Any help would be much appreciated

thanks

 

are there any cheap sites who would do discount if i was to buy all the above items at the same time?

 

This is the cheapest place I know and all genuine parts so you know you'll only pay once

This is the budget one that a lot of people get:-

SUBARU IMPREZA LEGACY 2.0 TURBO CAR RADIATOR NEW

2 year warranty.
Next day delivery if ordered early enough.

 

i have a 2003 sti so doenst look like that will fit mine.

 

Check out his other items - he might do one for the New Age too....

 

been looking all day and seems clutch kits and gasket kits are very expensive. when changing the head gasket can i just not use a new timing belt rather than but the whole kit?

 

You can if you are comfortable with the condition of the existing rollers and tensioner. It is a judgement call ATEOTD and if it goes wrong you'll be spending twice. You may be fine though.

 

what symptoms for the headgasket have you been getting,has it been tested?

 

they pressure tested it, its only one side but when doing it they may aswell do both sides.

 

Dont forget head studs + rocker gaskets, also dont just go for the cheapest it could end up costing you in the future, do it once....

cheers ant, the guy is a austin martin specialist but is a very good mechanic and his mate works for my local suabru gargage and hes helping, he said i need everything as i listed above. but will not fit anything but subaru parts as he states it will only cost me in the long run otherwise

 

Austin Martin eh?

Austin Rover merged wth Aston Martin... Should be some, er, interesting vehic... er, mogrels, come out of that marriage.

 

mate i have been drinking since one to watch utd so give me some margin for error with my spelling

 

lol

 

ok seems i may have this sorted.

rad - ebay £91 inc del
water pump - camskill £48 inc del
cambelt kit - ebay £85 inc del
headgaskets and inlet manifolds - subaru £180 inc del
thermostat - maccautoparts £14 inc del
oil & filter - Opie Oils £50
Anti Freeze - Opie Oils £20

Took about 3 days constant looking and ringing around but that is easily the cheapest i can find it, if anyone can get it cheaper then my hats of to you.

 

Water pump around £39 from GGR.

Otherwise seems fair enough. Well done lol

 

the water pump was £40 but £7.99 delivery mate
