G'day, looking to update the old laser and thinking of something along the lines of a Liberty sedan or Impreza hatch in the range of ?1994-2000. (up to ?$10000.00) for the Missus. Will be mainly a runaround car (no kids), but with the occasional trip to melb. (2 hrs away). Interested in pros and con...

G'day all. After number one son sold the L and ?upgraded to a 1992 liberty wagon (nice car and drives great) I am considering selling the missus laser and buying her a 1994 liberty AWD Heritage 2.2L sedan. Has books and subaru service history. Questions are, any inherent problems? economy to expect?...

G'day. Well the old L series has gone and number one son is proud owner of 92 Lib wagon and loves it! First cab of the rank was CD player (of course!), now maybe a set of wheels, and window tint. Its running standard 14" at moment. He wants a set of alloys, so what size and from what other subaru ca...

Air con in 1992 liberty seems to be intermittant? One minute cool then not. Could it be the extreme temps over last couple days or ?regas needed. Is it normal in extreme weather. Seemed to be working ok days before extreme temps. Any ideas. Thanks

Number one son has found 2000 model Forester Limited with high K's(270000) at very reasonable price $8000.00. Are the K's too high? The car has log books from Subaru dealer. Supposed to be excellent condition. We going to have a look tomorrow. Will she be good for another 200000K's. Will it suit him...

Thanks L Raiser and AP. He is 90% tarmac and no SERIOUS off road but loves his camping and fishing and would occasionally go bush to remote river for trout fishing or over to the beach. He needs something to get him to work and back comfortably in Melb and then up highway to home. Is there any great...

G'day, number one son has 1990 L series wagon that he has had for couple of years and is looking to update the vehicle for something a bit more modern (you know how they are!). He wants to spend round $5000 to $100000 for another wagon that he can use for mostly city driving but capable of handling ...

G'day all, Had drivers side rear wheel bearing replaced about 6 months ago on number one sons 1990 L series wagon. Have noticed that now outside of tyre has worn dramatically. Passenger side no such wear. Noticed also that drivers side rear wheel appears to be leaning outwards at top more than other...

Gday again, Thanks for all the replies. Changed themostat, Flushed radiator. refilled with new coolant then started and ran car. After few mins noticed small coolant leak from 6" long small diameter hose tucked away at base of carby.It appears thats where I was loosing coolant from.Pulled out hose t...

G'day, Does anyone have an idea as to why my 1990 L series is overheating. It overheats/boils in approx. 10 kms. There does not appear to be a leak from a hose or the radiator but the gauge goes up quickly and you can hear a loud "hissing" noise slowly building up? Many thanks Newsoob.

Thanks AlpineRaven, found the link and have had a reply. Ooroo! Newsoob.

G'day, tried to install set of narvas to sons L series but found problem with the ?earth and lights stay on when ignition is off. Found a link in an old forum but no wiring diagram or instructions to rectify this problem. Have wired up lights as per instructions (relay, switch etc) just need to know...

G'day, Have read lots of posts about lift kits, larger tyres and all types of mods. Great reading and a wealth of info. But need to start at bottom. I have stock L series 4x4 wagon. Can I fit 14" rims with 185/70 tyres without lift kit? will they scrub? Should I lift first? (probably only go 2"). Is...

G'day, Have 1990 L series 4x4 wagon that seems to have a very noisy ?reed valve (not sure if this is what its called). Seems to me like an exhaust noise but have been told that it is this valve. Can they be replaced/repaired?, is it common? Also if I was to replace the coil springs on this car what ...

Thanks Waggaclint. A good read. Newsoob

G'day, Just purchased a 1990 subaru L carby model wagon for the young bloke! Should be great for fishing and camping. Car is stock standard,one owner with service history and 220Ks. I have a couple of questions and would like any advice on things to lookout for or to improve performance without cost...
