I'm stationed in Iceland and I bought a used 2000 Forester when I got here last August. The front pads and rotors need replacing. Parts are really expensive in the Icelandic part stores. I was wondering if the brake parts were the same in a U.S. 2.5L Forester as they are in a European spec 2.0L Forester? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for the help. It looks like the problem was with the wires. Pat

I live in Iceland and needless to say the weater here is a little blustery at times. All winter long my 2000 forester has been running like a champ through cold, snowy, frozen, windy days. Since the weather has become milder, and if it has been damp or raining over night, I found in the mornings I had some hesitation and spluttering on acceleration, which went away once the car had warmed up and been running for a while. However, today my problem has become severe, the car won't start. last night was wet and windy. I shall wait until things dry a little before trying again. Does anyone have an idea as to what might be the root of my problem?
