A set of four 17" alloys. I believe these came off a Legacy but I had them on my XV as a winter set. They need a refurb but are straight and true. Will also fit a Forester or Impreza. Based in the Scottish Borders but travel to Edinburgh most days for work. £60.

Subaru XV spare wheel for sale . 17" alloy that came off a 2015 model. Got corrosion on the diamond cut part but was only used as a spare. Looking for £50 and located in the Scottish Borders and work in Edinburgh. Thanks.

That's interesting as I was considering replacing my 2015 diesel XV but was put off by the mpg figures quoted. Are they any good for towing? Thanks. Norrie.

Ok so it's stopped working altogether now. Phoned Subaru for a price and it's £400. 😮 I mean wtf? Subaru are now taking the **** with there prices.

Ok so it looks as though my rear subframe bushes are away on my XV. I am thinking of fitting the Whiteline poly bushes. Has anyone done this job and how did you do it? im wondering if it can be done with the subframe in place rather than dropping the whole rear end of the car. Thanks. Norrie.

Ok so my horn has stopped working on my 2015 XV. It sometimes works if the steering wheel is in the a certain place. Having Had a look on Google etc it looks as though it’s the clock spring that has gone. Has anyone else had any issues with the horn? Thanks. Norrie.

I had my clutch done last year including replacing the flywheel and it was £850 but that was me sourcing all the parts and the labour is cheap in the Scottish Borders. Subaru wanted £2000. As for the rust most cars do rust a lot underneath and you are getting having a coating applied to stop it.

OK so had the clutch and flywheel done and it was £845 in total including the labour which I didn't think was too bad. You have to shop around for the parts though as there are huge price differences.

OK so got the clutch done and had the flywheel replaced at the same time. It was £845 in total which I didn't think was too bad. Had to laugh though as was told to get LUK as they're good quality but the LUK flywheel I bought had a Sachs flywheel In the box. The original was Sachs though so all good as that lasted 100k.

My 2015 often blows white smoke when it's doing its self clean which I believe is normal. You can go to a place that can clean it.

OK so the clutch on my XV has just started to slip. What sort of cost are you talking for replacement? Also is it worth doing the flywheel at the same time? Thanks.

OK so my clutch has started to slip and looking at replacing it. Has anyone had one done lately and if so how much was it? Also is it best to replace the flywheel at the same time? Thanks.

Now fitted the genuine Subaru bearings and everything is good. 👍

That's a difficult question to answer. We had a transit that had simaler problems. We ended up having the guts of the dpf removed and remapped the ecm. I would imagine the reason for fuel in the oil is when the car trys to regen it injects extra fuel into the cylinders and I think sometimes the fuel bypasses the rings and dilutes the oil.
