    My first car was a Brumby. It got hammered as only a first car can. Bought with about 30 000km on board, sold with well over 200 000km. Never had to tow it or trailer it in all that time.

    I had water halfway up the bonnet to the windscreen more times than I care to remember. Never even missfired. 88 model with electronic ignition.

    EDIT: But I also did the same thing many times in my SWB Series 3 plus at night with the head lights shinning under water

    Had one of both. L wagon wouldn't die, only thing was CVs and fuel pump need a whack with a hammer once a year. Only thing that killed it was people kept running into it. Or it drove them so mad with it's reliability that they attacked it - happened twice.

    Second Subaru, more trouble than worth. Air bag suspension, Radiator, head, lucky it got stolen before we fixed the head. Decided not to buy that one back from the insurance company.

    Looking at a Forester in ACT, anyone know what goes wrong with them? Aside from CVs.

    Cheers

    My TD5 is a 99 model and had done 147,000 when the fuel pump tossed it in. It was a $600 repair.

    This seems to me to be the crux of the problem - not so much that bits that are not traditionally consumable items (fuel pump, wiring harness) are treated as such, but that they are so expensive, making owners very reluctant to replace them before they fail. The biggest problem with the TD5 is not reliability, or even the possibility of failure in remote areas with no possibility of local repair, but the cost of maintenance needed to minimise this.
