Here is our new twenty-year old lugger.
’00 SF 2.0i.
Solid, rust free, 140,000 miles, 5MT dual-range.
It needs a few of the usual bits fixing: axle boots, oil seals, new plugs etc. etc. but it runs fine and vacuum gauge reads a healthy motor.
I have a howling rear bearing and tired rear drums. Perhaps I can swap the broken Legacy’s rear hubs complete with disc brakes to save some money....
So we now have two Foresters; a fine team.
