Re: What have you done to your SVX (or other Subaru) today?
After 2yrs of sitting (mostly my fault) I got the trans in and am installing a new t-belt kit, waterpump, plugs and a coil pack. Its pretty dirty from sitting out, so I'm also cleaning it up. Will need a few more parts to get it road worthy, I'll be posting in the Wanted Forum.

Re: What have you done to your SVX (or other Subaru) today?
I figured I'd do some easy work this weekend. I have a couple of dash button bulbs that weren't lighting. I was able to replace the surface-height ones, but the sunk-in ones are a pain in the arse to remove. Anyone have a good tip on how to do this?

check and change the ATF, remove the campaign filter, bypass the factory ATF cooler in the radiator with an aftermarket one.

Re: What have you done to your SVX (or other Subaru) today?
Today, I ordered 2 new front sway bar end links, purchased second hand drive shafts (100,000kms) and hood struts from a local who bought a half cut for a VW SVX Van.
 (UPDATE: hood struts are no better than my originals )I also installed new Porsche Purolater oil filter and replaced oil (all by myself)  This week comes the install of the end links and front drive shafts and D bushings. Hope to finally cure front end noise. Still have to get A/C serviced (it is REALLY hot in Australia now) and find some rear struts or inserts before next roadworthy or it will FAIL!  Looking forward to a silent ride. Oh, Happy Birthday to me....

Re: What have you done to your SVX (or other Subaru) today?
Replaced yet another headlight on the Tribeca. Had to remove the battery to do it. What a PITA!
Pulled the inside panel of the door off and used Quicksteel to repair (I hope) the broken weld inside the door. Thanks to whoever it was that suggested it.

Just picked up the car from the shop, and after about 4500 miles on bad rear wheel bearings..... New bearings feel Soooooo good
. It's so quite and smooth again plus, I can turn down the volume of the radio to a decent level
