Thanks Pezimm, The tyres seem new - and the dealer claimed that at least the front ones were brand new (with some km from various test drives), and I have a feeling that the rear ones have done less than 10k...

3.0R EX30R Engine & Fuel RON

Hi Folks, I am new to the 3.0R (2 days now) - and am trying to work out what the best fuel to run it with is... According to my reading to date, the 3.0R produces several kw and Nm more when running 98RON, and may do better with 100RON. There seem to be very variable opinions as to the benefits (or ...

Hmm that cannot be right - when I was in rovers (young adult scouts), a couple of the guys had Subaru AWD wagons.... and that was in 84/85....
