CAN ENYONE HELP............................

 

sounds like it's gone in to limp home mode. try connecting the plugs under the dash and count the flashes. long one is ten short one is one.

 

bttt.....

 

Do a diagnostic test on the ECU to see what error it had detected, then we'll have more of an idea what to suggest. Instructions here.
Hope it's nothing too serious

 

The short answer Kerry is no, we can't help you given this amount of information, any chance you can throw us a bit more of a bone?

As Scoobyboy (almost) told you, putting the ECU into read memory mode would be a really good way to clue you and us in to the cause of whatever's wrong. To do this, look under the steering column for a pair of black connectors. Connect them together and turn the ignition to the "on". The check engine light will pulse out the numbers of the errors it's stored. Long flashes are 10's, and short flashes are 1's, so a sequence of three long, two short, four long, five short (and repeating) means it's reporting errors 32 and 45 (and so-on).

 

cheers lads, going into hyeline in cardiff tomorrow for a full fault diagnosis check

 

Who? Don't you have a Subaru main dealer there to take it to?
