Evening all! Hey thanks for all the insults and witty teasing, I've just gotten home after spending all day fixing the worlds cheapest Subaru and I have to say, I'm stuffed.
Andrew, you were right, the "Mobile Mechanic" wasn't a mechanics arsehole and when he replaced the timing belt he stuffed up the timing, so when I finally got everything to line up, (what a fcuking pain in the arse, my 'Wang is way easier to time with two belts, why couldn't Subaru do the same?) it roared into life, and I drove it the 50 miles home with no issues at all. I probably wasted $115 on a new crank angle position sensor, but what the heck, I installed anyway.
I'm way too tired to engage in witty banter right now, but I have taken umbrage to some of your responses so far, so prepare yourselves all for a mental flogging when I can see straight again. Have a great day/night men, I'm gonna go drop a steak in the pan, I haven't eaten since 7am, and right now, I could eat the crutch out of a low flying duck! Cheers, Terry.
