My Forester could do with a chunky service. Anyone know a good shop near Bath?

I have just bought a 2024 Outback Touring and am very pleased with it. However, there is one issue that I dont seem able to resolve despite reading the owners manual and google searching. The powered tailgate opens with either the fob, latch or button inside the car. But when it reaches full height, it double beeps and comes straight back down again. I am ready for this now and hold it up, it then gives a long beep and stays up. Whilst it does not do this every time, it does do it 50%

Nice Forester XTEn 2.5 turbo from 2007. Auto box. 92k miles. £3,500 I've enjoyed this for nearly six years. Includes new head gaskets in 2024: Cosworth gaskets + skimmed heads + Subaru timing belt + new plugs. Has driven beautifully for the past two years. However, engine light now on showing P2007 fault on the left bank TGV. It's a difficult to get to part and beyond my pay grade. I'd prefer to sell to someone who's interested in fixing the fault and continue enjoying the car (or sell on 🤣). Ho

Hello all, I've discovered a problem with my 2006 Outback. Since changing the spark plugs due to it misfiring on acceleration, I've now found that even with the new plugs, it seems to be worse than it was before. However, it doesn't seem to be a misfire now, but instead it seems like the engine is running rich as it tries to accelerate. It also has a very uneven tickover that sounds like it's trying to stop altogether, then it surges for a few seconds before repeating the cycle. All this starte

Hello again, I just phoned a Subaru main dealership about a new set of ignition leads for my 2006 Outback and was told that they're no longer available. What?? So I asked the bloke what equivalent leads could I use. He told me that he's not allowed BY LAW to tell me of any equivalent leads !!!???!!! Rather incredulously I asked him what law was this, as I've never heard of such nonsense. He said it's been around for a while. So I then told him I think that's an excuse rather than a valid reaso

We're trying to build an up to date database of existing dealerships and specialists around the UK. Have a look through this forum section to see if anything hits the spot and if you do find somewhere then please share back to the club https://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/forum/22-subaru-servicing-mot-dealers/

Many thanks Mikey, thats massively helpful, I think I will try setting just before being fully open to see what effect that has. Lots of folk seem to have had the same issue, if this does not fix it hopefully the dealers will have seen it before

Hi Nick, firstly welcome to the forums, sounds like a frustrating issue. This could be down to the 12v battery, one other thing you could try (if you haven't already seen after your internet searching) is holding the boot close button for a couple of seconds as the boot is rising. This seems to have worked for someone on this thread here: https://www.subaruoutback.org/posts/6578653/
