Good Morning fellow Scooby lovers.
I am Baz and I’ve just joined your forum today.
i have already posted this but think it might be in the wrong forum so apologies
as meny people who join I am after a bit of advice.
i am the proud owner of a 1997 Impreza type R V5 in black with gold wheels.
i bought her in 2008 and I am the 1st uk owner after her being imported.
the only modifications she has is a upgraded exhaust, fuel pump and a dump valve.
she has Low miles as there have been periods of time where she has sat off the road unused.
a few months ago, while driving home in a motorway the engine started making a horrible grumbling noise, there was no hard shoulder so I sat at 60 and waited patently for the next exit.
as I got to the bottom of the next exit the inevitable happened, large pop, plume of smoke, loss of compression and the oil light came on,
after a a swift inspection under the bonnet a hole was found at the front of the engine with prints and rods and all sorts hanging out,
my dilema is do I sell her? And what do you guys think is a reasonable price,
or is there a good place you guys know to get the replacement engine??
thanks for reading guys, any advice is appreciated
Baz
