I have an 03 WRX which has very loud knocking noise coming from one side of the engine. Think the problem is big end related after a mechanic friend had a quick listen . Its got 72k on the clock and has never been modified. I made the mistake of not servicing it on a yearly basis due to the low number of miles i was running a year. So i know i will learn by mistake. (probably a very expensive one)
I dearly want to keep hold of the car as it was my first ever scooby and i have loved every minute i have driven it . i want to keep it as a summer weekend car. Im wondering if anyone has any similar experiance of an engine rebuild and how much it is likely to cost . I appreciate prices can vary greatly but im concious of not getting ripped off.
If anyone has any reputable contacts in the north west who they could recommend it would be much appreciated.
