shms

might it be to do with the baffled sump ?

might be an idea to say what models they are...🙂 (unless they are both svx)

i have that in mine but you need a new harness from the HU ... i found the 3.5mm socket part on ebay usa, from a breaker. but some folk fit a simple 3.5 in the ashtray. simple fix on the Kenwood set up. useful for playing tunes from your phone etc . £20 for the wiring. try contacting Subtechacy on http://www.uklegacy.com/forums/index.php?/forum/1-general/

you sure it's not from the engine ?

hi, sorry can't help with the wiring as mine is 2007 and 7 pin x2, but am intrigued that you are happy to tow with the fridge running on gas. whilst not illegal it's nevertheless fraught with danger so assume you're on board with the possible risks of a naked flame ! btw are you aware that you MUST turn it off if pulling into a petrol station ? and not when arriving at pump but before you enter. also if the fridge is of the absorption type it's very intolerant of not being level and being subject to going round corners, so your food may not be as cool as you hope on arrival ! it's easier to precool overnight on 240v before travelling and pack food in a insulated box (with ice blocks) carried in the car (less towed weight !!) Jmo and i hope you never have a shunt on route...🙂

i was gonna ask the same !! nowt wrong with a tribeca but the leggy is a cracker.

tbh that sounds a bit high, i'd have thought more like 6-7k if it's in A1 condition. bear in mind dervs are falling in the popularity stakes and subaru diesels don't have a good rep... maybe you should auction it with a reserve you're happy with,,at the end of the day it's only worth what someone else is prepared to pay.. GLWTS...🙂

i've heard good things about these guys but not used them myself...yet ! https://www.stephensengineering.co.uk/ assume your local dealer is Adams in Aylesbury ?

i'd say if you're towing with cvt then a change of fluid is deffo a good idea. i notice the towing weight allowance has dropped on the cvt versus torque converter. as for the fluid i would try an indy autobox specialist first as yours won't be the only cvt they're likely to be doing,,might work out cheaper than a subaru dealer. either way changing the fluid will be a lot cheaper than a new box...😉

always best to replace springs/shocks in pairs....

are the corresponding wires the same colour ?.. if so you could bridge them temporarily to check the seat functions as it should ? or check them with a multimeter..

i'd add ...check the droplinks are in good nick, they cause annoying rattles..also the bushes in the front lower arms...not expensive. the spec b's are usually on bilsteins which do corrode over time, many might have been changed to alternative coilovers. again check for any knocking. engines as stated ^^^ are pretty bulletproof if regularily treated to a decent 5-30 or 5-40 you could do worse than read some threads on http://www.uklegacy.com/forums/index.php?/forum/1-general/

bearing in mind the season you might be wise to think about all-season tyres if you don't fancy winters... lot of good feedback on michelin cross climates... nokian seem popular too..

what's the idea behind the front numberplate ?

24-5 on my OB mixed driving...over 30+ on long runs...using S mode daily and keeping S# for annoying bmws.

afaik you can't carry a full size spare in the wheel well in yours but there are options.. this might explain.

it should be like this then...

surely the red is12v supply and the black is earth/ground ?

try a local breaker, is yours a late Gen 3(4) facelift or an early Gen 4(5) the clue is the door windows...framed or frameless ? or put up a thread in the Wanted section. 🙂

if you don't know PIN then quick fix is a dealer visit who can erase and input your new choice of numbers... maybe other ways but it worked for me.

hope you got it resolved and if so what was the result ?...🙂

same as mine....🙂 things can get complicated with differing specs for different markets...

not all models have LSD, for a quick explanation take a look here... http://www.awdwiki.com/en/subaru/#With__TV1_VTD_4__and_5_speed_automatic_transmission_

the beeps should get more frequent as you reverse then give a solid tone once you are within inches from the obstacle behind, they are pretty accurate in mine anyway.. no idea how to disable, others might know...😕
