Binned it. Need New Tyres.
btw, i'm sure you don't need reminding that you should'nt have unmatched tyres on either axle... 4x4 really love same tyre/equal tread all round if poss... **assume you put the bridgestone in as a spare and now have 4 falkens ?

Free mats (p/p only)
Ok, just removed these Subaru rubber overmats which came with my recently purchased Outback...but are deffo not designed for the Legacy floorplan. (i've replaced with a "correct" set) Hoping they will be of use to someone here who can identify/owns the model they are designed to fit. No wear on ribs so suspect they were bunged in mine to cover carpet before sale. Could do with a scrub but are in VG nick. Just p+p for any takers...

New Owner - another new forum
hi, the socket and cabling kit back to the HU are like rockin' horse sh*t now...(and way over £100 if you can source overseas )and the Aux button only responds if summat is plugged in... i managed to find a socket in USA and got a scooby guy from glasgow to make me a harness so i can retrofit.. alternative hacks include putting the 3.5mm in the "ashtray" next to the 12v outlet. (less cable) others have substituted a new all singing HU or an aftermarket kit that uses the CD input to power an aux socket....(assuming you don't play CD's anymore) cheapest option to access your toons is FM transmitter ......i'm sure others here will advise..

Outback Sat Nav
yep, bought the update from them ^^^ and worked straight out the box,, no issues. it doesn't update the UI only the maps.... checking the version on the info screen in the car it actually shows up as a 2014, but considering it was replacing the original its a big improvement.!!

Double Locking
do you mean disable the function completely ? if so, there's nothing in my manual. maybe someone here knows different, or maybe a dealer could help ? the d/l is auto disabled when entering the car using the remote. (or the key in door lock) and reset likewise.
