Hi all,
My 03 wrx was firing on 3 cylinders and after the usual checks, spark, injectors a mechanic tells me it's a valve problem. He tells me the nearest Subaru garage want €300 for the head gasket kit but not included is the cost of the valve or valves. Labour around €700
I'm stuck in Sicily and desperate. Can anyone help so that I can puchase what I need from the UK, to possibly save some cash instead of buying here, to solve this problem. You guys are my only hope.

Thanks

ps. stiucking to weston-super-mare for my hols next time!

mm, not on my policy its not (i remember the wording on it cos i was recovered from the isle of mann lol), guess it depends what the terms and conditions are.

doubt very much that thay would recover you from southern italy regardless of what it says on the policy, and im not saying that to start an argument just had a bit of experience with them having driven into europe 100+ times in cars mostly over 8/10 yrs old

mates car got recovered from lemans when alternator packed up, sounds like it def is a policy thing.

On mine it specifies that the recovery shall not cost more than the car is worth.
Recovery from Sicily would run to thousands of £££.

Anyway, the headgasket set looks about right, as does the labour, what are they wanting for a valve?

By the time you've bought the bits here, shipped them over and the extra time, you're maybe going to be MORE out of pocket......
