The repair items are not hugely expensive, I may even have a brand new cross member in stock, it's the labour which will be making the bulk of that bill, try one of the local (the nearest) Impreza specialist?

Thumbs down

Darren, sorry to hear that!

Try Showells of Lye (Near Quarry Bank/Stourbridge) a main dealer, give them the details of all the parts and see what they quote in total.

They charge a hell of a lot less than that OTHER dealership for services, and they're very friendly.

Powerstation in Cheltenham, maybe?

I asume u mean the front, the hardest part of doing the job your self i would say holding the engine up while you remove the cross member other that that you would need an air ratchet because the bolts will be tight, good luck
