Ok, thanks for the reply, so is it a definate that you have to recode these things after battery being out? im guessing its the same as unplugging the brant module really, needs to be reset?
Just dont wanna spend all day today hunting a gremelin that may not exist if its just a case of getting brant reset.
From your experience is this something you can get from subaru (for a fee im guessing) or do they make you tow it there?

Thanks
