HELP!!!!!! please!
Does any one know where the best place in england is to get an engine for my 2.0l sport subaru impreza? I was sold a scoobey with a dud engine, after driving it home which was about 4 miles, not even that, the head gasket blew on the drivers side, so its either get the head skimmed for £1700!!!! or get a new engine, i choose the latter.
So does anyone know any good websites, etc that will also offer warranty or guarentee on the engine?
Thanks
Gemma!

Hope you get it sorted Gemma I agree with the guys speak. I don't know Dave but it's best to speak to someone in the no. I was calling round for Re-map prices the other day and was getting quoted totally different to other people ( some garages will try and take women for a ride on the price of a simple problem )
I hope you get it sorted!

A head skim would certainly not cost £1700, that's more like the price for a complete engine rebuild - and then some.
I would expect a head repair to come in more like £700.
The 2.0 non-turbo's are not too highly stressed and if you do need a replacement engine (because your present one is totally cooked) then you should be able to get a decent used unit at well under £1000.
Bear in mind that you should try to discover the cause of your present engine's demise - head gasket failure is almost always due to overheating caused by loss of coolant. Checked for blocked/leaking radiator etc etc.

Under the Consumer Goods Act an item has to be sold fit for purpose unless otherwise stated. This counts for either trade or private sales, the test is to answer the question "what would a reasonable person expect?".
I would say 4 miles and its dead is not what a resonable person would expect.
Mind you, doing something about it is a different matter.
