Available in Australia?

Thanks for the reply, pretty comprehensive list. Problem I'm having is find them here in Australia. Everyone or shop I go to tells me they don't have them.

Rear Brake Shoes 1998 Outback???

Can anyone tell me where to get Rear Hand Brake Shoes for a 1998 Outback? Tried Bendix and Protex and no luck there from what I saw in their catalogues.
Any advice appreciated.

Installed the new MAF last night and car now runs like a new one. Makes me feel even better knowing the MAF, sourced in the USA, only cost me about $70 all up delivered to my door while the Subaru item was quoted by Subaru to be $800. Certainly seem like a bit more than a gentle nudge to trade up to...

Have tried cleaning the MAF with a CRC product that comes recommend for the job but no joy. Ordered a new one from the US today after Subaru quoted me $800 for one. If the one from the US works I might order at least 1 more to keep on the shelf.

Background: Car was driving as per normal when CEL came on about 2 min from home so kept driving. Other than the light being on nothing else was out of the norm. Pulled into the drive way and got out of car to open garage and before I could get back in the car died. I'm starting to suspect the fuel ...

Found the 2 black plugs. Connected them and turned the key to the ignition position. Not getting any long followed by short sequence of flashes, just a constantly flashing check engine light. Any ideas about what this means?

Dont have the gadget to get error codes but I'd be very interested to get a hold of one. Can you recommend a brand that's not too pricey? By the way where would you plug the thing in to do the testing?

Starts strongly but dies. MAF dead?

97 Outback, starts strongly but engine dies after about 3 to 4 seconds. Have checked all vacume related hoses and they all look to be in good condition and connected. Could this mean the MAF sensor has given up?

Jarvis Subaru Adelaide good/bad?

Hello subaru heads, Looks like my beloved 97 Outback needs to go in and have the head gaskets replaced. Thinking of getting done by a Subaru dealer workshop believing the premium I'm probably going to pay will be balanced out in the quality of the work. So my question is have any of you guys used Ja...
