It's + VAT isn't it? That makes it £45.

The catch is that it doesn't say "Subaru" on it. The belt probably came out of the same factory as the Subaru branded one...

Not heard of one of these belts failing any more than a Subaru branded one, but I've not got a statistically significant sample to hand

Still a damn sight cheaper than a Subaru one. I was quoted £103+vat from my local dealer. Is that a rip off or what?

It is... My Subaru belt cost £50. However, I don't think the place I bought it from sells them now. (Or sells anything at all, really)
