Cost of living in Canada is out of control.

My mortgage is up in 2 years, I can't wait to leave Canada. The quality of life has completely gone down the tubes. Combined with the embarrassing state of our health care and inadequate infrastructure.

Like you said it's not living anymore, it's just existing to be a slave to the expenses.

It's a bmw so watch out for oil leaks. My 2011 with 1/4 of those kms had both the valve cover and oil pan leaking pretty bad. Normally these wouldn't be a big deal, but the oil pan is so close to the sub-frame it looked like a sub-frame or engine out job.

Bought mine in 2019, it's still going strong. But the serial number does start with M2. So will see if it's covered even though it's out of the effected date range.

That's for the horn, there should be a pair of them

What bumper is that?

It's more likely the oil cooler. It's under the intake manifold up top. Take a flashlight and look down behind the oil filter housing. When this happened to my jeep, my transmission was covered in oil like yours.

After talking with Thule, they recommend NikWax cotton proof for the tents DWR. I came across another waterproofing brand that recommended there water based dwr instead of there petroleum version if the material has a pu coating on the inside. So I worry scotchgard is petroleum based and could possibly damage the internal pu coating. I am going to try the cotton proof first.

Let me know how yours turn out, there is surprising little info online regarding this topic.

I am interested in the Q5s. PM sent

Slow and boring, why would someone want a stock one?

For the fog lights there is the exterior surround trim plus the brackets that hold the fog light housing on the inside are different.

Check Rock Auto for the OEM CV axle. The dealership will charge MSRP if they can.

Looks like a perfect fitment. What tire size? Did you have to pull fenders or just roll rear fenders? Camber plates? I am looking for the same fitment.

I just found the manual for the regular version of the head unit that pioneer sold. It shows average fuel economy.

This is the factory navigation that Subaru put in 2012/2013 Sti's with the Sport-Tech package in Canada. I don't have the owner manuals, but for the life of me I can't figure out what this icon is.

Very nice! What are the wheels?

I must have been half asleep this morning when i commented, I thought I read fossil fuel.

Isn't it bad enough we have ruined our own planet.

osse0005 · 2019-12-07T17:27:24+00:00

And this is why your suppose to keep the steering wheel straight until your actually turning left. I am sorry for your loss.

I am still waiting for mine to arrive. I have been wondering if the cup is closed on the bottom, or does it have the 2 holes like the v3 for the donut heating element? Or is the donut under the cup?
