Default Where is.....

... the best place to get parts needed for engine rebuild for 1999 scoob turbo uk model??

The car has done 59k miles and the rings have gone, my mate has been quoted a price from one of those engine places in exchange and mart but my opinion of them isnt very good.

i have the car at work and need to quote him but apart from subaru not sure where to get parts from.

I would stringly advise against going with a place frok E&M unless you/he has previous experience...... Watchdog did a feature just this week...!!!

You can get parts from Subaru, or places such as API, Graham Goode, or no doubt many others...... dare i say it, even motor factors may be able to source parts......??

Do yourself a favour
;
Call David at www.apiengines.com and he will simply sort you out with no fuss.
They repair about 5 engines a week, and have a sky-high reputation.
