At 148000 it will have had the Head Gaskets done, but it would pay to confirm this.
Other than that just the usual used car checks.

Recommend you take it to an Auto Sparky, they should be happy to test it and tell you what it needs for no charge.
12.7 is low, reckon your alt is expiring.
Daza.

The 07 will have ACVS and MAF and Drive-by-wire, so you'll likely have to do as AMAuto suggested, Ring around some more dealers and see if you can find one who's done it.
You could just use the short block in the lib, but you'd need to buy a set of non ACVS heads.

Have a play with a Tyre size calculator , put in the standard size and some other size and look at the percentage difference in the speedo reading under the picture. Grab a junk mail flyer from a tyre shop and put in what ever is on sale. If a tyre doesn't list a profile eg (175/ 75 R13 v 185R13) th...

Who is going to the meeting on the 25 January i can't log in to the club forum to post there:mad: I just want to know if it is worth while going or not Jan Have you registered on there? I should put in an appearance but there has been too much chest beating and territory stamping going on for me to...

It is a personal preference, but the AWD box has never let me down on anything i'd call "moderate", It has stopped me a couple of times, but it was on seriously steep, loose hill climbs that everyone struggled on.
The big difference is in the on road manners, the AWD is so much nicer on road.

Having had a Brumby, and converted it to Ej20, i highly recommend it. The Ej22 does have more torque, but the 2.0 is enough. However, you say you want to tow with it, in that case I reckon the AWD box is more important than the engine upgrade. FWD Subaru's don't tow well, No FWD tows well. You don't...

It's very hit and miss over here,
Yarney's L wagon had about 20mm of tyre outside the guard for years and he never had any trouble, but the first trip i did with the Super trippers on the Brumby some pretty little police lady gave me a talking to about it!

I've never driven one... Actually i have, but not enough to get a feel for it, Dave M's Super Brumby. ...And an auto locker would be completely different in the rear of an old subaru anyhow... There are Detroits in older Subaru's and they are great, no question. But El_Freddo and I and others i'm s...

Thats the beauty of a detroit, they allow the back wheels to rotate at different speeds when cornering. I've never driven one, but the descriptions i hear suggest you have to drive to suit the Detroit, they talk about having to be off the power all the through the corner so it doesn't grab mid corn...

Pass on our best wishes when you see him Grant, and to Megan and family too.

OK, here's my 2c. My Subaru is my offroader, but it still has to be comfortable onroad, otherwise i'd offroad a CMV F15A Blitz! No one's yet come up with a way to increase suspension travel noticeably that's registrable in QLD, so we're going to lift wheels. None of the LSD types available are effec...

No,
Happened across that a while back.

Has anyone tried "shimming" a VLSD?
I fail to understand how an external shim can "preload" a sealed viscus assembly, but it'd be worth the minimal cost if it did.

I put early Liberty seats in my Impreza, bolted straight in.

All "Outback's" are Legacy Outbacks because they also have Outback Sport's which are Impreza's.
Daza.

One reason for the different methods is that some people just want to get the air out, while some are working on flushing the fluid as part of the bleed. I reckon changing the fluid only needs doing every couple of years though. Another is Single circuit v Twin circuit Axel split v Twin circuit Diag...

Yep.

Any news on these Brett?
