if no luck you can get yours reconditioned...they'll come back like new anyway ! http://www.biggred.co.uk/ or similar.....

you could try importing one...bound to be a few left in japan surely ?

why not remove it and make a new one using the old one as a template...not difficult if you know someone handy with a sewing machine. easy enough to source a square of black leather.. just an idea..

at £400 whats not to like ? even if it needs a new window motor or switch... not sure but would have thought all windows would be on one fuse... unless it's a complete dog it'll be worth more in parts !!!

diesels can and have been problematic, with known issues...could you not source a replacement lump if the rest of the car is in good nick ?

none listed on "how many left" and not heard it mentioned on here but others may know more...

welcome, you've come to the right place. 🙂

good luck and i hope all goes well...🙂

all i know is early ones had crank/big end problems, later ones were supposedly better but there are plenty stories of them going bang at 80-90k..... advice is generally to go tried and tested petrol, but main thing is a FSH and stick to regular servicing at the recommended intervals.. for every story about 200k plus with no issues there are equal stories of terminal trouble. fwiw subaru aren't going to make diesels after this year. they were late to the party and are getting out early. draw your own conclusions !!

not a clue but at least i gave you a response !!! (i read your answer to another question)..😉

did you put something on the passenger seat ?? it's pretty sensitive so might it be the belt alarm ? or not .

took the OB in for airbag recall + intermediate service and aircon regas... all good. (although apparently there was 40% too MUCH gas in the system and only 10% of the oil needed for compressor...) so must have been like that since i bought it last august..🙄

£600 is about par for the course for a powerflow/longlife cat-back stainless system on the H6. or you could pay that just for Haywood+scott back boxes !! (louder) https://www.haywardandscott.com/subaru/legacy/subaru-legacy-2-5-3-0-litre-rear-boxes-to-fit-saloon-models-2004-onwards.html

traffic on here can be a bit slow at times and you're unlikely to get fast answers but at least you'll get the correct advice ! afaik there's a lot of rubbish spouted on FB by eejits and trolls, but then again i don't do FB...work of the devil imo !!! long live proper forums..🙂

wouldn't it be more economical to hire a car during uk visits ? no outlay, no maintenence and no hassle !!

you could get the caliper/s rebuilt, with ss pistons... http://biggred.co.uk/ there's prolly a company near you. others here may be able to advise further. 🙂

the sensors won't register the towball (even if it's a fixed type) but will spot the A-frame !!

why would you need to switch them off ? do you tow ? even aftermarket ones could be modded with a switch.

glad you seem to have found the culprit/s... you could try partsouq for new bits. https://partsouq.com/es/catalog/genuine/locate?c=SLR1303

how are you liking the michelins ? thinking of going the same route when my toyos need swapping.

been there, done that and got the t'shirt with the SAC !! 4 hours of my life i'll never get back !! 😇

there's a few years of happy motoring ahead for me then...mine currently wearing 36k miles !! welcome btw. 🙂
