  1. Gentleman John says "I work for a Subaru dealer in Lincolnshire UK." I would bet there are not many Subaru dealers in Lincolnshire. Pop on over and have a look about.
  2. listen to the Turbone he is da man when it comes to these Also I had a 87 GL-10 digidash do that, it turned out to be a bad ground for the dash components. The ground (get this) is under the pass side front intake manifold bolt.
  3. Good observation Nathan, you are correct. I have see this switch used for this purpose for years.
  4. one switch may be for the cruise control. the other the starter inhibitor Both switches go "closed" when the clutch pedal is depressed. As a test, take the connector off the switch and short the contacts with a paper clip (better yet a short piece of wire with the ends stripped. See if this allows the car to crank. If not you may have other issues starter contacts corroded bat cables/connections ig switch going south ect. Hope this helps.
  5. millions? well maybe hundreds of rubber bands. car was used to deliver some cheesy "Penny Saver" paper. Could have saved a few "pennies" if they didn't leave the "gum bands" get away. How they got under the automatic shifter console still has me scratchin' my bean
  6. I thank you and Rick very kindly for this post. It should be some how saved in the archives Thanks again. You, Rick, Emily and CCR rules!!
  7. Snow worries mate, you are still "da'man" I just have to say thanks to you for bringing pictures to our little world!! Just wish others would show the appreciation for your time and dedication.
  8. Shame on you Porcupine did you skip "Mind Reading 101" ---- or what??? Please see http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=85648&highlight=posts for an answer.
  9. Hey Gar, I hear you. I think we leave these two guys on their own. They don't seem to need/want our help. Good luck fellas.
  10. My pleasure Will, glad it helped. Thanks for saying thanks. That is what makes this board go around!
  11. You are most welcome John, all in all an exellent car. But it is what gave me "Subeitious" you are already infected so it's "snow worries mate" ;^)
  12. I am sure you have read that Legacy wheel bearing are now recco'd and a few have been replaced with the incorrect grease (shipping lube vs wheel bearing grease)
  13. I guess we guess the car again If it's an EJ25 powered car you will find the spark plugs a bit of a pain to change. You might want to opt for the good ones so they last longer. Good luck, most folks go for OEM or Magnacore wires on these EJ25s as they seem somewhat sensitive to sp.pl wires.
  14. Well done John!! Most excellent!! Reminds me of our very first Subaru!! Watch the rear wheel bearings.
  15. Okay Will sorry for the delay. Found the EJ22 pulley (1994 ed.) You were correct, much different. Here it is, hope this helps. Please note the dimension for the hole depth from the surface of the pulley. (shown on right side of pulley)
  16. RMVR, being this is an XT they do have problems with wiring under the carpet. Don't know why this would cause this but might be worth looking at seeings how it does happen. Here http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=85671 and here http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=67331&page=4&highlight=injector+trunk Good reading for XT owners at any rate ugly!! indeed
  17. Your keyless entry system should be the "Code alarm" system. The remote for it looks like this Here is a place to read up on it and how to program a remote (Ebay has them (remotes) most of the time) http://www.cars101.com/subaru/keyless.html#code%20alarm I also vote for rig wire or a wire tie holder. If it wasn't snowing buckets I go out and get a shot of my black box and how it's mounted.
  18. very well could be Will, went out for another foray still no good Here is a side by side but I'm showing the back here. This is the real deal. The pencil shown here is 0.285" (your 5/16") I'll keep looking.
  19. My method is also "shadetree" but has worked for many miles I used a electronic oil pressure gauge and sender in a similar "T" config.. This let me mount the gauge in the cockpit with no worries of fuel intrusion. The diaphragm in the sender is made for gas /oil mixes (i.e. diluted oil) and did not suffer degradation. P.S. if you have not yet removed the gauge from the regulator good luck, they are locktited in and are there to stay.
  20. Snow worries mate, only had to shovel a bit. Hope this helps, it is a pulley from an EJ25 I could only take the cold so long and could not locate the EJ22 model. I will venture back in hopes of finding it after me toe toes warm abit. The drill bits were a nice fit (both were 0.45") (stood nice and plumb) and let me get the dia of the hole centers. The depth of the pulley is to where the holes bottom out. I WILL find the other pulley. (why would anyone keep a pulley with the center bore bored 150 over?)
  21. Sure thing Will, I'll get right on it Please give me a minute or two it's 5 deg F, still sittin in my schivies suckin' a mug of joe and I have to go to the shed to find a pulley.
