I remember a young girl a couple of doors away getting one of these for her 17th birthday, I felt so sorry for her having to drive such an ugly bright green car, it's funny how opinions change after about 15yrs, I'd have one in a heartbeat now.

Fair enough, I joined the RAC WA top platinum membership a few months ago because I know zero about diesels and the Transit would not exactly be an easy tow, I'd say a similar service to yours.

I had a similar thing happen to my Liberty once while driving it through the dunes, the top hose mount broke off at the tank and I kept driving it for about 30min, hopefully your heads are ok, mine were shagged. I finally gave up on old plastic tanks and bought a new copper brass radiator, still goi...

My WRX was very scary to drive until we lengthened the lateral? arms by 25mm pushing the wheels back by about 20mm, it would just weave all over the road, got 2 for each side, cut them in half (staggered) leaving an extra 25mm on one half and boxing them in, difference was absolutely remarkable, tha...

Limited is usually " limited" to how many they can make. ;)

Try to get a viscous diff out of any WRX, makes a fairly big difference in the dirt but you'll need the correct matching axle set up.

It was all the craze on Perth WRX forum a couple of years ago, most people had success with it, readily available as I nearly bought a can in Carnarvon a few weeks ago but decided to wait till I'm back in Perth.

Water bottle is pretty standard for that age and I think you'll find the headrests have to be removed to lay the seats down, I know I did in the WRX and remember a Foz is just an Impreza with a different body.

What about those 2 pack metal fillers that can be drilled and filed, you punch the holes in your roof down then fill the indentation with the metal filler, hit it with a sander/grinder when it's dry then bog over it?

I was reading recently that ebay would rather private sellers used gumtree now, so pretty much new stuff on ebay and second hand on Gumtree as it still reaches Aus wide and it's much easier and cheaper, I recently advertised the double front seat out of my Transit van on Gumtree and the only call I ...

Yeah they were the best looking aftermarket tail lights I've ever seen, I've still got the plug and play Possum Link computer off of it somewhere, had antilag etc. Be careful buying Chinese and Taiwanese coilovers, they are utter crap and if you have any grunt the top of the strut can bend under the...

Bugger I just sold a set of Tein Flex that came off an 01 Bug Eye last Friday, they had about 1,000kl on them since a full $1,000 re-build and I got rid of them for $800, I'd been offering them to people for about 7yrs and nobody wanted them, worth about $3,000 to replace The guy that eventually bou...

If you have a little fraying run a cigarette lighter up and down the belt, I must have done it to 10 different cars to get them roadworthy and never caught out once.

Help needed to store my car in Perth

As above, I've been flat out getting my mothers house ready for sale as we had to put her in a home after a stroke and it's where I usually left my Liberty when I wasn't using it, I'm now living in the Transit van so I can travel ( I.E. not on the verge ) but also will need somewhere to park the van...

Damn, my high roof LWB Transit van uses less than 11 on the highway and probably only 10 around town and my Liberty uses less than 8L per 100kl averaging about 130kph on a country run. I'd say half your problem is the exhaust is too big for a stock 1.8 and not getting enough back pressure, I'd have ...
