Even if you press the valve and there is gas pressure released, doesn't tell you anything. Need a pressure gauge to indicate.

Rich, more often than not, it will be a small leak somewhere. Just have to look for it and fix it, then gas it up. We see this every other week.

Turns out it was just the o-rings as suggested by Pimpreza, on the money there mate. New rings, re-gas and running like new.

Also had the timing belt done, all fluids, major service, all done in about 5 hours. Pretty impressive stuff.

Such a noticeable difference when driving it now.

Platinum Auto in Jandakot.

Rob and Nigel, they are awesome, specialise in Subaru but can do pretty much anything. Rally cars everywhere yesterday.
