Drop me a mail at david@wallis2000.co.uk and I'll ask around.
You after just an engine, or fitting as well??
Not under warranty then?

Help!
My mate has just called me to say that the conrod has come
through the engine on his T plate wagon. Does anyone know
someone who deals in Subaru engines at a price that isn't
going to involve selling a limb?
Any help is most appreciated as he's rather distraught right
now as the cars defunct.
Cheers,
Simon.

sorry to hear of engine failure, but does happen quite commonly to scoobs,there are a few engine [s/hand] who may help, proces vary tremendously but say start around £1700 and go up, moreso than down.
2 numbers for you:
01902 636286
01902 494889
I know they are midlands, but you may have to drive around a bit to find a good unit.

Try dave at dpcc@bigfoot.com He had a spare in the garage & also knows a good engine dealer.
Also try enquiries@drjmotors.co.uk
Make sure its the right engine & year, some vary & have diff turbos etc.
While its out good time to check clutch etc.
unless new engine is well guaranteed fit a new cambelt as a matter of course, I would fit one regardless of any guarantee, if it goes bang you still have the hassle & labour cost of changing it again

If you cant contact dave email me direct & I will give you his mobile number but I wont post it here

Just had a call from him. He's had a lengthy talk with the dealer who are damn surprised that this has happened to the car. They've been in contact with Subaru UK, who have also expressed concern.
What they want is for the car to be brought in and stripped to find the cause, with Subaru footing 30% to 80% of the bill, depending on the reason for the fault.

There is a big difference between 30% and 80%. If they want to take it apart then they can pay for it IMHO, or the majority of it.
Cant believe they are surprised though. It happens alot. What fuel has he been running it on, and what year is it. Does it have the Prodive Performance Pack on it?

He's been running 95RON, it's a (98)T plate Wagon.
There's two dealers he's been speaking with, one where he bought it from (sorry don't have the name just now) and Tileys of Bristol where it's been serviced for the past 40 odd thousand.

Subaru suck!
Their reply to the engine nightmare is that the car must have made some noise before it blew (which it didn't it just stopped dead), so you drove it while it was knackered. Here's a bill for £6000 in parts!
It's now off to Wincanton Motor Services as they're local and look to have a pretty good rep.

Take it up with someone higher than the dealer..
You cannot be expected to know what noises to listen for anyway..
I cannot understand how they can say that..
Take it up with IM?
