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 ...

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...

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 ...

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 ...
