I have a set of '7' grade spark plugs you can borrow and then just get me a replacement set, I am down in Pontypridd at work at the moment.

Can't help you out with the fuel filter sorry.

what rubbish, The classic "it's an import" line again.

They only produce one oil filter, the same filter fits all impreza's

Plugs should of been off the shelf. got my last set from the local auto factors

Can't comment on the fuel filter, never needed to change one in the 7 years of owning an impreza!!! have you ever seen inside a fuel tank, it's cleaner than a very clean thing!!!! plus the in tank pump has a sock and **** all gets past that. But as said, any local factor or dealer should hold this very basic item

i know danny i had it thursday when i rang for a front oil seal for my gearbox
he said he would have to "email japan and ask if the part is the same before supplying"
so i said its ok it might be an import but the diff an box are from a 97 uk car so no need to waqit for an email.
he then didnt want to help because i couldnt give him a chassis number of the car it came out of so i kicked up a stink saying its a ty752 box and all the seals are the same and he didnt need a chassis number
and that i have worked in motor factors before working in the garage and he wasnt being helpfull 5 mins of hold music later itll be in monday £10 +vat :naughty:
