Hey all, 
 
	I'm new to the forum and I am in need of some help and guidance. 
 
	My mechanic has told me that the engine to my 2010 Forester is dead and gone due to the crankshaft shell bearings going kapoot!
 
	I have been told I have two options, which are:
 
	Rebuild or Replace
 
	However, the cost of buying a new engine is looking like a £2,500 price tag plus labour. 
 
	Any input on the matter would be greatly appreciated as I don't know too much about these things. 
 
	Thanks again - David.
