Haha,

Sounds like a good idea however I already have a Jag and a Valiant out the front.

Once the Subaru is gone the Jag goes out the back.

This is why I need the Subaru out of the back yard.

Jim..

No one want anything off it?

Hopefully I'll be getting it scrapped this coming Monday so a lot of good parts are going to be gone forever but I can't have it sitting in my backyard much longer.

Hi All, I have a Gen2 Liberty which is now taking up space in my backyard that I will want to scrap in the next week or two. What parts should I remove before scrapping the shell? In other words what is likely to break often on a Subaru & what should just be sent to scrap because "that part never br...

If you are still after one I have one off a 1995 2.2 Liberty. Removed it last Thursday after taking the car for it's very last drive.

OK we are off the subject but the subject has been covered and rectified. Yes it was a VE and after 3 slant engines in the first year I sorted it out by fitting a 265 Hemi. My Brothers first car was a VC Regal that always ran hot then ran on 5 cylinders. Pulled the head to replace the suspect burned...

My first car was like that. It was a 1968 Valiant wagon. Sometimes the keys would fall out while driving so I'd had to look around the floor of the car once I had got to where I was going so that I could find the keys and turn the car off. I never had a key to the tailgate so I could never lock it. ...

That's funny!!..... Why? because I did that exact same thing with the kids 1997 Hyundai Excel which is an auto. It also will not come out of park unless your foot is on the brake. But this Subaru is a manual so it has non of those "idiot proof" features. My ride on mower has more safety locks that s...

I fixed it somehow last night. I was able to jiggle the key back in quite easily to set the lock back into the locked position. All seems to work fine now. Turn the key on and it won't pull out of the lock which is as it should be. So I'm presuming that the lock is starting to wear (most likely), th...

Nope not locked at all I just can't unlock it.
I might try to file all of the "teeth" off a key to be able to slide it in and unlock it.

It can wait until the weekend as we don't need to use the car before then.

Hello All, I have a strange problem with my Gen2 Liberty. Last night my son was driving it and the key fell out of the ignition lock which obviously should not happen. The probem is that the key will not go back into the ignition barrel because the key retaining latch has obviously started to work a...

Yep in my experience with EFI ECU's very rarely if ever fail.

Tomorrow is the knock sensor and the oxy sensor replacement from the parts car.

It's an AWD auto and the parts car is a FWD manual so I can't swap the ECU between the two.

I think that I was a bit wrong when I said back to square 1. I believe that it's idling fine but wife says that the check engine light is on and off all the time and it feels like it's going to grind to a halt on hills. A quick recap. The car has been fitted with new platinum plugs, new leads, new f...

Back to square 1. The warmer day today has had the car exibiting the tendency to want to die again. Bugger!

Well it looks as if it's not 100% fixed.

It's running ok now but if she stops to fill with fuel (or any 5 minute stop) the check engine light comes on for a little while when you re start it so I will probably query the ECU again on the weekend but I'm betting that I need a new oxygen sensor.

Jim...

I can't really do that as mine are now tucked up well above the fuse box. If you go back through this thread and you will see a link to the instructions with pictures on about the third of fourth posting.

I installed the relays on Sunday morning and my Wife took the car for a drive into town (30km round trip) and she has driven it to work and back twice (each way is about 50Km) so it has done ~230km since with no apparent issues.

Fingers crossed I fixed it thanks for the advice.

Jim..

Ford put some vital relays under the coolant expansion chamber and when it got trouble, shared some vital stuff with the relays, they corroded or whatever then suddenly disabled ignition. I guess at least they were accessible. That's one of the relays that I had wear out. One does fuel pump and the...

Yep I went and bought a pair of Narva relays of the same type today and a bunch of crimp on spades. I have wired up the two relays and taped them together via their brackets so they have some gap to reduce the risk of electromagnetic interference with each other. I have marked on the wires what pins...
