I'm going to service the impreza on the weekend. After getting some good advice off here about how picky the tensioner is when you compress it, I have decided to get a new one. I was wondering if anyone has any info on the best type and the best place to get them. So far I have found:

Motor Factor (Ina Bearings) £61 + VAT
Subaru OE 152 + VAT
Graham Goode (looks like NTN one) £63 +VAT

I have read articles from the states about NTN ones failing, the owner did say that the replacement he got was OK.

I decided on Gates belts all round as well. Thanks, Rich.

subaru because if it fails within 3 yrs and takes your engine out subaru will cover the cost of everything unlike the mickey mouse warranties the others offer
