The Don

The front A/F sensor "seems" to last about 7/8 years. A common failure. A cheap code reader is fine. Ideal for reading the odd code and resetting the ECU.

Your car is about the age when the front A/F sensor tends to fail (usually the heater circuit P0031/P0032). Doesn't show as anything specific but your MPG will probably suffer. Get the code read. You can buy a cheap code reader on the bay for about a tenner........ http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CAN-BUS-U480-OBD2-Car-Diagnostic-Fault-Code-Reader-Scanner-Tester-OBD-II-EOBD-uk-/171052208838?pt=UK_Diagnostic_Tools_Equipment&hash=item27d38192c6

A possibility is all I said............ http://www.subaruforester.org/vbulletin/f70/08-sti-struts-09-fxt-65674/ http://www.subaruforester.org/vbulletin/f70/wrx-suspension-swap-writeup-127829/index2.html http://www.subaruforester.org/vbulletin/f70/sti-suspension-issues-sh-foresters-121868/ http://www.subaruforester.org/vbulletin/f70/confused-about-rear-spacers-124104/#post1336839

Phil, Two possible problems you may encounter.......... A saggy butt and a possibility of the rear upper control arms hitting the chassis rails if car fully loaded going over bumps. Rear Subframe spacers available from the US. Changing the control arms for the "bent" STi/WRX version helps with clearance.

It's a plan

Come on Rach, need to plan the friday/saturday Is it going to be a case of see you there or is a meet before proposed??

These maybe of use........ http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FORD-PLASTIC-SCREW-GROMMET-INSERT-EXPANDING-NUT-/400517321453?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item5d40b152ed or these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PLASTIC-SCREW-GROMMET-INSERT-EXPANDING-NUT-7mm-X-7mm-KIT-CAR-BOAT-CARAVAN-/190863246757?pt=UK_DIY_Material_Nails_Fixing_MJ&hash=item2c705605a5 you may find some other options on their site...... http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Byronix-Automotive-Fasteners?_trksid=p2047675.l2563

Why not ask your "friend", you seem to be posting from the same IP address a lot since you "joined"........... I'm sure he can help as he has the same year car Against forum rules to have two logins.........

Party weekend then

Its in the exhaust manifold just before the up pipe. It's proper Subaru title is A/F sensor as it's a wideband lambda sensor. Part number 22641AA042 http://www.japanesecarimports.net/parts_info.asp?id=4822&cat=0&sub=0&sec=0&var=0&dc=&gen=&searchKey=22641AA042 Item 1

At the present time, nothing I can do and AFAIK Kim is away for the day.

It's not the mileage they've done, they look as if they are only making 50% contact with the disc. Once the wear pattern has commenced, difficult to get back to full contact.

Looks as if you didn't change the pads??? If not, won't be long before they look like the originals..........

Do both

1. Little Vodka Goblin & Joe 2. Goofy & Paulina (yes, no, maybe?) 3. Don (ticket purchased, hotel booked - all set for JapFest2 on Sunday ) 4. Scoobyjoff 5.

Myles, was good to meet you. Once bitten, people usually come back no matter how old

Was a great long weekend - thoroughly enjoyable and looking to next year. Well done the organisers and official photographer

Congrats both, - Gordon, you kept that quiet at the weekend

It's all covered in Scoobypedia on our very own website...........(for those that don't get out of the forum ) http://www.scoobypedia.co.uk/index.php/Scoobypedia/Scoobypedia

Not quite, but have left myself off the list in case I get delayed on the way up from Newcastle. If I miss the departure time, Dave & I have a plan, I may be lurking around a corner on route

Maybe worth taking your name off of the Fling thread.........................

Although you could have possibly chosen a different weekend and maybe got a couple more to attend

AFAIK you should be able to add Adblock Plus to your browser...............

Glad I included "as if they might be"
