So why don't you write down how you fixed your problem then? Then someone in the future who may have the same problem as you will do a search and find one possible way to fix it.

I have done this a number of times. Sometimes I post a problem and get help. Other times no-one knows the answer or my question slips off the end of the page and no-one looks at it. Then I usually end up fixing it myself and posting how I did it. But I never ended up swearing in giant capital letters LOL

No problem! Keep the questions coming. As I said, I've been in the same position as you and been tearing my hair out. I only just fixed an idle problem that I'd had for months and in the end I'd literally tried everything apart from replace the valve. So I replaced the valve with one I got from a scrappies for £25 and that sorted it. And I'm always skint - otherwise I'd buy new parts from Subaru and have my local garage fix things for me instead of doing it myself!
