Our 1993 Legacy has real slow window motors, and the sunroof is maybe a
little slow as well. The windows struggle to close, and the auto-stop on
the driver's one doesn't work. Does anybody else have this problem? Is
it the motors, or does something need to be lubricated, or what? ...

So my rear gate latch (01 outback) has been rusting over the years and
finally decide to quit working.  while i know i'd have no problem
replacing the assembly myself (suggestions for online store?), the
first trick is actually opening the gate!  can't find reference to a

I will soon be replacing the timing belt on my 1999 Forester. Does
anyone have any suggestions as to what else I should replace while

Any recommendations on a good mechanic to take a 2004 Subaru Outback
wagon to in northwest Boston MA suburbs (we live in Lexington, so
anything in a reasonable radius...).
Just the usual kind of maintenance and upkeep...

It's time for new tires on my 2000 Outback, and I'm debating what to
get. Right now I'm debating between either Goodyear Assurance TripleTred
and BF Goodrich Traction T/A-H tires. Any useful comments are welcome,
especially in areas regarding gas mileage, snow traction (I'm in

I see all reviews on pricegrabber for Roadmate 860T are positive.
Does anyone have any pet peeves about the unit? Buggy software still?
Do the toys for 700/760 (like dashboard mount) work with 860?
Thanks.

I'm looking for feedback from other XT (Outback or legacy) drivers. My
Outback XT has 27K miles on it. The original tires are just about done.
Because I use snow tires, these tires probably only have 23K on them.

Hey group,
The speedometer on my 93 Imprezza is not working properly. (It reads 80 -
100 mph at about 30mph).  However the odometer is clocking correctly.  Where

Can anyone tell me the model no. of the original equipment radio/CD fitted
in a 2.0R Legacy?
I've just ordered the car and the dealer wants a fortune for the CD changer
so I'm looking to buy the changer from an audio dealer instead.

All three 2.5L US Impreza engines (RS/OBS,WRX & STI) are interference
engines.
Right? Still a way to go before the timing belt but nice to know in
advance.

I think my oil pan is leaking at the drain plug.   I've replaced the
plug, but no luck, no matter how tight I get it, the oil leaks, at a
good clip.  Has anyone had this problem?  Is the only choice replacing
the pan?   And is that a pretty easy job, is it just unbolting the pan

"premium fuel is recommended but not required."

I'm thinking of buying a new Outback, and am leaning towards the XT,
but am a little hesitant because of concerns about the decreased fuel
