  1. Oooh nice I like these alot [emoji16] Amazon finally delivered my cable after telling me they couldn't at 12.00 this afternoon, Fingers crossed it works
  2. Hello nice to see you on here, I will be using you when I eventually get the money together, hopefully by that time there will be a couple of us up here that need your services make a day of it [emoji3]
  3. Hi mate, found a company in leedds that does high level spoiler with intergrated led brake light in primer
  4. Picked up car from matins bumped into ash 'working' on his car just needs a new cv boot and pads/disks on the rear for mot so happy days
  5. Sweet glad it was an easy fix. In future if you need to do it again just disconnect the battery for twenty mins
  6. Dropped car down at sss with martin for a service off to medowhall with the misses :O
  7. Best get knitting ! I've seen a few round town and they just seem to have garden parasol bases ? Still on the hunt of a flag pole too ;-)
  8. They are a fair bit more, at the end of the day just go oem ones as they'll last a good few years
  9. Hi mate, did he say which ones needed replacing ? If I was you I'd pay some one to do it fo you 1, because it's a pain in the !Removed! 2, it's more of a pain in the !Removed! than you even though it would be when you reached the end of the 1st step. They'll need pressing out and pressing back in. If it's the wishbone arms you'll need to get the car on jacks or a lift remove all the associated itens and replace. The bush sits between a peice of metal and a joining pin, so your suspension arms and anti roll bars will have a rubber bush at the end where the bolt goes into the subframe the bolt gose through he middle of the bush holding everything together alowing the arm to move freely up and down but cushioning at the same time Powerflex are polyurethane so last a lot longer than standard bushes but do compromise the ride making it harsher, but you do get better handling. Hardly noticeable really unless your on track. So you need to weigh up the pros & cons between them and oem ones. And value for money and what you want the car to do.
  10. Agreed mate looks good, having the same problem as david at the mo, I love my car but want another one :-D Wonder if running two scoobs would be as financialy ruinous as I have a feelng it may. After all the misses needs a car. On another not was hoping to get the subaru select stuff up and running today but amazon couldn't work out how to post a usb cable through my letterbox, better luck tomorrow
  11. Me too, although it's not showing
  12. WHOOP good skills chaps, bargain too
  13. Never looked into it. You may need to convert the entry point the 04 is straight entry and the 05 is a 90degree one if I remember Have you thought about a td04 hybrid ? Good for 300ish same spool time as yours and no modification required
  14. Ring do some super bright versions of there h4/5 halogens that are pretty bright not sure about the indicators as I've never used them Try this site www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk
  15. Are you buying new for the turbo ?
  16. Gibe simon @jgm a call or message him on here he'll tell you exactly what you'll need to hit 300 Do you not already have a stanard td05 on your car ? Shouldn't be too hard to acheive :-D

    Gotta love a struggle cuddle :O Good pics gem just picked up a 32gig card for my phone so no excuses next time
  18. Downloaded this http://freessm.software.informer.com/ ordered this http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/s/ref=is_box_?k=USB+OBD-II-2+KKL+409.1+OBD2+Cable+VAG-COM+for+VW%2FAUDI++ Should arrive tomorrow so hopefully I'll finally be able to have more diagnostic information than just the flashing light :-D
  19. stants replied to Gambit's topic in Car Shows
    It does help being a couple inches higher than everyone else ! I prefer the more direct route :-D
  20. Yo ! As for topping up fluids everything that needs attention will have a yellow cap on, so starting at left rear of the engine bay as you look at it you have your brake fulid resivior. Theres a nin and max line on all of the bottles. You may need a torch to see. & make sure you clean the yellow caps before removing as you don't want to get !Removed! in there. So have a look at the resivior and see if it needs anything. If so you need dot5.1 brake fluid. Top up to max line. Next is the clutch resivior should be a little further right and at the very back. Again check levels top up if required. You should be able to use the brake fluids for this too. Moving towards the right hand side you and at the front bleow the dipstick is the radiator expansion bottle this should again be half full when the car is cold. As for the intercooler bottle I'm not sure as I don't have a model wih the I/c sprayer I'm guessing that it will be at the back somewhere and look like a washer bottle As for a service pack I would assume it's a small one after the major so engine oil and filters. I'm sure aome of the newage onwers will be along to advise :-D
  21. http://www.subaruforester.org/vbulletin/f85/official-auxiliary-lighting-thread-838/ Good for some ideas
  22. Ah well at least you are getting there ! Thanks for the offer idealy I want something I van plug in and gather loads of info from I stead of just using the green & black plugs. Looks like up to 96 haf the nine pin yellow plug next to the pair of diagnostic ones. Still I came across an opensource version of yhe subaru select management suite awhile back but din't know much about it so did a little more digging today and am in the process of downloading it to my laptop and have ordered a cable that should work. Will keep you posted :-D
  23. I doubt theres a specific mounting for them easiest way to tell is pop the grill off but be carefull as there are hidden clips. Not sure if there are sepcific kits either. There are quite a few us owners that have the lamps on. Maybe check out forester.org as it mainly caters for our friends on the other side of the pond. 'Ll have a dig around after dinner see what I can find too
  24. Alright mate, just check all your hoses for splits or if they have come loose. Even if it's one at the intake side it will have a knock on effect. The ones around the turbo actuator (circular) shaped peice on top of the turbo shold have a t peice someomewhere underneath one should go to the boost solenoid attached to the top of the strut tower on the drivers side. One goes to the top of the manifold. Obviously check the intercooler hoses are on tight. Do you have an aftermarket dump valve on ? Sorry I'm at work and dont have a pictuee to hand gambit may be along in a bit with some diagrams Could always try pulling the battery and resetting the ecu.
