recyce bin at least ? They have more than five bucks worth of info even though they are sort of just an owners handbook. Do you no longer have the 1985 model in your signature ? ahh...sorry, No I don't have the Sig Subie any more. Gave it away to a man who was in need but this got left behind and I...

Who wants a 1985 Subaru L Series 1800 Owner's Manual. 'Australia' Supplement. Service Book. Vinyl folder.

five bucks to cover costs would be nice.

(Not the big 'Gregory's ' thing but the factory glovebox one) as attachments.

going in the bin otherwise.

When setting up your listing there is a function where you enter the size and weight of the item and then choose 'auto postage calc according to buyers location'. It does it for you and gets the postage right. If you want to add some $ for packaging there's a box to add how much. As mentioned above ...

The thing is these cars are so old now and all been treated differently each car is different. So when one person says their Hitachi is rubbish, that's unique to their car but my Hitachi (rebuilt recently) was running like a swiss watch so the Weber is only a slight improvement. .... Thanks for mak...

A daunting task I hope I won't need to do.

Good one. I bookmarked it.

Did you just go standard everything or did you get any "Carburettor Options" ?

.......and how hard is installation please ?

(Also I don't like to see 'Redline' anywhere near anything. Is there another source ?)

Took an approx guestimate with my L wagon when I got it a few years ago at about Odo. 400, 000km.
No A/C or P/S, carb. , 5spd, 13" wheels, highway use.
I seem to have the figure of 8L/100km in my head.

nobody riding to your rescue here ? Let me be straight with you. What you have here is a reality gap. Maybe you are young and excited. Here's a few thoughts from me anyway. - With little money or mech skill you're going to have to get more of one or the other if you want work done.(or have generous ...

was worried myself the other day when I saw Redline on the conversion bits.

Had some Redline dress (bling) bits and the bolts were like plastic. very bendy and not worthwhile for anything.

As mentioned , you are refering to the preheat pipe. The link is for the heater that warms the inside of the car. Not what you need. Big thanks to the investigation questions above cos I would have said "yeah, it's a heater hose". The preheat makes little difference and is not needed where you live....

Also it's very telling that the bowser has on it "not for use in any aircraft".

Paint stripper and Lanolin based lube ?

in short "not good for Subies" then ?

That was my own conclusion after I used it just once. Then I went back to 95 or higher.

I'd like a light weight 4wd ute , full size tray that 's NOT half a truck.

I try to use the mid grade 95. It will run on anything tho.

It won't fix the oil leaks tho.

Looks like I've got 25W/60 in mine but that's cos it's supposed to be for 'high KM engines'. In fact it did stop the little smoke I was getting at cold start. It is in the wrong direction for the lifters tho as Steptoe says. I don't think the exact grade is going to be critical. Regular service woul...

200, 000 Ks from 1990 isn't that much really so it's not the raw Ks that are causing the problem. Mine has 435,000. What condition is the rest of the car in to give an idea of it's useage history ? How much $$ do you want to invest here ? If it goes alright but leaks oil then it's a gasket/seals iss...
