Will the 2017 car tax changes see the return of big dirty engined scoobs to the UK?
To be fair anything that you can get 30mpg out of isn't really that bad, i've ranted before and i'll rant again, just ban disel busses from city centres carbon emissions slashed eu targets hit, public transports !Removed! anyway no where near other cities in the world, i can drive to work park and what not for cheaper than a weakly ticket, i don't have to sit with a load of knob heads listening to music or generally disrupting other people for a laugh, besides if i don't want to drive(childcare necessatates dirving most days) i can cycle or walk, wheres the incentive for me to get stuck in a line of 4 busses all Going to the same place for an extre 40mins onto my journey Sent from my SM-T210 using Tapatalk

Will the 2017 car tax changes see the return of big dirty engined scoobs to the UK?
Been seriously weighing up the idea of the 500 quid tax bracket cars, I use mine as a daily so would get my money's worth, although I'd resent paying it, it's only another 200 + more than I pay already, but for those who don't use it as a daily then it doesn't make much sense, unless yours stupidly rich then it doesn't make any difference, The problem with this is that rich people who have lambo's etc maybe only do 2k miles a year so it makes the argument of bigger polluting cars a bit of joke, I guess with the small under 99kg emmissions band too many people were going down that route d the government has said hey up were missing out here

Subaru outback 2006 atf fluid
Is it for the box or power steering ? Any of the three mentioned above will do th job as long as it meets the oem spec, Millers or fuchs then castor is what I'd go with, have you looked at opie oils site ? We get discount too

Electrical problems on my classic PLEASE HELP!
Imports don't Come with alarms standard so if may just be the way it works, do you have the two button key ? May be worth taking the door cards off to see if there are any locking actuators attached or not ugged into the loom, Does the door light work when you open the doors or just any time if feels like ? Sounds like somone may have hacked into the loom at some point and made a mess of things, i'd also check the big fuses in the engine bay as they do corrode over time so could just be making contact randomly Sounds like it could be an earthing problem, do you have a multi meter? Would help you out no end

Aftermarket cruise control
I guess it would be a bit of a pain as the ecu would probably need changing to one with cruise then need mapping to be able to get the most of out of the sti side of things,

New clutch needed....... Advice
The blue box is standard, pink is uprated, so you could get away with a blue one, depends on who you speak to, scooby clinic reckon the blue would be fine up to 300

It should run ok it does on win 7 I'm in the mode of a field at the mo but if you do a search from ssm2 there's a good thread on subaru forester.Org about it and what you need, I'll post up links later. As for dongle for iPhone I think you need a wifi one, have a look in the app store for odb2 app

Need a new turbo, but which?
Also to throw the td04 & 05 hybrids into the mix not sure about cost but you could supply your existing one and get it converted

What kind of phone fo you have ? You can get dongles that connect to your phone for a fiver that will do a good job, alternatively you could look at downloading a free copy of the subaru select monitor 2 that will require a laptop to run but it's specific to subaru and will do a lot more than the generic ones above

Can anyone in the north/northwest keep an eye out
Posted this from UK forester just doing my bit to help reunite the owner with his car 1997 Forester T/tb (J5 TRV) was stolen from my driveway last night. Audacious thieves indeed seeing as the car was parked underneath our bedroom window and we only heard the flat four rumble away when it was too late. Police and insurance now notified. If you could keep your eyes peeled for this distinctive car (black, gold wheels, grey leather interior, automatic, private reg!) in the Bradford, Halifax, Keighley and Skipton area. Much appreciated. http://www.ukforester.com/forums/index.php?/topic/442-My-Forester-stolen-last-night-(06-08-15)
