Everyone of my customers has cheaper insurance on their JDM'S due to them being 2.0l as opposed to 2.5l.

I am also based in Manchester and i know what you mean as it's very expensive for us here due to all the car jackings and thefts ,but impreza thefts seem to have died down now they tend to rob in style nowdays and go for S3's and RS4's etc.

You should get a quote from someone like Keith Michaels or A plan.

anyone know of a good dealer in the Sussex area that's not afraid to tackle a compression test!

Is the car still hesitating ? If so book the car in with them (to get a courtesy car) and demand that your not happy with the way the car is running, Its not your fault that the car is not running correctly, You shouldn't have to be driving your car around when its not 100%.
