New owner looking for info
Hello & welcome, Google is your friend, many aftermarket sites scoobyworld & scooby parts to name a few for shiny & upgrade parts, oem bits best place is usually www.importcarparts.co.uk and for small bits dealer isn't that bad clips etc, Turbo 2000 isn't gonna offend anyone either that or just call it a classic [emoji1]

Minor brake issues
They will fit, do you have the normal 4 pots on ? Could always send yours away to godspeed in Wales, they normally have re furb ones on the shelf, have stainless pistons so shouldn't seize again. Send them yours and you get a nice shiny set back ready to go, They are usually pretty quick in getting them out, they may even do a surcharge service, (not sure as I just sent mine away)

Looking after my Forester.....
Glad your enjoying the purchase [emoji3] Pressure washing, just avoid obvious things like pointing Lance directly into it, (sounds daft I know but I watched a car wash chap do it to mine) he ended up bending the intercooler fins [emoji35] I usually wash the bonnet from the wind Screen down, and aim the lance towards the front end, that way I can give it a quick blow over and the water isn't directly going towards the scoop, if your concerned you could always put a small towel over the intercooler and shut bonnet that should catch any stray water Luggage covers are like rocking horse !Removed!, they surface on the bay occasionally but are daft money, you could try breakers, grade a subaru are usually pretty good, may be worth finding out if they are the same size as the impreza hatch, As for roof cleaners ut's a pain as I tried once and got soaked, resorted to taking it to an auto valeting place where they had a wet vac, if you replay want a go at it yourself, autoglym do a foam shampoo spray which is a bit easier to work with than the normal cleaning agents

Like a clunking sound from front left??
Could be many things, Ball joint, arb droplinks, arb bush, suspension topmount, Start with the ball joint, Jack car up give the offending wheel a wiggle see if there's any play, also get a pry bar between the arm and see if there's any up down movement, Then the rest would be visual inspection of the bushes, if you end up changing them and it still persists i'd hazard a guess at the top mount but as they are the most expensive of the list, start by eliminating everything else before changing that

330s project stealth
I installed mine with the turbo in place just used a set of ramps and some needle nose pliers, was a bit fiddly as the blanket is pretty stiff when new. An extra pair of hands would have been helpful but doable on your own, I'll dig out a pic or two
