I do now feel pretty stupid, I just wasn't sure why it would go away just as soon as it started. Seemed a bit strange to me.

Thanks for that. The quote I got was for $1900 fitted, and I did think this was a little on the rich side.

How's the ride with the Pedder's conversion? Ride height? What kind of guarantee did they give you?

Cheers

Air Suspension to Struts

Just wondering what a good price is for this conversion. I've been given a quote, but it seems pretty pricey. I'm not sure whether to ditch this guy, or let him have the car.

Any ideas would be great

I'm still not convinced. Maybe I'm a sceptic, but I just 'feel' that someting else is amok. The other day while I was driving, the height button started flashing, and wouldn't stop until I turned the ignition off. I assumed this was because something was buggering up, but when I got out of the car, ...

Ok. But I don't see how the car can maintain its pressure for weeks at a time, and then suddenly lose all pressure at a single instant. If a strut needed replacing, wouldn't it always lose pressure? Maybe even never get up to full pressure? I just don't see how it can happen so sporadically if it is...

It is all in working order, but sporadically, it will lose pressure and the front of the car will drop. There is the sound of air rushing out at my right-hand front wheel. Now I know you're al...

I've now adjusted the clutch cable to within the guidebook specs, but the hill hold is still sticky. Is the cable to adjust for this, the cable under the clutch cable? The cable I am thinking of is a plasticy looking cable that runs in the opposite orientation to the clutch cable. There is slack in ...

Thanks for the info. Just 2 remaining questions:

1: Will having an out of order crank angle sensor cause loss of performance,
2: And where do I find out about the rest of the codes

Adjusting Clutch and Hill Hold

I've had the clutch replaced on my 1993 GX Liberty Wagon and need the clutch tightened. Just wondering how to go about this (I've worked on many cars, but never a Subaru). Also, the "Hill Hold" device is not letting go until the clutch is fully engaged, which makes parallel parking a nightmare. Will...

No, second gear goes in fine. I can select 4th (as in put the selector in the position), but when I release the clutch, just get a slight whirring type sound.

Does this mean it could still be the mounts, or would second have gone too?

Thanks for the help

Can you help with buying a car

For an old Subaru liberty, does 270 000kms, with a Jap import engine replacement 10 000km ago seem fair, or a little long in the tooth?

Just wondering what else seems to go wrong with car that has done that many kms.
