Welcome, glad to have you here, and also glad you've found some information useful to your search.
Lot's of great members with lot's of knowledge and advice, that's what makes this a great site.
If you haven't already checked out the Pacific Forum, please do, you might find something going on, or someone close by from reading some of the great threads in there.
You can also help us and yourself out by adding some vehicle info to your Signature. This way it will show up every time you post making model specific responses easier. Just use the pull-down menu in Quick Links, Edit Signature and add basic info like year/model/transmission and you're good to go.
We hope you'll enjoy the forum as much as you are enjoying your Forester, and participate here when you feel like it.:biggrin:
