I went for a more sensible drop on Eibachs, which a lot of others use.

Not sure what the code is but if it is Idle Air Control Valve, yes they are bloody expensive. IIRC around £250 from Subaru on a MY98. And you can't get them anywhere else either, so the only other choice is get one off a scrappy.

Exactly. For a lot of classics, that could be 5 or more % of the value of the whole car! Hence not many people invest in new idle valves, instead blaming every other sensor or device that they can when they've got a simple idling problem. I think last time I bought one (which DID sort out my idling problem after I was told by countless people on here it MUST be the MAF) it cost me about £50 from a breaker. Of course, as these idle valves get older, we'll reach a point where we're all going to start having to buy new from Subaru because they'll all be knackered!
