cheers for that,once done I will treat the aircon same as our other motor.....its on full time....I think I,m like most people and only gas when its gone...will give this yearly job some consideration

Bah,next search is for the plastic panel things for the rear hatch panel,Halfords,Wilco etc are next to useless,now waiting for a call from Subaru in P'boro,so I will remain seated so I don't damage the furniture on the way down.

Brave man

Cool, I have found a second hander for 90 gibberish all in on ebay,will update gotta go shopping

Cheers for the replies,mine squeals like a pig,you can see the clutch popping in and out and looks like it's struggling to turn.the belt looks okay but you can see a bit of the rubber seal thingy coming away.The crappie who does my mother and bits reckons that the shafts could be on its way out.I Have found a supplier of second hand bits on ebay and I will be giving them a call on Friday.Luckily I don't,then need the aircon for demisting, so I have it turned off as I don't,then want to run the risk of the clutch whacking the rad.All that being said I,myself really enjoying the drive,even the auto gearbox,even the fuel bill,lovely car to drive

My recent purchase of the 2001 h6 outback has thrown a wobbly,looks like I will need a new aircon compressor,any advice on where to buy without remorgaging the house

good morning dude,yep, could be an expensive adventure but I would rather take a hit on reselling it to someone who would benefit from it.I know what you mean about autos, I had always slagged them,it was my first go at it on Fridayand it went ok,its a very lazy way of driving,anyways gotta go and take the niece to some kiddies zoo thing,hoping to get some real poo on the outback tyres.

Hi,many thanks for your kind replies,i have got some pics of the Burgundy beast ,which I will try and get on here.But sadly after only a few weeks of ownership we must part.The story so far is that I purchased a 1997 Legacy with 214k on the clock,its got a few scratches and drives like a dream(with a few rattles here & there).Firstly the "engine check fault" light would come on intermittently but it went through its MOT with only a couple of bulbs to replace,after this I fuelled up to the max for the second time and low and behold the filler neck pipe has decided to spring a leak.So I got on the net and searched for the part(not easy),I was losing heart but enjoyed looking at some of the other models.My work is a bit busy and I don't have acres of time for what could be a big project.....so.....yesterday I became the proud owner of a 3ltr outback on an X plate.As I have never driven an automatic before I was a bit apprehensive but the 100 mile + journey home was really cool.I would love to keep both but we don't have the room.Anyway ,sorry about the delay in replying.I'm hoping that we will have some decent sunshine tomorrow for some pics of the new beast.I'm not the best on these computer things but I will try and get the old finger out.

Hi,all,had my legacy for about 6 weeks and love it
