Tied up in nottz here

Lol yeah I know ...to be fair if I had nice rims they would be messed up in a week the xt is a work horse and I like the sleeper effect 😉

My fozzy xt in the background and the wife's new cooper s coupe in the foreground we are both 45 ...your only here once enjoy it !

Congratulations

Beautiful motor you have there ...I'd like a STi forester next the only thing that doesn't work for me is I do a little of roading with shooting so i got the XT but a STI is definitely on my to own list ... I wouldent dare attempt a timing belt change ...well done

I did half a tank yesterday on a 35 miles round trip... I picked my brother in law up it was his first time in the forester so I gave him the full experience

Had a busy day ....feels much quicker

Forgot to add and upset a few hot hatch owners in the process. ...love the sleeper effect

I can take a old fridge to the tip in my forester xt in half the time it would take me in the vitara.

Welcome. ..very tidy looking motor you have there ...I've just got a Forrester myself and like you I'm blown away with it there a awsom bit of kit

Hi and welcome ...sorry to hear about your injuries it can't be easy for you ... I'm fairly new on here also and people have been very welcoming and have been great at providing me with information about my forester. ..i seen the car you are selling looks a real classic and will be a great bargain for someone .....good luck with everything and i hope you find the car the good home it deserves

I give the forester 5 minutes idling on the driveway in the morning and as others have said I stay of the boost for another 10/15 minutes of driving at least

Thanks for the advice Mr B .... all is good at the moment I've been checking it all thorough the temperature range and its starting fine every time "if" it does again then i will investigate further but I'm reluctant to throw money at it at this point in what could be a ghost Chase I've done it before with other cars...I will keep a close eye on things and see how it goes.

I think your right about the ecu throwing a wobbler ...I left work put another tank of v power in and had half a hour of fun... the car felt more responsive... i then came home put the car on the drive and let it cool. I've just been out to try it and it started straight up ....hopefully fingers crossed its sorted now. ...I've not bothered resetting the ecu as all seems good now so I'm happy ...if it ain't broke and all that ....thanks

Just a thought tell me what you think.. Last week I decided to treat the car to a tank full of V power...this problem started when I got down to about quarter of a tank of the v power.... Could the v power be the problem? could it's cleaning effect have dislodged some dirt causing a blockage somewhere.... The car has been totally fine today no problem whatsoever I've been starting it at different intervals and it's started first turn everytime..
