Thanks, Subyroo!

That's gonna come in very handy (it is already).

Ok so Im back! Time to actually get into my MODs! Iv been training for the "kona otway odessey"! 100km with about 3000m vertical Mt Biking! It was great fun on the weekend and Id do it again, I was a little sore and stiff but fine otherwise. On ya mate! :-) Quick QU:- -What is the best way to join ...

You must've been right, Nachaluva! Bullbar was gone when I drove past a couple of days ago.

Harrumph! :-) In general I agree with discopotato03's doom-n-gloom view of the world. Unfortunately- or perhaps fortunately- marketing dictates an ANCAP 5-star safety rating and you can't achieve that without ESC . ANCAP: - Note on the ANCAP site the Outback is features as the 5-star example . - Not...

Eems, I read the iaeng paper/abstract, thanks. If the shudders are related to lots of regens, then oil dilution & its associated issues could be a problem. Even if not, the paper shows particulates increasing with increasing EGR. This would lead to more regens in any case, and therefore oil dilution...

I'd think Subaru already understands the problem and knows the solution, it'd be down to cost minimization at the moment. First they'll try to 'ECU flash' the problem away, and then they'll replace the hardware in the worst cases. I could be wrong because being in limp home mode evidently disables ...

I plan to block it off / physically disable the valve if the cars fuel economy is going to remain 15-22 percent lower and the shudder is eliminated. What'll you do if/when the DPF overfills due to no/ineffective regens? Shuddering just (re)started for me recently at 40,000kms. Seems to be a common ...

...when leaving it was an unmarked road with no traffic so instinctively turned on to the road and drove on the left side. First bend I came to there was an F100 that was on the 'wrong' side of the road and there was another car just behind him - it looked like he had just overtaken the other car. ...

Whilst in the USA: 1) Dumb: Once while driving a manual (a rarity over there) I went to change gear as normal and wound the window down. 2) Dumber: Another time I returned to the car after paying the cashier at the servo. I opened the door and sat in the car to drive off, only to find myself in the ...

I'm sure when you drop the pressure they'll be more giving & you wont feel the bumps so much. 5 or 6PSI makes a big difference. Dropped them (I think) from ~42psi to 36psi. A lot less wandery, less harsh on the ride. No major loss of economy. On road is good. I have to pay attention to hear (or per...

Canberra to Sydney and back this w/end, shudder struck on way up at 110km/h in 6th (~2100rpm): chunk-chunk-chunk. Speed 110km/h (GPS) on cruise, 6th gear, warm engine, A/C on, ~20-22C (indicated on OAT) and humid, ~41000kms on clock, flattish road. And the great thing was... THE WIFE WAS IN THE CAR ...

Dunno, they didn't say and I didn't ask. Their contact details from whitepages.com.au are:

Also the rego sticker was valid until 8/2011.

I couldn't handle having a barrier though as much as I'd love one! My seats spend 1/2 their lives down! Either my dog or my bike/bikes are in the back! Don't forget the Milford barrier has a second position for behind the front seats, ie back seats down...so if you don't need the back seats (no fam...

It's an ill wind that blows nobody any good...on the trip that trashed my left-rear tyre resulting in the purchase of 4 new ones (see Good Road(?) Tyres for Forester Diesel #2 ), I spied the following Brumby sitting in a yard by the side of the road. My flat tyre distracted me on the way back last t...

Thanks once again to all who replied. In the end I've decided to give the Yokohama Geolandar A/T-S a go due to the wealth of positive reviews both here and elsewhere for both sealed and unsealed surfaces. This was balanced against my desire to do more off-roading, more chip/cut/puncture resistance a...

I took it out & hooked up my multimeter. On the 20k ohm setting, it reads 1.78 at room temperature. After I've been warming it in my hand for a few minutes, it reads 1.52. So is that 17,800 ohms & 15,200 ohms? Does anyone know what the air temp sensor's resistance is meant to be? Also, how do I rea...

Hi Jerrad, can't help you with the real off-road stuff but what I can suggest: 1) Have a look at my thread on Driving lights (2010 diesel model) http://ausubaru.com/forum/showthread.php?t=20242 and I also posted in the latter half of "Lights, globes, driving lights etc." http://ausubaru.com.au/showt...

I heard the "Geo-Squealers" were discontinued...too much squealing? :rolleyes: Which ones are the "Geo-squealers"? The OEM fit Geolandar 900? Saw a neat turbo forester (pre-current one) yesterday (Fri) coming into Sydney with Geolandar 90xs (could properly see the last digit, might have been 906) c...

Well, it turns out that the puncture was a 'star puncture' from a penetrating stone (through the thread block in fact) and irreparable due to the carcase damage. Contributory factors can be speed (not on that section I must say, was faster earlier) or high pressure (40psi- but set by last service at...

I've repaired quad tyres with that type of plug repair. That is a good looking kit.
