I have a 1995 Suburu SVX which shows a current of ~1 A with the engine
switched off and nothing else on.  I tested this by putting an ammeter
right at the battery in series with the ground lead.  I realize the
computer and even the radio require a small amount of standby power, ...

As you may remember... my long litany of issues was not *quite* resolved - I
still had a problem with my power steering system: it whined like a loud,
shrill dentist's drill - but only when cold and only for a minute or so.

I have a 98 Legacy Brighton wagon, 2.2L, 5 speed that I've had for
about 4 years. After having the car for about a year, it blew the
15amp E/G IGN SRS Airbag fuse, causing the car to stall and not re-
start until it was replaced. Another year went by and it happened

...well, I just got a 96 Legacy Outback 2.5 automatic with 150,000 miles on
it. I have just discovered a tire the wrong size on the right front. I plan
on getting a set tommorrow. Are there any recommendations as to a good road
tire. Also I was told the spark plugs have not been ...

Some time ago I asked on this board for help with instrument panel
lights going out after a jump start.
My @#&* dealer would charge me $80 just for a diagnosis.
I was afraid I'd have to replace bulbs, which is a big deal involving

My daughter's 2001 Forester with 90K  miles had a 'Check engine' light come
on today. She took it to  Auto-zone who read the code and said it points to
a bad catalytic converter. She made an appointment with a mechanic (she's 90

This is happening on a new 08 Outback with about 1300 miles.  After
the car has been parked for a period of time at work, a store,
overnight, etc, After backing out of the parking spot and putting the

I just went thru a 30 minute ordeal with a mall security dweeb when I
triggered the alarm by using the key.
Rat Shack had the battery, so I bought two, one for the dead one in the

I don't know if this is real or just a really weird coincidence: I've
been driving for 30+ years and don't remember ever having a flat tire.
Three years ago I bought an STi and I've had a flat three times, each
about a year apart and always in the right rear tire. Two were in the

We have a 2006 Forester Sport with Auto Climate Control which doesn't
seem very "automatic". The temp overshoots far from the set point and
the AC compressor (at least the indicator light) seems to come on as
soon as the engine reaches running temp. Does anyone have any ...

I have a 2000 Legacy GT Limited with 100k miles.   It is an automatic
and shifts very hard between 1 and 2nd.  The AT Oil Temp light
occasionally comes on.   I took it to an excellent, experienced,

I'm sure you lads can help....
