Cheers

I'm a reasonably new member but a girl nonetheless! :) ... Have owned two '89 Brumbies in my time and about to be the proud new owner of a 2005 Forester. I'm just starting out in terms of learning the mechanics and workings of cars. At this stage it is just a hobby, but loving every minute of it. Wo...

All fixed thanks to T.Farm.Brumby and a mate who knows what he's doing. A new exhaust should do the trick to help some of the gutlessness/hesitance on acceleration though (or do I really just want a new exhaust? ;)) The windscreen wasn't too rusty when we took it out - we just need to bog up some of...

Welcome :) I've owned two Brumbies and can't complain about the off-road capabilities so far, but if you're after a passenger vehicle then I'd go with a Forester. Have taken a 2004 model off-road a few times, and through the wet and mud and she drove like a dream (and it was an auto!)... but would c...

UPDATE:

Looks like it might be an issue with the fuel pump after a mate had a look at it... waiting to see what condition it is in once he's finished tinkering with it. Hopefully that is all it is... it's looking promising.

Cheers for your help fellas

Awesome thanks guys, will endeavour to give these a go when I get a chance :) ...I also found out that she's not waterproof! Found out the hard way. Seems as though I have more rust than I thought - all throughout the windscreen region. Looks like I'll have some work to do there and then replace the...

We replaced the fuel filter under the tray a few weeks back, but are yet to source a new filter for the engine bay. Will let you know how I get on. Cheers for that

Got an update on the Brumby... The brother (T.Farm.Brumby) just put my new alternator in after some unwanted issues arose. I'm just wearing her in and coming across a few little issues as I go, so far nothing too drastic. Considering she sat in a shed for 3 years without running I'm pretty happy wit...

Thanks for the welcome guys :) Paul - thanks for the info, I will keep my eye out for sure. Also, it did come with the tailgate flashing but I just need to find some clips to attach it - which are apparently difficult to find? I haven't even thought about making my own lift kit... is it difficult/ti...

Hey, here she is I'm the proud new owner and "Tom's sis" (or apprentice as he calls me)

G'Day fellow Scoobie enthusiasts Just got my 1989 Subaru Brumby on the road after weeks of work with my brother - T.Farm.Brumby - to get it up to scratch for the RWC. The thread started by him is here: http://ausubaru.com.au/showthread.php?t=24627 She's looking good now, got the plates on it and hav...
