Need to rebore and replace ALL!

If in doubt contact DRT Motorsport in Grimsby who have recently rebuilt ours. Might just add a huge bill went with it.

I have this on my my98 wagon apparently it will go on forever with no fatal consequences according to my local Subaru dealer, just a bit of noise when cold, fine when hot, shouldn't worry.
