  1. Hah no worries you turned right in front of me as I was turning left down from cemetery road right behind you till the lights ! To be fair it was early and dark lol
  2. It's 3 little scrapes the bumper is a bit tatty but it's nowt major the wall is there every morning lĺk
  3. Red 07 plate forester xt with pistonheads smiley on bumper about 07.00 19/10 richardshaw lane turning left onto Stanningley bypass
  4. Hello & welcome sorry to hear about your problems, I presume you can buy spare parts, i'd be inclined to speak to baileys directly and see if you can order parts, not owning one I wouldn't have a clue
  5. If you have the pollen filter installed it will be under the glove box, it's a black box with a couple of screws and pull tab, mine is empty but you can buy them and stick it in where it belongs, been told they were a factory option but no idea if true,
  6. Right 3rd time of trying to write a reply ! Stupid phone, I wouldn't like to say about the belt intervals, maybe give your local subaru dealer call see what they say, i'd be sitting down when they give you costings, however a good independent will do it for at least half the price. The rear diff is 75/90 and I think the auto box uses dexron 3 atf fluid, again I don't know much about auto's, but www.opieoils.co.uk are a good place to start and we get a discount, again with the orange light may be an over heat warn light but a Google should give better indication, S/tb is sport turbo and manual t/tb is touring turbo and auto's may have different interior trim, do you have any wood in yours ? As for rear bushes there are loads, at least 16 so import car parts will advise you, could always polly bush it but they are more expensive. This is the majority of the rear end http://importcarparts.co.uk/parts-info.asp?id=10981 Obviously this is sti group n stuff so you could get oem rubber cheaper, Then you have droplinks arb and other smaller bits, I stuck a whitline 22mm rear bar on but I knew somone who was breaking a classic sti so snapped it up cheap, a bar from a classic impreza of the same year should fit and is alot thicker, they can be had relatively cheap and are on the bay. There's loads of aftermarket ones around too just depends on how much you wnat to spend
  7. Looks like that's been owned by somone who cares ! At the end of the day you could buy something cheaper and have to put load of money in at least that appears to have all the bist and bobs already sorted [emoji106]
  8. Hi mate, get some pics up always good to see another SF foz
  9. Could be worse least your not driving the whole way ! Got made to drive to Glasgow & back last year for a 45 minute meeting [emoji35]
  10. Hello & welcome, basically as ours are early cars they share 90% of the components on the impreza platform, so just about everything is interchangeable except the back section of exhaust as longer, springs/shocks due to extra weight, the pump will be fine is it an uprated unit ? It's probably juts taking a little longer to prime, Cambelt on manual is every 4years or 45 thousand Unless you've had the car on the dyno & remapped I doubt it's making 260, as the cars were supposed to make 237ps on 100 Ron jap fuel, had mine on the rollers this year and it didn't even make that, after map I saw nearly 230 with 250ftlbs of torque Www.importcarparts.co.uk are good for oem stuff, normal pagid discs and pads would be fine as the front does 70% of the work, The rest of bits and bobs scooby parts & scooby world etc on the Web are good for aftermarket bits I wouldn't go k& n unless dry as the oil cam affect the maf sensor better off with a cosworth or green. 5l should be ok for the box but not sure about auto's Anyway feel free to poke around and ask as many questions as you want
  11. Hello the knock sensors are known to go wonky so a replacement should sort that out, as for the O2 sensor not sure about yours but most have two one pre cat and the other post cat. I take it the alarm is the sigma factory unit ?
  12. Clifford g5 will do all of that along with setting the ac if you wish and cool down timer
  13. Easely rectified by a course of antibiotics [emoji55]
  14. Would cure my early morning winter slap [emoji23]
  15. Mmm not sure to be fair, I've seen the block heaters before they just plug in to one side, of you have no joy here may be worth looking at or cousins over the pond as loads of them use stuff like that in the colder regions of the states

    Wrapping

    Knowing you matt it will be on 3-4 weeks before you fancy a change ☺
  17. Yay ! K ew you wouldn't be gone long, with that kind of budget your world is your lobster, could even look at some widetrack sti's or newer spec c's although would be at the far end of budget, good luck with the hunt
  18. It's due a cambelt so I'd expect to knock off 400 at least (independent garage) double that for dealer , it's steep for the year looks clean, you'd prob get a bug for cheaper as they are slightly less loved,if it's close to you it may be worth a look but I reckon you'd find something you like if you kept hunting
  19. Should do as long as you have the right diameter middle section
  20. Oof ! 9L [emoji22] what mileage are you on ? I do my oil ever 5kish as mine's fairly old and fresh oil never hurts just debating weather to go upto a 10-50 for winter to quieten down the engine a little
  21. Glad to hear it ! I put the predator pads on in the summer great improvment, interesting about the filter too
  22. Agree with ghost, that's a weird thing to be saying, the only thing the oil does is cool & lubricate it, has should have no effect on what it spins at, they rotate at 100,000 rpm plus so a different oil shouldn't make a blind bit of difference, I've been told fully synth is slightly less viscose than semi so in theory according to your chap it should work better ? What kind of power are you after ? A 3 port boost solinoid would help control the boost better,did he give any indication of it was holding ok or bleeding off stx

    Spotted

    If I see it again I'll snap it properly,
  24. I've got the sodding things in the rear too so couldn't be arsed the sub makes up for the tinniness from not having proper components in the doors
