I'll post this here so hopefully more will see.

I have just taken my '96 Sport to the subaru garage for a service. They have however given me a very large bill of what needs doing. I cant list them all here but various things seem to be leaking or need replacing, each at about £100 each?, i have no idea so cant dispute them.

The main problem i have is that after a journey the car needs a 30min rest period before restarting the engine else it wont start.
They have told me its a:
Crack sensor £88
Knock Sensor £77 (which im sure ive been told is merely a bolt on the top of the engine???

Advice asap would be appreciated!

Don't replace the sensors just clean them first.
You only need a 10 mm spanner and a cloth.
Takes about 10 mins max.
My MY99 used to take forever to start when it was warm.
I cleaned both sensors and I've never had a repeat of the fault since.
One is just behind the fan belt pully. The other is near the battery.
E mail me off line if you need any more info.
