My goal is to be able to carry things I must have as I moved from one
place to another for contract work (minimum 6 mos which might get
extended or not) by myself in a trailer and a rooftop rack. I need
help in  accesorising my 2005 legacy wagon to carry the followings:

Well, the #1 cylinder head thread stripped . I tried the Auto Zone insert
but it wouldn't bite - I guess the hole is still too small. Local wisdom
suggests removing the head to rethread to avoid chips and potential damage
to zero clearance piston. Any comments ?  Oh, yeah, its a ...

Hi, I'm looking for a good Subaru repair shop. Alameda,
Oakland East Bay area would be ideal, but San Fran
would be OK also.
My WRX recently rolled over 100,000 and out of the

looking at a 94 legacy GT to buy, and noticed a gurgling noise behind
the central dashboard when accelerating (even lightly). the car has
apparently been sitting unused for at least a month or two, and i know
that a/c seals can perish an leak A/C gas out. the A/C seems to work

How do I get to the seat belt bolts for the rear passenger (side, not
center) belt in a 2001 Outback? It looks like I have to remove several
parts before I can remove the part that the three point belt goes into
behind the seat.  Any idea what torque is required to put it back on?

Hey all,
  So, the dealership couldn't figure it out, other message boards
couldn't.  Can you???
I have a 2007 2.5i Outback 5sp.  Whenever I have the A/C on the

1997 subaru outback with 142000 miles...head gasket blew about 200
miles ago, fixed by the dealer. about 4 days ago i filled up and my
gas gauge started dropping pretty quickly. i've ruled out a leak (had
one last year) because i haven't smelled any gas after i park or seen

I have a 01 Forester and the CEL has been coming on (P0420 - "Catalyst
system inefficient for Bank 1").  I posted earlier to this group and it
was suggested that it was the front o2 sensor. I'm finally getting
around to addressing it.  I had a friend use his OBD computer and read ...

And it happened to me today. The windshield on my 03 WRX cracked while it
was siting in the driveway. Seems to have started on the top of the drivers
side from under the metal strip on top down about 6" then across about 6".
No signs of impact... I still have 10k left on my warrenty ...

My friend has a 97 Subaru Outback Legacy that when you turn on the key
after the beeps the radiator fans come on first low then high and stop
and the you hear the injector start it stops after about 15sec and
then this cycle repeats itself.  This is without starting the key is

My wife returned from a week in Europe today - she flew to England then
on to Spain and back to Newark, NJ from Spain.
When she tried to start her '07 Outback wagon nothing happened. The dash
didn't light up at all. Folks at the parking garage hooked up a jump box

Starting yesterday, I noticed that my OBW's rear wiper was going really
slow. Starting today, it just got stuck in the middle of the rear
windshield. I had to get home and put the wiper back down by hand. Could
this be a lubrication issue on the wiper motor?

Ok, I put a 1993 wiper motor lubed up and ready to launch a chipmunk a
hundred yards as thay shake the car and work very fast.
I go to shut it off and they do not park, they only go near to the bottom of
windshield. I have adjusted, taken things apart twice..

03 WRX, 51,000 miles. Anyone have an issue with the a/c compressor buzzing ?
Doesnt matter if i have the a/c engaged or not.. Is it about to seize up ?

Hatch...? I can't think of a better name for the tailgate/rear door of the
stationwagon...
Lately, I've noticed water dripping when the door is opened.  It's coming
from the tail lights and dripping into the passenger compartment.. but only
