Phone one of the Subaru specialist up Scooby clinic, Api ect. See if they will send you a kit out, dont think its just a belt. Think do to just the cambelt on my classic, SC wanted £180 which i though was a very good price.

Your welcome to spend £200 on a belt, but I've not heard of quality problems with Dayco and Gates (don't they make OE belts anyway?) belts not lasting 50,000 mile schedules.

Your spot on there Butty, Gates DO make the belts for subaru..... Subaru just put it in one of their nice logo'd boxes & then charge you £130 for it.

The nice thing about the Gates belt of course is that it has the arrows and timing marks on it to make your life easyier when it comes to fitting it

PLUS VAT and delivery.

So I expect: £48.00 + 8.00 + VAT = £65.80 to you UK door.
