    G'day from Victoria Australia

    They must have different pads on Euro spec cars - my fronts were almost down to the metal at 40000km.

    Hi from South Yorkshire

    I came to the Levorg from an Outback 3.0 too, and agree about fuel and VED. I have less of a performance deficit though. I got a Brink tow bar and fitted it myself, everything comes apart easily, and more important, goes back together easily too. Mine's a turbo, and has the auto dimming mirror...

    Engine choice

    Ohlins do a set for the 2015> WRX which fit the Levorg (not sure about spring rates though), and they are tuv certified.

    Blackvue dash cam dr900x-2ch

    Mine doesn't mess with the safety systems either - Eyesight is unaffected. Auto dipping headlamps is an unnecessary comfort feature which only works if the lights are on Auto, which I never use. I tried my Blackvue on the passenger side, and got a limited view of what's happening on the right...

    Blackvue dash cam dr900x-2ch

    I have a Blackvue on my car, mounted centrally behind the mirror. It does obscure the sensor for headlamp auto dimming, but that's a feature I've never used anyway. It doesn't interfere with the EyeSight in any way. Rear camera is centrally mounted at the top, my car only has the reversing...

    What's your Weekender or Project Car?

    Very nice. I used to have this classic Turbo 2000 wagon as my daily, with PPP, Prodrive Bilsteins, and Rays TE37s. Best handling car I've ever had.

    G'day from Victoria Australia

    It could be the vacuum pump making this noise.

    Spare wheel

    Yes, 80kph/50mph. Enough to get me to a tyre shop.

    Spare wheel

    I bought a space saver for mine - leaves room for a load of other stuff on top of it:

    Towing with a Levorg

    My trans oils were replaced as part of a full service, the total bill was £420. UK Levorg and Outback have the TR580, the TR690 has a higher torque rating.

    Towing with a Levorg

    I tow a small caravan and a car trailer with my 1.6, no issues at all. I've done 30k miles. The UK service schedule states all trans oils replace at 40k miles including CVT fluid, I had mine replaced as a precautionary measure at the last service last August at 25k miles. I have a Brink tow bar...

    Wheel sizes for spare

    I bought a space saver spare, it leaves enough room under the floor fo a whole load of other junk. Note that the PCD is 5x114.3.

    "Tappit Noise"?

    My UK 1.6 has one in front of the radiator. Are you sure you haven't already got one?

    Warranty Claims - what has gone wrong with your levorg?

    We don't get seat memory on Euro spec Levorg. Shame. I could really use it.

    Levorg manual transmission conversion

    Seeing as the Levorg has the same platform and front end as the 2015> WRX STI, a full driveline swap would be the best plan, at least here in the UK. Buy a pre-Eyesight Levorg 1.6, a wrecked WRX STI, and an XV. Put the 2.5 EJ and 6 speed box in the Vorg, put the 1.6 turbo and CVT in the XV. Job...

    TPMS in new wheels

    We don't get seat memory.

    TPMS in new wheels

    They have a warning light. It's been a legal requirement in Europe to have TPMS since 2012.

    TPMS in new wheels

    When I changed my wheels I just swapped the TPMS to the new ones. No problem at all.
