Well, I feel financially poorer, but spiritually richer!
There she is sat outside this very minute. 2.5k for it. nearly 109k on the clock, fully serviced by Subaru since registration (all those years ago) 12 months MOT and 4 new tyres. Interior in great condition, all the bellls and whistles, even the original Subaru stereo. And the letters 'BHP' in the registration...
Real baptism of fire for us, back from South Wales To Norwich in dark and rain and a nearly stationary M25. Nothing AWD and a decent turbo couldn't handle though. Got a real buzz surprising Beemer drivers.
Although there are a couple of chips in the windscreen, and the exhaust doesn't look in its first flush, she's in great nick! Clutch fine, regular cambelt replacements, lots oil and air filters changed. No rattles or groans inside, slight windnoise from both front windows at high speed, but with the radio cranked up...
Occasional slight tapping from the engine too, at lowish revs (in time with revs too), that comes and goes. Very quiet, makes it sound diesel-like at times? Anyone any clues? Didn't notice in the extensive test-drive we took, does this sound serious?
(I imagine someone reading this and thinking to themselves "uh-oh, that's gonna cost him"). She's going in on Monday for a complete health check at my local garage, here goes nothing...
So yes, I now have a real reason to post on this forum! Do Haynes do a manual for these legacies?
