  1. Evening all, Have recently brought a 2012 BM GT S Legacy, black, leather, full STi exhaust, 2.5 turbo and best of all 6 speed manual. Its a amazing car to drive, however the speedo, fuel consumption gauge and odometer has recently stopped working. Cruise control still works as normal. Wondering if anyone has had the same or similar experience and what may have caused the issue. Have checked to see any broken or loose cables, sensors etc but to no avail. The newer Subaru’s are a bit more fancy than the old STi parked beside it in the shed! Any suggestions greatly appreciated as the nearest Subaru dealer is somewhat of a drive away, we are located in Fiordland.
  2. Yip, they seem fine but Im no mechanic. Could this possible be a head gaasket gone? When I checked the coolant it seemed under a fair bit of pressure when I removed the cap.............
  3. No and no. That is what worries me, last time it did this Wingers ran the diagnosis equipment but couldnt find a fault anywhere, but its there for sure
  4. Well it seems as though the problem has started again. Driving to drop kids off at kindy started miss firing at any revs any gear, almost stalled when coming to a stop, around 200 rpm then will kick up to 900/100rpm at idle but missing like heck. Also started to get quite hot around 3/4 up temp gauge, normally runs around 1/2. Turned heater on to full temp etc and temp gauge dropped down to 1/2 again. Car was also giving wisps of smoke/steam when stopped. Parked up in shed now waiting to go to wingers on Tuesday, dosnt look good to me........
  5. Seems the rears had tapered rear springs so no go with the GF8 top hats, went down to Subaroo and swapped for a set of GF rears so all good now and everything fits as it should. Something to remember for next time, should have looked and known they wouldnt fit but I guess I was having one of "those" days. And I dont have saggy either.
  6. Well the fronts fit but rears are a no go, guess im back to trying to find some gf8 rears, sigh.
  7. So I have found a set of springs and struts out of a BC legacy, if im correct these will fit in my GF if i change over the top hats?
  8. So your saying bc to bg struts fit just got to change top hats? What about springs?
  9. Hi all just wondering will any legacy suspension fit into a gf8? Trying to track some down and seems to be an abundance of legacy struts and bugger all gf8 stuff. Any help appreciated
  10. Well I talked to the mechanic who looked at our car and he swore blue that there was no faults in the computer no issues with the laptop plugged in during their test drive no problem what so ever. Driving home from the shop car still surging, not as bad but still doing it, so pull the banjo bolt out this morning, pull all the fragments of f***ed filter out and what do you know......car is driving mint. So a couple hundy to the mechanics for a fault that they couldn\'t diagnose and half an hour of my time to fix it. Worth doing in my mind.
  11. So far the wagon has driven mint since the winger treatment but will have a look at the banjo bolt tomorrow and see what comes of that. Still has a wee bit of hesitation at low rpm on wot but once pulling 1800rpm plus she pulls like a schoolboy. That 22b is still looking good though....
  12. Well got the car back from winger hamilton today, turns out they can\'t find anything wrong with it. No faults, cel etc. they took it for a test run with the computer plugged in and amazingly the car didnt put a foot wrong. They seem to think it is an injector fault but dont want us to pay for new injectors ($1000+) until they know for sure so they just cleaned everything imaginable and stuck it all back together with fingers crossed. I think if it does it again its time to trade up to the 22b they have parked in their show room........
