Hi Mr. B Thank you so very much for your detailed reply - this information is really helpful and gives me a clear steer as to which way to go. I'd better get organised quickly before it gets any worse! Best Wishes Elaine

Hi All I was loving driving my newly acquired old Forester (immaculate, new MOT and service) until 2 weeks ago when it developed a horrible rear diff noise on tight turns - one month out of warranty . . . garage replaced the diff oil and put in an additive and said run for 2 weeks and see if improves. It hasn't. I'm guessing this will be very expensive to repair and am not sure whether I should take a risk on a second-hand part - assuming I could find one (and a mechanic friend is even saying get a whole new back axle!) or go for a new one. Or perhaps ignore it and hope for the best because funds are pretty limited after the car crash (not my fault) which wiped out the Jeep before I bought the Subaru as a replacement! Anyone have experience of this problem and if so, wondering what did you do to get it fixed successfully? Thanks in anticipation of your replies. Elaine
