  1. Hi, I'm new here and looking for a good Subaru mechanic in Great Falls. I see you're from Missoula so I was hoping you might know of a good independant rather than the expensive dealer to fix an overheating problem. I think it's the thermostat but I see alot of posts about head gaskets on here. '99 Legacy GT, 2.5, 5spd, 160,000 mi.

    Thanks.

  2. howdy. well, i'm trying to help my sister replace the driver side mirror on her 07 Outback. However, i can only fine a replacement made by Kool Vue, but it says its for 2000-04 models. I can't seem to locate any made for Outbacks after the 04 model. Any ideas of places online i might be able to find the mirror for the 07, or are they the same as the earlier models? Thanks...
  3. my loyale's done this forever. don't think you have anything to worry about.
  4. i recently had a similar problem with my loyale. thought it was fuel related because it was hard to start and when moving from a stop, it would sputter then "catch" and would move along just fine. seemed to be fuel starved. WOT and climbing hills did fine. well, turned out to be my coil. intermittent-no spark issue.
  5. well, swapped in a new coil and coil wire, and problem(s) be gone.
  6. went through the process, and no codes.. temperature has no bearing on the condition.. just a condition thats progressed from a slight hesitation, to almost stalling from a stop, to now having difficulty starting w/o giving it gas...
  7. well, not really... so, my 92 Loyale has been acting up lately. It all started about 2 weeks ago when i would feel a slight hesitation while driving. then it progressed into where it would sputter and almost stall when starting from a complete stop. ex. car in 1st, let out clutch, give it gas, but nothing but a slight sputter..press clutch down, feather the gas pedal, and suddenly the engine roars to life. now, it is having a hard time even starting at all, unless i feather the gas pedal while turning the key. if i press the gas a few times while turning the key, it will start maybe 50% of the time. it won't start at all by just turning the key. pulled the plugs, all fine and have about 12,000 miles on them. wires have about 25,000 miles on them, as does the cap and rotor. fuel pump cycles on when i turn the key, so it's working. i'm leaning towards a failing coil as if i mess with the wire going from coil to rotor, i can get it to start, but again, need to give it gas to get it to start. also, this "sputtering, stalling, missing" condition only appears to be happening at low rpms(under 2000) or from a stop. haven't had it out on the highway to check out performance, but it seems to have enough power to climb hills around here without a problem. i don't know..anybody care to chime in?? thanks in advance folks...
  8. exactly. for that money, you should be able to find a legacy in good shape. that's way too much for a loyale, even with the "rocky mountain markup". i bought mine for 1200-ish 5 years ago with 145,000 or so on her.
  9. er...loyale's are fine rigs, just not with the auto tranny. oh, and they do in fact have the adjustable lumbar support (if that really matters).
  10. funny, i thought of a few of your trashwagons when i first viewed the ad.
  11. Found this ad today. Anybody need a "freak wagon" http://montana.craigslist.org/car/589347984.html
