Default So thats the 3rd Subaru sold.
Its been emotional but its gone and doubt I'll be back in one again. Thanks for all the banter on here and the folks I have met. Have replaced it with the following which is a little more practical for my work, hobbies and family as its got 6 seats. Collect it a week on Thursday, will have my plate on it eventually, if you see me aorund giz a wave

Work at Vw commercials my self.

Sportline t28's or t30's are a fair whack new.

Cracking vans though, Just keep a eye on the injector's and DPF's and it be as new at 150,000

I second that.

I don't see owning a Subaru as a condition to being welcome on this site.

Keep on trucking.

Been a while since I have been on scoobynet so thought I would post a quick update. Been tinkering with the van last 12 months, needed it insulated and trimmed as I sleep in it 3 days a week whilst working away, so sorted it and stuck an exploria bed system in which pulls out when rear seats are folded









full headlining done too with LED lights ran from leisure battery and split charger under passenger seat base







and additional 12 v outlet

Diesel night heater getting installed in next week or so, this vans a keeper for me. Its also been mapped by Pendle so runs great. Perfect for my surfing and Mountain biking. Not a Subaru, but hey ho.

Looking good Steve

Any chance you still have that 1 piece spec c rear seat?

If so you fancy parting with it?

Steve
