Car has only done 24k so should be ok then. Car runs a bit off now and again but guessing it's because I use fuel from bp and sainsburies. Pitty subarus engine ecu takes so long to adjust to fuel, by the time it works one out, I have put other fuel in it lol

Might be an idea to check the plug gaps and a skim of copperslip when putting them back at this mileage.
