing numbers, that kind of thing, or I think I'll just go stone mad 😡 and partake of the falling down watter ( Scottish pronounciation) aaaaaahhhhhhhh, thanks

Your no stuartie Hogg are you ? Lol fame at last

The weather up here is at it, am I allowed to say it's too "warm" funny enough I've not been in the hydro yet, being in the zimmer age group noo it's no gigs I go to now it's casual get togethers, I'm (53) and a good night oot is just a distant memory. Oh when I was a boy. No sign of a subframe yet the mot is due end of January. I was on eBay last night and there's one for sale (56) this time, from the same guy. Very strange.( ?) I mean another forester in mint condition with 12 months mot, just like the one we bought

Cheers stuartie thanks for the welcome, how are the borders this time of year ? A great part of the world cheers bud

Hello just browsing through these posts can anybody give me any info or where to start looking for any other subframe alternatives to my 2004 forester or should I just get a bus pass ? Cheers bud

Just reading my post, I'm not claiming to be smart, doh ! I was talking about the ant. I really struggle with these things / forums, last night (Friday) I spent ages trying to find my post and then tonight I noticed that I had to sign in, I think I'll start a forum for those of use who can't cope with forums ! Happy Xmas to all

Hello folks I am new here so please be patient as I need to learn the ins and outs, ta, my wife drives a 2004 forester, I can no longer drive due to eye condition, I'm kind of like the wee felt dugs that used to sit in the rear windows of cars, in a galaxy far far away. We have the 2liter non turbo all weather car, with 96,000 on the clock and it cost us £1550. A couple of days after purchasing it, the rear brake pipes failed, something else but I forget but anyway the mechanic says we might need a ( new one ?) rear subframe. Car is due its mot in January sometime. Any suggestion much appreciated, when I said " we" I meant the car as we are far too much gone for any help.

I hope to find you's tolerant, a very rare commodity. I was just reading through some of the comments and I spotted an ant on my screen and I spent 5 minutes chasing it, I'm not the sharpest tack in the box, but very clever, I'm noo exhausted
