yes, been there a couple of times in my suby's life. both times (on different engines) it was a siezed/exploded bearing on pulley that destroyed the belt. First was a toothed idler pulley, second was a tensioner pulley. the poxy belt cover fasteners give me the preverbial. the last time I had to do ...

Queensland is notorious for that.
Don't cut until you have Engineering approval, or you may blow the whole plan.
good luck.

the Barristas have a special jiggle (front to back)and wiggle (side to side) technique as you pour the milk/froth to blend it with the crema, and make all the funky designs.
practice makes perfect.

I've gone Naked DSL with Adam Internet in Adelaide. VOIP phone service using a standard phone plugged in through the modem. works fine and we still don't use the home phone much. The bonus is the $30 line rental I'm saving in line rental covers half of the internet cost, and now I've got ADSL2+. my ...

relatively harmless and very common. it would have to be question number one for all new starters here. can be resolved, but it may come back again anyway. replace you old oil for a start. It's always been recommended to me to use a 15W/40 rather than a 20W/50. can be a sign that your oil pressure i...

there's plenty of "cheap" upgrade kits around for spots and headlights (usually chinese made of course), but I won't vouch for their quality. many are not ADR compliant either. There are limits to whats acceptable so you don't fry the retinas off the poor sod driving the other way. if you want relia...

I'll see if I can remember how to post some pics of mine. let me know how much it is from Clark's. the stuff that ARB and others sell is madly expensive. 'Red Ranger' brand I think it was. $75 for a box with 5m in it. of course you need 2 of them to do the whole car....$150 is a bit rich. I got mine...

I'll give them a chance to settle into their roles, but they have to try not to just clone Jeremy and co. the "cheap arse car" isn't as spectacular as the UK version. The Proton is just too tight and screwed down. Where's the huge body roll, massive understeer etc. I'm impressed with the way the pro...

If you're lucky, you may get to see my employer's work ute there.....
You won't miss it

from what I think I know (please correct me if I'm wrong) we do not produce all the petrol we use, and import up to 1/4 of what we use annually. our prices are indexed to the Singapore market, as it is the hub for the Asia/Pacific region. Diesel is the worst affected by this, as Singapore imports al...

g'day mate, good to see another south aussie show up. the advice above is spot on. A couple of points to add to the mix. subies have always been tightly held by their owners, take your time and keep looking, the right one will come up. lift kits, King springs, kyb shocks, 14" white wheels ("sunnies"...

looks nice, I was very tempted to buy that one when it popped up. at least its found someone who'll appreciate it. Am I imagining things, or is it sitting lower than it used to? and those wheels.......... noice. on a useful note, what happened to the blue one that wound up in Vic. It got back ended ...

ditto. I spent a grand on bushes, shocks, ball joints etc, only for it to still ride like a bag of plop. although the kyb's are a fair bit more, I am regretting the super special price I got my Gabs for. Even at half the price of kyb's, its too much. My old rears were shot, but the new gabs were onl...

yes, have a look through Whirlpool. it is the best place I've found to compare options. mobile broadband is getting better, with increased quotas and reduced costs. as already said, check for excess usage charges. Many people have beeen severely burned by excess charges, as they're often charged at ...

are they released anywhere yet?

I'm suprised you broke the diff, and not the gearbox.
It seems to be the transfer gearing that will let go when running on rears only.
Welcome, search around and you will find answers to your every question. Just about everything that can be done to a Suby has been tried and discussed on here.

RSR, yeah, your right. Thought I might have come across a bit O.T.T. I have just gone dirty on Tectalloy. I have had several people advise against using it with Subys. I don't know how the alloy that subaru use in their blocks compare with others, I was just shocked at what I'd seen in mine. the wai...

Use coolant in the waic. hate to disagree, but I'll never use any Tectalloy again. corrosion chewed the guts out of my last suby engine (and it never had any other coolant in it) and most of my previous cars never looked pretty either in hind sight. I've been advised by the Suby guru's over here to ...

Patrol drivers rag on Cruiser drivers, and Land Rover drivers, and and and ........ they all hang it on each other, until something else comes along to stir them up. Hanging the preverbial on Subarus is just something the idiots can all bandy together on. you'd think they would move on to all the re...

have a look at Blackbox's web site. pretty sure the part numbers for Nolathane are all there.
