HELP!! ENGINE NEEDED
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#1 (permalink)
Does any one know where the best place in england is to get an engine for my 2.0l sport subaru impreza? I was sold a scoobey with a dud engine, after driving it home which was about 4 miles, not even that, the head gasket blew on the drivers side, so its either get the head skimmed for £1700!!!! or get a new engine, i choose the latter.
So does anyone know any good websites, etc that will also offer warranty or guarentee on the engine?
Thanks
Gemma!

try here:
Welcome Page
they are cheap and have a good reputation.
also as you have just recently bought the car, there is no such thing as sold as seen any longer on a car, as obviously you cannot see inside the engine.
contact your local trading standards agency for more information, but it is the sellers responsibility.

As he ^^^^ suggested.
I got my "Low Mileage 97-98 Impreza Sport" (plus wiring loom, ECU etc) from Grade A Subaru.
Pleased as punch with them.
Your head may not need skimming. My HG went (not terminal) and I checked, luckily no distortion. Bores still had plenty of honing marks in them (yup, low mileage)

Agreed the quote is bad, although my local Scooby dealer quoted me IRO £800 to do it
I changed my gaskets in situ (in the back of a VW Camper) and the labour was around 6-7 hrs, but it was the first time I have ever done it.
