Regarding the button near gear selector. What ever you do don't press it four times in quick succession or hold it down for three seconds. It will put your gearbox into service mode & will need to be reset by subaru dealer........ Only joking....The button releases the lock on the gearbox sort of a garage mode. Try it, no key in ignition.press & hold it & you should be able to select any gear position. As mentioned before a band expander will open up more radio stations. Also J imports have a 112mph top speed limiter. You can get an hks (SLD) speed limit defender to remove this. This is what they are but obviously you need a forester specific one after you have tested it still is limited. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/301569266607
Any idea what the other switch on the transmission does? One side says 'Eco'? Is it like a sports mode?
Try driving with the eco button on, if it's not illuminated on the dash when driving your driving ok Drive with a heavy right foot if it's lit up your driving like you stole it.

I think its quite cool, you get the Subaru effect without the Impreza chav undertones (though a lot of chavs seem to have left the Scoobies behind these days) I imagine the Forester could be a right laugh in snow as well...

I love the selection of cars you've had over the last couple of years. My favourite by a long way was the P100. The Forrester looks nice but for me comes in third place behind the W140 Merc. I find the styling a bit disjointed and, er, lumpy! Mind you, a friend has a 55 plate WRX 300 and I find that a bit odd looking too.
Wish I'd had the space/money to buy the P100 off you when you sold it. A refreshing change from the almost DIY kit form Cosworth conversions. I'll bet in ten years time that will be the one you regret getting rid of the most!!

You sir are so far the only person alive that has liked my eclectic tastes lol.
I don't really get attached to cars (Although I was gutted the Merc had to go) - My life is spent earning enough money to scratch my next itch. I have many wants in the motoring world - god only knows what is next!
Ref the P100 - Not sure I will as for me, the fun was in the build if you can understand that.

Good Choice! Mine's an earlier SF5 - also a 2.0 T. Previous owner put some nice anthracite impreza alloys on mine and I'd like to put some tein coileys on it at some point to get it down to normal-ish wagon height. They're a bit thirsty though aren't they? mine How I'd like it to be — 'Angry Toaster'

Yeah - really need to get my cambelt done as I don't actually have a record of last time it was done. (playing with borrowed time!) Also needs something doing to front susp. as NSF makes a bit of crump noise on bumps. Then there's the clutch (smelly - on the way out).... It never ends... Other to-do's - respray front wings (Clear is UV damaged and blistering) Red calipers Seat valet / source some leather Better radio (mine's a cr4ppy pov-spec Sony Halfords special) Yakima Roofrack spoiler Bit of Tint ECU Remap

I'm hoping to upgrade my high to a Kenwood double din DAB in a couple of weeks. The speakers in mine sound fantastic but the discs keep jamming so I will replace it.

You can also remove the subframe spacers I believe. Works as sort of a body drop.

Ok, now I shall have to admit - I've sold myself to the devil.... I've bought a private plate!
In my defence, I have no idea why I was on the DVLA website and even less idea why I looked for what I now own...
All I did was send a picture to my Wife and she said immediately 'Get it bought, before someone else does' so I did.
I shall now await my well deserved abuse lol...
Plate in question
How sad am i..
