Outback 2005 - how many reversing lights?
I'm assuming your talking about the front fogs ? Maybe a fuse or relay in the engine bay box, As for the rear brake light I think it's a daft bulb size maybe worth changing the bulbs before going any further

Brake Disks and Disk Pads?
Don't use copper grease on the pins, that's half the problem as it ends up breaking down and either cooking onto the surfaces or letting them seize. Something like this is much better http://www.eurocarparts.com/mobile/ecp/p/Accessories/Car-Maintenance/Greases-and-Oils/Grease/?526770250&0&cc5_150&gclid=CP3RoOjjzsoCFYPnwgodGoQFgg

2002 gearbox fault
Is it red line shock oil that's supposed to be good ? Have a look at the clutch fluid too thought my clutch was on way out in the summer as struggled to engage due to the fluid being very old, changed it and no more problems

What to do with stoppers
Black diamond pads and discs are good, low dust and great bite on the predator pads

Rear wiper
What year is the car ? My foz's wiring just wore through with the constant opening of the boot may not be getting constant power, do the rest of the wiper functions work ?

Rear wiper
Maybe take the arm off the motor run the wiper see where it comes to rest the pop the wiper back on in correct position. Mag work could just open up a can of worms Might be motor that's dying

Induction kit
If you do go down that route try and get one that goes into the void in the inner wing least it will stop some of the heat soak you get inside the bay

temperature gauge
It's fully automatic, will turn it's self off at some point when it 'sees' the inside temp/conditions are where it wants them to be, Apparently you can get into it using the free ssm software and remove the auto function

How have you fixed your pod
Double sided tape around the flange [emoji23] Mines not stuck on at the front, there's enough at the back to hold it in place,
-
Brake Disks and Disk Pads?
Stuck slider pins and that's about it, check that the pistons move freely too,

Another Head Gasket Post
I guess it depends how much needs skimming off the head in relation to the thickness of the gasket to maintain correct compression ratio, I'd go for a multi layer gasket type, @savagebulldogs is your man for a more in depth answer

Remap
I wouldn't worry about it mate, they all make power differently some take to it really well others just run out of puff early ( mine included )it was a bit dissapoijing at 1st that I didn't have the same pub numbers as others, it doesn't really matter, both classic &newage owners i've been out driving with are surprised at how rapid mine is on road and are always shocked that the result mine got was lower
-
Another Head Gasket Post
Boo, sorey to hear the bad news Doesn't matter which one is leaking best to do the pair and get the heads measured &skimmed accordingly, i'd also see if there's any little bits you wnat to do while it's apart, checking the valves etc, new plugs if they are due a change in the next year, i'd buy new bolts but that's just me, Sure someone who speaks more sense than me will come along in a bit

What to do with stoppers
No budget constraints i'd go ap racing

Unless you have an ecutek map on your car in the 1st place you'll have to buy the licence which is £250 ish off the bat plus mapper time & dyno I wouldn't expect to see much change from £500 [emoji22]

Pigman's family estate
I'd buy the best grade you can get over there and add a bottle, I know millers do octane booster as do others but I've never used them, Was in Wales last year and the nearest shell was an hour and a half round trip ! I feel your pain, what else can you get over there ? I'd stay away from texaco &BP subaru's don't like them for some reason, if there's any sainsbury 's there super is supposed to be ok
