Second Gen 2.0 non-turbo MPG / Range
If yours is anything like mine i can get nearly 170 miles to half a tank then it drops like a stone between half and a quarter. Steady away i can get nearly another 100 out of the final bit and i've never had the reserve light come on. Real world driving round and about 50-60 is more like it. 300miles out of a tank is usual on long drives for me and mines an older model. Hopefully now i've changed the o2 sensor economy will be a bit better. Typed all that and realised yours is n/a !

Nick, i wouldn't like to say they have some on ebay but the newage ones look a bit weird with rotating holders. Could always mail the company and see. May even be albe to see if the have a european distributor save on shipping from the states

Saturday's the day!
The phone communicates fine with the headunit using bluetooth. The issue lies with the android os not being able to sync and import my contacts anymore when connecting through the usb as it automatically trys to put the phone into mass storage mode where as before you could just upload all contacts. I just have to dial through the phone instead. Whats more annoying is the fact i don't know who's calling now so cant screen my calls

I cant fault mine its just doing my head in that before i could dial up people from the headunit. Last time i installed the numbers i plugged the phone straight in but now won't recognise it Mine has ipod and usb conectivity. How do you load your contacts in ?

Which bluetooth unit do you have ? I've got the kbt100 wich is obsolete now so theres no support and since the last android update i can't load my phonebook into the headunit. :-(

02 sensor again
The one thats in the csr is exactly the same part number and length of harness. I thought it was an after market part but searching around it seems that the older cars use bosch. It's also saying that bosch make parts for denso. The generic ones don't appear to have holes so i'm not bothered. It was mor the fact that the company i bought it from had re bagged it. Just got to find a crows foot to fit now. Or lambda socket

02 sensor again
Decided to bite the bullet and replace my sensor. After hunting around and phoning subaru i bought one off the web it claims to be a genuine part but from what i've read it should be a denso. Whats turned up is bosch. Slightly confused as googling the sensor brings up ones for about sixty quid. Only the end is different has a load of holes in where as the ones on web dont Feel slightly duped but have no idea

Forester exhaust
Ebay had a couple last time i looked. Not sure what the differences are with your model but on the sf the hangers and length of the pipe are different. You can make the impreza ones fit but requires some welding

Manual gearbox oil.
going from memory it depends on what your using it for the LS is limited slip diff oil specific, so just go with the normal stuff for the gearbox, i'd double check 1st though but i'm pretty sure, could try opie oils, he's on here for more advice and to see if he can get the shell stuff for you

Whoop ! Glad you like it. When was the last mayor service done ? Should have been includes in that. I'd have a look see what condition the belt has done as they are supposed to be done every 40k i think. Mine has the same amount of mileage and i was told the belt had at least 20k left on it but with no record i wasn't going to chance it. When it came off the idler and pulleys looked ok as was genuine subaru belt. It's an expensive job but for piece of mind i'd get it checked
