1) Jack up font of car
2) disconnect top rad hose from rad and fill block from here slowly
3) reconnect hose and fill through top tank slowly while squeezing top and bottom rad hoses
4) run engine with cap off filling when needed
5) hold car at around 2-2.5k rpm full top tank all the way up and put cap on
6) keep running engine and top up over flow as bubbles will come out of here now that cap is on
Keep an eye on levels over next week or so.
Has worked for me hundreds of times and no funnel is needed ;D
B.I.N.G.O. No heaters/fans turned on required on Subarus

Well a bg5 has the self bleed from Rad end tank back to top tank . Most other stuff doesn\'t . Changes things a bit
Every Subaru is pretty much self bleeding, but you have to bleed as much as you can.
The overflow bottle isn\'t there to catch excess fluid in the cooling system, you should always have the overflow filled to the max line on the bottle (you\'re an idiot if it\'s empty). The way it works is when air is in the system it is relieved through the top hose in your expansion tank and towards the overflow bottle, this also creates a vaccum and fluid is then sucked from the overflow bottle back into the cooling system rather than air if it were empty.

Another good trick to do (although I didn\'t do it), is cut the bottom off a 1.5L coke bottle and have that sit upside down on the top water tank. It should just sit there nicely, with the neck inside the water tank.
Wouldn\'t advise this. I have tried it before and the plastic neck warps in the heat, it doesn\'t create that good of a seal, and try holding that thing when full of engine heated water.

Apart from the 97 on with bilsteins being only rsb/sedan or gtb/wagon
Just to throw that spanner in the works haha
This is a RSB, there is no GT on it

And I dont really want to spend over 160 a tyre if I was to give a figure
Tyres are one thing you don\'t want to cheap about. They are the only thing attached to the road, and play a huge role in your and passenger safety. Cheap tyres will not grip the road as well on corners, and also slide under emergency braking.

Have you tried replacing it?

Don\'t pay anyone to change your pads or rotors, it is one of the most basic services on your car.
If you do a bit of a youtube search I\'m sure you\'ll find a few how to guides.
Go to your local repco and buy a set of front and rear TRW vented rotors (I can\'t remember the exact size, but measure your current ones) and as you\'re not on a track or doing much heavy driving I\'d suggest a basic set of TRW pads too. Be sure to change your brake fluid while you\'re at it, use a dot4 fluid
