From a Subaru dealer and
excluding warranty or insurance claims
I'll start the bidding at
£3,567.85 yesterday
No complaints though.. excellent job
Let's hear some wallet crunching STI engine replacement costs which should top my meagre sum easily... and will make me feel alot better anyway
Cheers

.. want to borrow it to keep all that paperwork on your desk from flying away?
Riftzone
Yup... the report says "shorted HT lead (damaged by guy who was replacing plugs [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] ) caused unburnt fuel to build up in cylinder 2", then boom, melted the piston dragging the bits everywhere..
Just one of these things....and what a delight it is having to run in an 86,000 mile car
Hats off to Willie at Nobles, for doing a brilliant job. Feels like a brand new car

You and me in the same boat them mate.....
The difference is I'm having to run in a car with 86,000 miles on it that I've owned for a year and a half
.... kind of a weird experience if the truth be told

Yes it was my choice awesome engine though everything balanced lightened shot peened etc and it ran very smooth. The 9.5k was just the engine and direct bits and bobs and incuded a full F1 spec turbo rebuild . The engine should really have been displayed in my front room as it looked more like a work of art.
