You could fit an a/c unit but it would be expensive with hard to find smaller parts and a lot of effort. I had to go and get a long wait once when I was an apprentice... I never found it oddly enough...

Oh man Subaru Impreza oil filter!! which is burried in the exhaust manifold with about 10mm space around the outside to grab hold of it with any tools.... xD

Many places will vacuum test the system for free, if it doesn’t hold a vacuum and the refrigerant has escaped you can diy the condenser quite easily and just pay to have it charged with refrigerant. That said be sure not to release that gas into the atmosphere it’s not good Sent from my iPad...

All I need to do now is find some, then buy them, then fit them~!

That's useful information, so there is an oem K11 leather interior.

Hey all, The interior in the k11 has seen better days and now there is a piece of metal of the back poking out and cuts me everytime I go to put on my seat belt. As some of you may know, when something breaks and the wife complains about too you have poetic license to go all out for extra...

Diagnostic tests are extremely accurate if you get someone who knows what they are doing, as others have said live data is a super valuable tool.

Many don’t, many do. See it frequently in our garage. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I didn’t mean to imply a collision with another car but more like lurching over a kerb or grinding into one at speed (15 or so mph is enough to do some damage and bend things). 9 times out of 10 it’s just down to normal wear and tear. If it has been in an accident look for different shades of...

Fluid in the reservoir gets lower as the caliper piston is forced further out as the brake pad material is worn away and as the disc gets thinner... unlikely to get so low it causes a light to come on in most cars Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Take it off and check the gear teeth for play on the starter and check the flywheel teeth for damage if you’re that worried, leaving in a chewed starter can also destroy a flywheel so take that into consideration...

CRV is a nice solid car!

They can last if they are not abused as Immy said, just make sure the one you buy isn’t high, has a good clutch pedal and again as immy said check the service history for drivetrain servicing. That said, changing the gearbox oil won’t affect the life of your clutch so much. If it is a hydraulic...

Both really, friction disc doesn’t put up with abuse of any sort and the bearings wear out and squeal after a few years of being fitted in some cases. I have quite a few k12s on the books and all of the petrol models suffer with high biting points noisy bearings and one day they just start...

Unless it's so rusty it's about to fall in half don't worry about it at all. The important thing is that the bushings and ball joint are solid.

Hi Stuart... Would need some specifics to give you an answer on that one... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Loving this build man Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Watch out for rust under the offside headlight and clutch issues... k12s of the 08 onward seemed to suffer a lot Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

The pin bush in the lower arm is not a costly or difficult repair. It may indicate collision damage in an extreme case if it’s just one side but is more commonly due to a lot of city and roundabout driving... it wouldn’t put me off although the newer k13 do have issues with munching through...

My money would be on arb bushes if it really does sound central because they are both located quite close together on top of the subframe.... not too bad for access unless you have fat hands like me Go mad with a pry bar on everything at every angle and see what happens... Sent from my iPad...
