What have you done to your Subaru today ?
Gaulson, have you had a look at your water line into turbo ? I had a whiff of coolant and turns out the line had Jsut moved slightly and wasn't sitting flush after doing some tinkering under bonnet Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk

JapShow 2015 - Sunday 5th July
Pete, do you pull your go pro footage with the importer/editing software ? Think I'm doing things wrong, as quality seems poor. I do the three stage thing of converting &compressing then save as an avi file ? This sound right ? I've a vid of clives 1st run that I'll try upload now off phone from gp Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk

Nope your right there, 95% of us use shell vpower. Wierdly dogconker has had better results with regular shell on his xv. Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk

Yeah it's massive dog, something like 17 million cars in the states alone, takata who manufacture the bags do it for just about all jap cars plus some other brands, weirdly it hasn't really been communicated that well here. The general line seems to be if your worried contact your dealer, judging by your most recent experiences I wouldn't hold much hope ! Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk

Got stopped at the lights by a chap in a blue wagon last night, seen him around a few times in leeds never acknowledged, but got a positive comment on my car and going up to squires at some point in the future to have a look at Leeds scoobies Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk

Lol good effort, looks good although I've always thought that the kits they use have some bits that don't look like they are in proportion with the rest of the car Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk

Any pics ghost ? I've not seen a classic just a blue bug with the front end and a huge odd shaped spoiler. Not sure they did as many tk scoobs compared to the Nissan ? Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk

It's probably due to how it's been registered when imported, what does your v5 say the car is ? To be honest tommy kira subaru's are like rocking horse poo. I've only ever seen 1 in the flesh and a couple on the Web. Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk

Exhaust needed
Oof cheers for the head up tom ! How long ago was it ? My mate seems happy and it's been on a couple of months now with no problems, I ended up going to UK performance in Sheff for mine, as I prefered the options available to me Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk

Wind noise
It's quite a common thing, just a poor design, there's plenty of diy fixes on YouTube or you could take the door apart and replace the rubber bit but it still won't go away entirely. The previous owner fitted wind deflectors over the door on mine hasn't made a blind bit of difference Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk

Hi, just joined up and thinking about getting a Forester
One other thing to look out for is if it has rubber spring assistors inserted between the springs, mine had non sls units and looked fine until I spotted them, once I'd taken the rubber assistors out the back end dropped Www.pedders.co.uk do bolt in replacmemts kits too Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk

Hi, just joined up and thinking about getting a Forester
Yes looks like it, if you go to view one another way of checking is by lifting the arch up and letting go, it should compress a little but if it feels really loose or saggy then it's on its way out or dead, You can get replacement shocks for about 80 quid a corner and around the same for springs, Mr b has a thread on here somewhere with part numbers, If you go see one and put an offer against it i'd try and get 200-300 off or have the garage replace it before you take delivery Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk

Subaru Forester 2.0d XC (58) Euro 4 DPF Problem
I'm not really clued up on diesels to be honest, if anything goes wrong with the van I send it to Ford. I have heard that loads of short trips will play havoc with dpf though, have you tried sticking it in 2nd or 3rd and giving it a welly ? My dad's diesel mondeo used to try and purge everything at full beans, leaving a massive soot cloud. After you could repeat the run and it wouldn't produce anything out the rear. As for the dealer & ssm2 software you can get a free version off the web to use with an odb2 adaptor cable, Have a read through this http://www.subaruoutback.org/forums/65-parts-accessories-performance/39426-freessm-complete-access-your-ecm-tcu.html#/forumsite/20514/topics/39426 Good bit of kit Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk

Disco springs on a forester
Hello & welcome, not seen it done or heard about it to be honest, not saying it can't be though, there are loads of different ways of raising them by all accounts, as mine was already wallowing around on dead shocks i went the other way and dropped it a little If Mr B doesn't have any tricks up his sleeve i'd have a look over on www.forester.org there's a whole section on raising them there Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk
