Evening, First time Subaru Owner from Adelaide.

Hey up.

Currently living near Adelaide (originally from England)

So current car is my first Subaru. It's an 99 RX 2.5, EJ251

The car does does need some TLC. Done the rocker cover gaskets, spark plug tube seals, changed oil and filter, new batter (though battery terminals are towards the grill rather than the fire wall), new brake rotors and pads. The fuel economy is a tad naff, so thinking its the fuel pump or filter or both.

Have worked on cars before, but first time working on a Subaru.

So any help (links to work manuals, parts sites in Australia, location of parts like fuel filter and stuff) would be awesome.

Hope to be helpful to others in the future.

As for your economy or drivability issues, just google the exact issue with eg ej251 keyword and join the multitudes of fellow sufferers :)
