Yeah mate, it's why I cut it to where it is, it's much safer where it is now than where it was. Earth was very soft at the base and would definitely fall in a stiff breeze. I directed it away from any where that would do damage or hurt someone at leastQuote:

Shopped around for insurance, and because we had another insurance policy, saved 30% - went from $950 to $600 - happy days.
I quit my job!!!
Not to worry, start a new one tomorrow. Only half hour away, rather than a 2 hours commute each way every day

Anyway I have no subaru experience so any heads up would be appreciated. Pros and especially cons.Quote:

Last Subaru I had was in 1976, could not kill it as a young hoon driver. They are from a heavy engineering background so I wasn't pushing back too much! They do come very well appointed with a pile of standard gear, much like a Honda for example. I have a couple of friends with them and have not heard a bad word, services even handed pricing, mine has 5 yr fixed price, but suspect a lot of makes do this as well. I don't really know much more than that. No idea on what to look for in a s/h unit apart from the normal. I doubt you would find many that have been flogged off road, more banged up from suburban damage.
The later units have this CVT transmission in them. Its an odd sort of feel, unsure of the mechanics of it, but totally step-less and responsive in the auto gearbox.
Thanks phil. I have a gut feel they are a niche maker, hence I'm slightly nervous. But that could also be a great thing. The standard manufacturers are really putting out very uninspiring and unimpressive offerings these days. I drive a lot of hire cars and therefore a lot of different makes and models. Cant remember last time i really enjoyed a ride. Cvt is really a bugbear of mine. I hate it. No feel, just like driving a rubber band powered car. My xtrail is a good car overall but i hate its guts mainly because of the cvt. The worst transmission ive ever had. Anyway, im rambling. A few reds down, but I'm looking forward to learning more about subarus and maybe even buying one!Quote:

Last resort was to join on old cables that had good plugs but were hacked off to less than 1m long.
14 hours and 176 solder joints later all servo motors run and know where they are and what they're doing. Im stoked about that
Just cleaning up outside and have this playing. The state of music.

Well done Chrisso, you’ll love it mate!
Just be sure to never restrict the Webasto’s flow at all, my current silly design (dodgey plumbing up top) finds that it cuts out after P3 setting. Much like a hairdryer they appear to need full unrestricted airflow and are tops then [emoji106][emoji106]

Yeah I've been careful to make sure it has as much flow for both combustion and the heated airflow.

So we finally have a builder for our extension. I cannot wait for this to start. I may have to start a build thread on my house just so I have progress pics.
congrats mate! let me know if you need any door and quotesQuote:

Then once this is all done the 70's bathroom we have will be gutted and re done to bring it into this century atleast.Quote:

Happy to help you redo your kitchen etc to if you're going down that path mate, you and me can knock it out easily.Quote:

Pretty much the kitchen, new ensuite, the lot will be done by the builder. I don't have time to do anything myself. Im gone each day for 12 hours, last thing I want to be doing is this stuff when I get home. But I am hoping to demo the old one out if the builder will allow me. I am busting to demo this out.Quote:
