Thanks @Swenani. I'll try that.


Carry enough money though. A xenon headlamp for a forester is 210K at Japan motors


Pole kwa hayo seppuku but i think there is a subaru parts offer sometimes soon maybe you could get one then?


By whom? Subaru Kenya? When, do you know?

Enda uweke riveting at any garage on the pluckable grill parts & subaru sign.The thugs will damage it all before they can pluck it off.Riveting=1k or less.

Mechanics in the house Hizo ni nini? and what is life expectancy ?
Some vehicles you drive until they're written off and you never get to hear of stuff like these

41k sounds pricey. I did mine at Subaru Kenya for 35k some months back. Na sio ya offer.

The timing system manages when the valves open and close to let air in or out. On most cars it lasts for 100,000km, after which time it must be replaced. Cars that use chains instead of belts mostly never need to have them replaced.

The danger if it is not replaced is that the belt can snap, causing engine seizure. That is very expensive to repair. Sometimes more expensive than buying a new engine.

PS: I am not a mech either.

It's true what @seppuku has said. I've a friend whose Mitsubishi IO cut the timing belt. He had to replace the whole engine! I need to examine mine before things snap!

Sounds like a pragmatic thing to do, especially after someone quoted KES 13,000 for a replacement yesterday. The alternative is to sell the damn car and buy an old Volvo from the 90's, then the street thieves won't ever have a chance with me. smile

@seppuku- the last time i handled a forester xenon headlamp it was 70k not 210k... ; halogen is 4ok.. watu waache uvumi!


Call them on this line and report back
Japan motors
Tel: +254-202355040
Mobile: 0722518908

Btw we have two types of forester headlamps ile iko na bulb moja na ya bulb mbili

with 40K you cannot even get a headlamp for a GG2 1500cc from Ambani(subatech-0722749381).You need between 45-50K and its halogen


These lines went unanswered and they never called back.
