could be worn gears, could be clutch as El_Freddo noted.. I bought the car at 173k and it's now 230k (i think? or less) and have had nothing done to clutch or gearbox in that time. gearbox oil might have been replaced in a full service at some point, but not sure. I'd like to think i've been pretty ...

tough mower

aka El_Freddo (given there's a few bens)

for yesterday.. (oops)

i love that technical description timmo I'll go consult my Gregory's manual.

fuel goes stale over time (lawn mower places say 1 month)... also a possibility of building up evaporated fuel in the tank if you leave it outside forever..

i dunno personally though, as i said i had no worries with my fuel

what is the contraption on your wheel (pick the n00b)

subis are tough. Depends on the garaging conditions but if it's fairly quiet then you can just leave as is. obviously disconnect the battery.. but i didn't do anything (even forgot the battery) and just charged it up 10 months later, added about 300ml of oil and she kicked over 3rd time unharmed.

Hi all. I have very little mechanical knowledge myself so am unfortunately at the mercy of REPCO because I don't have a huge amount of spare time / money to learn either. Car went in 2 months ago with movement in the engine bay - suspected cracked front engine mounts. There sure was movement because...

last time that happened to me was on the highway attempting an overtake of an 80km/h oldie.. i overtook him alright.. backed my foot off at 120 but the car kept going till i foolishly put the clutch in at 140 (of course the revs went thru the roof) then switched the car off, braked, pulled over, let...

that's the sweetest looking MY i've seen in a long time.. though of course the lovely paint job helps a bit :P

hope you get it running again mate.

nah not from what i've seen of the photos.. spent a few totally lost hours yesterday on ebay and other random places, there's a beautiful white lib in qld that i really want but the missus doesn't like automatics. i tend to agree... shame though. my suby will just have to do the job for another good...

as matatak mentioned... you could try greyhound no idea if they'd take an engine though. grace or other large removal companies are also an option. they deal with all sorts of crap when they do a house removal (eg they transported two huge boxes of really messy engine parts for me without a question...

Thanks for the shots subi, looks like everyone had a great trip, even with a few mechanical bruises involved. Matatak - every time i look at your car I see my own, even though they're slightly different models :) looks great in the sand, good to see the unlifted suby did ok, though I'm sure the DR h...

BYB.. i spotted Steve from Rising Sun online on the forums the other day, so he's around.. just PM him.

if you need any php help, gimme a yell..

not sure if it'll help you in your situation, but you could measure up your current wheels and check the gaps you have, then run your new ones and current ones through this

good to hear about the recovery chris. you'll be throwin yourself around in the suby again i'm sure.

sorry dave.. monday's a work day hope your work trip goes well... more dough for more subies.

thanks for the trip shots tassie people, looks like you had a great time. good to see the impreza driver not afraid of a bit of sand.

sorry i've been a bit quiet lately chaps.. subi ended up back at the mechanics getting the rear engine mounts done. should have asked somebody on here if they had some.. new ones from east coast took 9 days to get here. she won't be drivable til tues or wed next week. hope a good day is had by all.....

how's the beast going andrew ?
