We can't all be wizards. 😔

Yeah :)

Exactly! Live and learn.

Today I messed around changing motor for washer fluid. Ordered new tank. Washer fluid still wouldn't come out. After much frustration finally realised the problem. I wasn't pressing button on wiper lever.

Turns out I didn't even have an immobilizer!! :D Also found key after making two new ones 😂

£1400 for the year. Assume will go down next year unless I wrap car around tree. (Doubt it as I'm an excellent driver Dan@ Flux) Admiral quoted £15,000 for the year. Yes thats right, fifteen thousand.

Couldn't find em. Had new ones made. £90 for two sets :) Found out in process got no immobilizer.. Thought it came factory fitted..

Nevemind. Just realised in my panic I forgot one crucial element. I don't have original key or have tools to make new key and programme it 😂😂 Alright, I'll have to have locksmith do it. Cheers anyway guys :)

Lost actual key. Sigma alarm comes as option. Wasn't sure about it though as had read on another thread sigma wasn't on JDM's.

Two days in of owning new car and I've lost the only key good and proper. If I get key code and sigma alarm code buy fob and program it would this work? Got option of paying lad £70 labour plus parts otherwise. 2003 forester with central locking and immobilizer. Sorry if in wrong thread, feel free to move to appropriate area.

Wish I could help with this but not clued up. Good luck! Hope you can sort it.!

What I've done today. Lost the only keys last night for forester and failed to find them after 10 hours of looking today. Great start to my Subaru career 😏

Thanks everyone :)

Looks fine! Look forward to seeing what work is done to it. Enjoy :)

I tried haha. Didn't want to push it as they quoted about £3000 less per year than anyone else. Didn't want to lose out on such a "deal".

Can't complain though. Adrian flux without the 15% still got me best quote for 23 years no no claims plus jap import. So cheers Adrian Flux.

Bonjour buddy! Nice first subaru by the sounds of it! Any pictures? :)

Electric windows and wing mirrors are temperamental. Windows make horrid screeching noise when used and mirros, when pressing fancy button to make them retract inwards, decide they don't want to go all the way in or all the way back out and stop and jolt about. For Windows I'm thinking new motor? Is that easy enough to check? And ideas on how to sort out wing mirrors? Also 2003 Forester Cross Sports, before I start driving it about every day, does anyone have any tips on common problems I should check need resolving? It's at 60,000 miles :) Cheers!!

I've heard good things about Hayward & Scott :) Good luck buddy!

Hi :) Looks really clean. Standard?

Regular services indeed. Thank you :) Will have to shop around for subaru tuners if needs be. Scary thing trusting your baby with a stranger! I've been told if not begged to keep it as is but I have at least 300bhp in sight and I just can't let go of the dream. I won't go mad, maybe just a remap, induction, better injectors, front mounted intercooler, 3" de cat downpipe, new calipers ect, coilovers ect.. Bit of experience under the belt too if nothing else :) Thanks very much Matt

Nice car, Nice picture! Bet your Insta looks pretty good! Sadly don't gave Instagram so can't follow you but look forward to updates on here :)

Interested in how this went?! What seats did you buy in the end? Did they fit okay? Is your **** warm?

Ahh!! My 03 SG has lift up cubby hole and clock under it and I thought I was a f***ing genius for thinking about putting a double din/sat nav in there. Good to know everyone else already came up with that 😂

I think it's just the one and like Kershaw says in downpipe. What are you thinking for your exhaust set up?
