The AUSubaru.com.au Forums

yeah its funny you mention the US thing because i've just sort of realised all the horror stories about the 2.5 SOHC i have read i'm pretty sure are from the US. is the ultimate subaru message board a US site as well? its down at the moment being repaired. one of the guys on ozliberty also told me t...

yeah no worries Keffa. I'm chasing the 2.0L mainly because of the 2.5L head gasket issues. My understanding is that subaru's solution to this problem in the Phase 2 ej25 (powering the gen 3s) was to add a special conditioner to the radiator fluid. Not very reassuring. i know some people have never h...

no worries- post a msg here after you email me so i know to expect an email

cheers

i'll be perfectly honest with you- i'm chasing a reliable car for the missus, not a toy for myself, so i'm looking for something in pretty original condition. i.e i will be paying a higher price for lower km and better condition, not for modifications, rims, DVD player etc etc. not saying i'm not in...

Howdy all, I am after the following in W.A: liberty GX- chasing the 2.0L, not the 2.5 2001 or 2002 (2000 or 99 at a pinch) auto (you guessed it- its for the missus) silver (large % of liberty are silver anyway so i will wait for a silver one) air bags, cruise, ABS FSH less than 140,000km preferably ...

ok-just found some more stuff- so the heritage is like the top luxury model yeah? and it has the 2.5L motor, as does the RX, but all the others have the 2.2L. which is considered the better engine? 2.5 or 2.2? what's the story with the head gaskets on the 2.5? anyone have real world fuel economy fig...

thanks for the info fellas she wants an auto sedan-so i guess i'm looking for a GX or RX gen 2? what is the heritage chris? can you give me more details- what engine, how many km etc. if i bought her an RS gen 1 i think she would get a bit suspicious the first time i launched it off the lights- i.e ...

yeah i've been doing some searching/reading since i posted this- the gen 2 runs from around 1994 to 1998 yeah? i figure that's around about the right age/price range. anything in particular to look out for when buying a gen 2? can anyone tell me if the automatic gen 2 libertys are 50/50 front/rear p...

Howdy Folks, I'm chasing a subaru liberty with a budget of around $10k in mind. Now, before you tell me which one is quickest........it's for the missus :p So, specifically, i am choosing a liberty because they are one of the few cars of this size that are not front wheel drive, plus they are meant ...
