  1. I've had the same symptom on my wagon. Ended up being the inner CV joint on one of the front drive axles (I forget which side). Exactly as IdoSubaru described. My 2 bucks
  2. It sounds like a micro switch that may have slipped ever so slightly out of position..just enough to intermittently operate. I've been chasing a similar problem on one of my cars for years. I like the idea of the micro switch on the brake pedal as described above. Just my 2 bucks
  3. I have found that the brighter, or higher-performance bulbs have much shorter lifespans. The Long Life bulbs may be more robust, but aren't as bright as the high performance stuff. To extend the lifespan of the main headlight bulbs (I've been using Sylvania Silverstar for decades) on my 2008 Forester, I disabled the DRL feature. My thinking is mostly along the lines of reducing the number of on/ off cycles, as described above. Also. Avoid handling the bulbs with bare fingers..the minute amount of your body's oil and fluids in your fingerprints is not compatible with the super hot glass bulb. I prefer the 5 mil Harbor Freight Nitrile gloves for this job. Just my 2 bucks
  4. A flashing TPS light indicates a SYSTEM problem, not necessarily tire pressure. How old is your car? It is possible the TPS sensors in one (and eventually all) of your wheels has croaked or is weak. The batteries that operate them have a finite lifespan. Just my 2 bucks
  5. Yea, my sis's kid lives in Dago. It's always pretty nice weather there. A really good old time family Italian joint in Old Downtown. Highly recommended.
  6. 2008 forester X, 230,000: Aisin timing belt kit, alignment, rear drum brakes (they were original!).
  7. Please keep us posted on your progress and location. Who knows what folks may be along your way!
  8. If you're going to try that, please let the engine be warmed up before going to high RPM. Just my 2 bucks
  9. That's a nice lookin 'Vair, is it as clean as the DL?
  10. I believe that's Vinyl. Most upholstery shops should have a wide choice of colors and thicknesses. Just bring the old one with you to the upholsterer..there is associated hardware he needs to use.
