I dread to think what ideas you have !

On way to collect some seats today, came on about an hour into my journey while sat at 50 literally blinked then went out happened again an hour later same thing. On return journey stopped for food plug diagnostic in to see what was up and no faults came up. Didn't happen at all on way back. Two months ago i got a reading of o2 sensor cleared it and never came back. Any ideas ?

They are sat at work at the mo so i may attack them monday. Give them time to dry over christmas fit on friday when back at work :-) Thinking anout sticking them in me van and taking hem to the local hand car wash see if they can do them with valeting machine

There's no chance of driving like a tool towards his as the road is horrendous if i remember :-)

Juat picked up some seats but are in need of a clean. Misses has one of those steam cleaners. Anyone used one on car interiors before ?

No chance of that for me this year, none of the misses's family drive so muggins here is des driver. Only day i don't have to go anywhere is christmas day

You don't need to be left alone for that to happen. I'm sure that boke in your sig lives on the farm

I'll prob not be able to get down till at least the 2nd week in jan

Oh well cheaper then :-) hopefully !

No worries :-) Thats based on a 16" rim think yours may be an inch bigger Don't know if you'd be able to get them cheaper else where of you shop around. My work has an agreement with them to supply our vans. Usefull to see whats availabe for any car though.

:( gutted for you mate,

Re manual, i'm sure gambit will have one hidden somewhere. I'd always say just go with the best tyre you budget will allow as it's the only thing keeping you in contact with the road. I've been looking at the michilen and goodyear ones they aeem to have the best combination of all things

Quite a lot of the forester ones seem to be a trade off between noise/ wet weather ability or noise/ economy. With it being a reinforced tyre it limits choice some what. At the end of the day there are 4 driven wheels so wet weather handling is better anyway. When i bought my foz it had two new budget on the rear and two nearly new budget on the front. I'll put something decent on next time round but i've not had any problems in the wet or off road so far see how they are in the snow. They also have a better score in the wet than some premium brands. Downside is noise and fuel economy

If everything goes to plan i'll have the seats from my forester spare. I don't know how much they differ in size and height to the buckets but it will be a more upright driving position for your girlfriend.

J As in it won't arm while running ? But if hand brake released the engine will cut and immobilser will kick in after 30 secs anyway ? My old hornet alarm had a tt function but i didn't have a turbo :-D have a viper one installed and it says in manual there is a passive arm that can be programmed in after 30secs may just speak to the chap who installed my old one and see what he says Is there much difference between the type 1 and type 2 hks timers ?

Thanks :-) 1st one i've done. After a couple days driving and you can tell the difference. The pedal doesn't feel as slack and soggy when pressed and i'd say it's worth the pennies. Wether the cusco cdf or other makes are worth the premium is hard to tell without trying each one

Hi were you the chap withbthe problem with a canister in your forester ? Can't remember due to post deleting

What size rims were the old ones ? If same size why not swap onto new rims get some winter tyres for old ones ? Save all the nasty salt from getting in those lovely new wheels

Don't mean to hi jack the thread. Jow does this work with the alarm/immob ? I'm lookong at getting one purely cos i now live in a block of appartments. Car is parked in a secure garage and in the morning i want to warm it for 5 10 mins and go have a brew, have an aftermarket alarm and just wonder what are the complications ?

Hello, I've never had a 4x4 before either or anything turbo'd apart from my vans. Although my foz is a petrol and a bit older than yours i love it. Fuel economy isn't much different to my mx5. Comfort ride are a difderent level and the fact that's high enough to get off road occasionally but not to high that my misses struggles to get in is great and it handles like a car instead of a big suv.

It went something like this **** **** **** i'moff home for a beer i forgot to add the pic of the contents of the kit. All washers were put on by me as i knew it would be a good idea. Plus the old man was an engineer by trade so wold have got aslap for doing a shocking job :-)

Jay, it was only after i did it up and stood back that i realised i haddn't put it on :-( when i get round to it i'll put one. Christmas shopping today whoop !

Cheers apart form the typo haha

Right if anyones interested just posted a write up in the foz section, if i've missed anythingor it looks rubbish give us a shout and il ammend it. If in wrong section please move it mods :-)
