Thats great!! Also, What series is mine, or generation i think it is.. I need a owners manual also, as it didn't come with one, do you know where I could find one? Does anyone have any idea what the 'manual' switch is near the handbrake, just below the centre console? :)

Its Generation 1, Series 2. Owners manual can be found at the wreckers, normally they're all the same, only facelift has been changed, but not much. Manual switch I think its a automatic transmission lock to lock in specific gear - good for slippery conditions ie. heavy water or snow. (guys correct me wrong or right)

Asked the same question when I first joined haha, Alpine is right, just a better description on it below.

showthread.php?t=7172&highlight=Orange+button

Car looks swish! Back shocks are pretty shagged eh haha.
I saw a Celica the other day with those mags, just had a thought in the back of my head, how'd they'd look on my lib wagon, and what do ya know!

I'm not real fussed on the mags. They came 'free' cos I didn't know it had mags, so all good for me! The shocks are good, a mechanic checked them for me, just the whole trailer thing is worrying, but it's all been explained for me, it'll do for now.. :)

Fuel Sender

The kings springs are really just an upgrade you could do later down the track but until you get them... We don't know how low it is, so a pic may help.
My shocks/springs are shagged, but it still tows well...?
I've got a pic in members ride, if you'd like to compare.

If you have time on your hands, you may try cleaning your fuel senders, didn't work for me :( haha.

showthread.php?t=8004
My wifes last liberty had one sender unit which only worked intermittently, and the other one was fine, so I just bypassed the dodgy one.
The fuel guage worked reliably, but only in the top half of the range eg full was full, when guage read half full, tank was empty and 3/4 guage was half full tank (it's OK so long as you know!!). A bit dodgy, but better than $$$$'s for new senders.

Cheers, John R

Tee Gee,
It's normally the left hand sender in the fuel tank that plays up, i bought one from Skippy at All Things Subaru recently for $20, i think he does fitting too.
