Hi there, my 95 liberty wagon has just it 424,000kms, it already had 385,000 when i purchased it, starting to have some teething problems now though, the suspension is about buggered, clunks and pops and squeaks, from what i can gather it is burning oil, the seals are gone, the valve and piston issue /rings, and i have had ongoing issues with the 'clutch shudder' even after replaced three times, faulty indicator staulk, and just recently the 'check engine light' has started coming on ((( Rarely but it loses compression every now and again going uphills to the point where it just sounds like its running on one cylinder then it stalls and dies, i restart and its fine. Overall happy with the car, except for lack of security features and the excess fuel consumption really lets it down...

Hi fellow Subaru owners….just looking to some friendly advice. New to the Subi, had Holdens Fords, Mazdas, Nissan in the past. Know and done some work on my own cars, not overly familiar with the boxster motor etc.. Bought a 2nd hand older model 95 LX AWD wagon when I relocated Tas 3 months ago. Cut a long story short I have trouble, and am not sure if its worth outlaying more cash to find a problem. Intermittent probs 1. Fuel gauge is inaccurate, uses a fuel tank in less than 220kms, but when I fill it up only takes 33-35 litres? Am guessing the fuel sender unit is buggered? Previous owner says the fuel pump has been replaced. 2. It also has a bad smell of fresh fuel from inside the car but intermittently. Replaced the fuel filter, oil filter, oil etc 3. Then replaced CV and Steering rack boot covers,and bushes inside rack and wheel alignment as it was bump steering and pulling me off the road over bumps on road Blinkers shorting out sometimes, don’t work or click fast (intermittently (mild problem)) Then the last 3 weeks, won’t go into 3rd, whirring noise, replaced with brand new clutch $$$$$, and an oxygen sensor.. BUT NOW . it shudders when taking foot off clutch, severely, car dies right back to zero revs on clutch pedal in almost to stalling point, and then swerves back up to 1000, Then now the CHECK ENGINE light comes on, and car surges like it is missing fuel then getting too much… noisy, now rough so Im faced with two dilemmas I have also been aware that after replacing the clutch that it wasnt' the problem, it’s the ‘syncro’s in the gearbox’…arhhh!!! Is also due for rego again soon, and four new tyres… so am not sure.. how much money I can outlay at the moment, currently tightbudget (studying) It has done quite a few thousand K’s btu I have been told these are great cars if you keep up the maintenance, its very tidy inside. Fear of buying an even worse lemon, I like the car and was hoping to keep it!! Any insights? uch appreciated... Sonia
