What happened to the td05 route ?

Hello & welcome, theres a buying guide here http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/topic/1619-help-check-guide-buying-1st-subaru/#entry45963 It mainly covers petrol cars so I'd just pick bits out that don't apply, there have been issues with the glowplugs on the diesels if you have a search on here or google it I'm sure it will bring some stuff up, looks like some owners are having them replaced under warranty and some are having trouble, I'd check to see if there has been anything done or in the history, unless it's a new car your looking at. We're all quite friendly on here so no need to worry feel free to join in and ask as many questions as you want :-D

Have you any cel lights come up even briefly ? May be worth checking the codes anyeay see if there are any historical ones. Have you checked brake fluid levels ? Or has there been any work done one the car recently ? I'd also check the abs fuse make sure it's not on it's last legs. As for the speedo needle i have no idea.

Thats quite worrying ! Theres plenty of them on ebay or import car parts will prob be able to get you new ones and all the associated items, I guess you'll need droplinks too

Both nick & Ash have said good things about GR performance in Rotherham

Are you fitting a thicker bar ? Whiteline do the uprated brackets to accommodate the thicker bars. If it's only the next size up maybe just change the bushes to the correct size

After all the **** taking managed to get some good pictures :-D Did you manage to get the door card sorted ?

I'm not sure I suppose it's down to whoever has done the conversion, and with the digital display may be different as j'm sure the ecu stores that info ? I Have a document for the importing garage saying he conversion was done at xxx kms and the speed restriction was lifted but the odometer reading stayed at the kms value but now reads in miles. But it still doesn't make sense as the paper work doesn't work on the division by 1.6. All I have is a bit of electrical tape stuck over the K on the clock face so it just says HM now haha.

Yes mate, although it depends on what it was imported as, my v5 says s turbo but if I give anyone he vin or reg it comes up as a GL model due to turbos not being officially sold until 98/99 Bit of a pain but our engines are the same as the version 3/4 impreza so 90% of the parts are interchangeable which is handy, As for the slap I feel your paranoia :-D although you may find different brands of oil will make it quieter, mine tends to slap until it gets warm so on my daily commute it's a bit of a pain. Just wait until winter :-D The trubo maxes out at 280 so I unless he's put a bigger one on then I'd go on your assumption that the seller was a bit shady. My odometer saye 225k but in reality it's only about 135ish after the kph/mph conversion . As for the dip stick it's all or nothing, between the two holes is the official guide with the notch at the top being for thermal expansion. I've never had to put any oil in mine between changes.

Motor wise ej20g power output 240hp when new uses a td04 turbo. So everythings good for about 275-280 with supporting mods. It would need a new ecu to dp this as the 97-98 cars can't be reflashed :-( As long as you look after it and service every 6000 miles it should last ages, Standar car sits on 16" wheels and has about 7" ground clearance being an import I'd only run it on shell v power,

No worries mate glad it was easy to follow, Nice car has it been lowered or is it just because of the bigger wheels ? Looks good :-D

Hi maye you need to click on copy link, that will bring up this box, then select the bottom box, should save it to clipboard then paste into the oc

Washed mine today but theres the biggest cloud approaching !:-(

I think it's subaru owners uk :-D

Got car washed in preperation for tonight's meet, found out the cause of the annoying tapping soune, 2inch screw in the middle of my n/s rear

No worries mate, Exterior shots ? Lols like you have an import so standard power was 240 supposedly So weather she has any mods and a map could well be more

Nope says error ?

Hi mate welcome, still can't see any pics though

I've found a copy of the manual on my pc, pm me your email address and I'll send it over to you if you want

If you call your local subaru deale they can give you the code , thers a copy of the manual somewhere on here I think. Orry cant be of more help I don't have that alarm on mine

Not sure Mate, your not parked near any radio equipment or power lines ? These cN play havoc with the subaru alarm. Can you put the code into the keypad and bypass everything to start the car ?

Ah ok, did you disconnect the battery when working or move anything to get to the iacv, coil pack or similar ? Could be a bad earth I'd check that everything secure, sounds silly but give the instrument cluster a good tap, maybe it's stuck, failing that I'd reset the ecu see what happens. Have you gaken it out for a drive yet ?

When you cleaned the idle valve, did you undo the screws on top of the unit ? If so did you make a not of where they were sitting ? That controls the idle speed so if it's gone back in a different position thats why your idle's crazy

Should idle better straight away. Its only used when the car is cold.

We've got to keep gambit in leather some how !
