Feel free to call him on 07943 654 321 if you cant get through to him then leave a post. thanks for your time

 

Who did the service mate? Im not totally sure but if you having a strange noise after a service i recon the bottom end has gone, Is there a knocking noise?

Nice looking car

 

Hi yes their is a knocking noise,service was done by my mate him self.

 

I must say mate,bad luck



Good luck with sale

Yup thats the bottom end gone, It will either be the fact he didn't fill the filter with oil or didn't remove the sensor and turn the engine over,

Good luck with the sale buddy

 

Oops it caught fire? Bit the fire officer from middx didn't read that

 

A bit of badlcuk thier for my buddy as this was his first impreza, he is allso intrested in a part x with a sti cash towords you.

 

6.500 for a 03 wrx ???? that was a good price !!!! (for the seller)

 

£3200? He will be lucky to get £2,500 for that.

New engine is going to cost £1300 plus fitted.

Couldn't think of anything worse. Best of luck selling it for him.

 

yes thats reason why he's loosing over 3000 on the car. Buying the car for about 3000 plus engine which will cost about 1500. Thats 4500.. Cheap for a good car dont u think..

 

If thats the case put an engine in it yourself......A rebuilt engine including labour will cost more than 1500 fella, unless you buy an unknown secondhand unit but then you could be in the same problem you are now.

 

Why would i want to put an engine in?? Makes no sense. yes i understand Rebuilding is much more money, but u wer the one who is talking about a second hand engine not me.
