Nothing so far, have just replaced the front pads and rear shoes, done an oil change and rocker cover gasket, plugs and air filter so just maintenance.
Also put a new passenger door on it as I found one in scrap yard for £20 in better condition.
Like my previous Subaru (Pocket Rocket) it has been great and don't know how I drove a Polo in between, it was horrible and just ate money.
Took it to Ireland 2 weeks after buying it, drove 200 miles at over 90mph and apart from increased fuel consumption it has been fine. Also coped incredibly well in the snow.
Only thing I have noticed that it is slightly slower than my 1989 3 door but it is probably slightly heavier. However have managed to get 45mpg out of it on a motorway run!!!
I have a 1990 Subaru Justy 4WD, has 25000 actual miles, owners left it in the garage, looks like new, the guy who bought it thought there was something wrong with transmission so he had it pulled and put one in out of a wrecked one. It didn't work so I bought it.
My uncle who is a retired mechanic put the original back in, the torque convertor and brushes are good. Engine runs perfectly, but when you put it in gear nothing happens. You can unplug the wire that goes from the electronics to the transmission, then crank the car and plug the wires back in, the car engages to go but then you're stuck with no way to stop it.
Can anyone out there give me some info to fix this. The local dealers don't want to, they just want to replace the transmission module to the tune of over $6000. Any help appreciated.
