I'm getting mine done with a 45,000 service from an ex Subaru dealer near Preston Costing £339 inc vat and labour. They said the belt costs about £100 for genuine OEM one + fitting. Don't know if this is a good deal as it's the first service I've done on my WRX

I had a new belt fitted at Park Lane UK in Alton, Hants at 57k. Total service was about £250. WRX Sti MY98.
Brilliant outfit by the way.

Charlie H,
Suppose its Gibsons.
Yes the belt is £99 for the real subaru item,
Why dont you just take it to a ordinary garage ?any good mechanic can change a cambelt ,be it a fiesta 950 or impreza.
Got mine done for about £170 all in.

£150(inc. VAT)at Midland Impreza (Nuneaton) (024 76373555) for cambelt change. Nice blokes and good service, also lots of STI spares.

Scooby nutter, yes it's Gibsons. A few people on here recommended them and as I've got some friends in Preston I thought I'd go over for the night and get the car done next day. Standard service I'll get done locally but I've had a new cambelt fail on a previous car so I didn't want to take the chance with this one
