I've got the genuine subaru gaskets would I be able to use the 5699 sealant as well to just to make sure it is sealed correctly as its current leak is driving me mad!!! Also would you recommend using a torque wrench on the bolts as I've heard it is 3.7lbs or just use a normal ratchet until they are snug thanks in advanced

do you know which sealant I could use from halfords there's 4 different kinds but I was wondering which one would be better either Loctite 5990 Premium Silicone Copper Gasket Maker/Sealant or Loctite 5699 Premium Silicone Grey Gasket Maker/Sealant or could you guys recommend any sealant I could buy that's not from online

It may of done I mainly saw it from the back and side just popped my head out of the door at work and it was there thought I could here a rumble through the wall ha

I never thought orange on a subura would be nice till I saw it the other week it is so nice

Orange and black Impreza Parked in Leeds Train station car park this morning....was it you?

Who owns a bright orange Impreza that was in Leeds train station earlier today!!!

Where about is martin based is someone ok to message me his details please :)

no it was braunstone crossroads www.my-bcm.co.uk. off down tuesday to see what they say but we'd rather have it repaired as we don't want to lose it and it's just the crank seal and gaskets that raise the price but doing the rocker gaskets yourself doesn't look too difficult. yep we are going to mention that it isn't fit for purpose and that the faults weren't mentioned. They said in person that they serviced it and the mot was done a week or two before with no advisory, I would have though they would have spotted / mentioned the oil leak. thanks again everyone :) do you think it would be worth contacting subaru sheffield and asking how much they would charge for everything doing ? just thinking if it is a bit lower they might be more inclined to fix it ?

Thank you to everyone who has replied it is a massive help and we are getting it shorted very shortly! And no Matt we got it from a car garage in Leicester x

Hi, We bought our 52 plate wrx about 6 weeks ago. Since then we have had smoke / steam coming from the bonnet when stopping at lights. We took our car to scooby clinic and they said that it would cost around £1200 to fix. The things they mentioned were: rocker cover gaskets have been poorly done and are leaking all 4 cam seals are leaking turbo oil feed and return line is leaking turbo water return is leaking radiator is leaking coolant hoses are leaking but we have bought a new set for £100 as we wanted these green anyway and the rear crank seal would need replacing which they priced at £450 due to requiring a lot of labour We have been messaging the garage since thursday with no replies. I spoke to them today and they basically said that they don't usually cover the seals etc with it being an old car. After mentioning that it wasn't fit for purpose and that I have to top the coolant and oil up every morning basically they said that we would need to bring the car in for them to have a look at it. Their mechanic is only mon - fri which means taking a day off work as it is an hour away. I was just looking for advice on things to mention or do to help my case, We have bought the coolant hoses and could fit the rocker cover gaskets ourselves if needed. I just don't see why I should have to pay that much after having a car for a month. The car has 94k miles and I paid £3100 with a warranty that doesn't really cover anything (they said in person it would cover head gaskets etc but it doesn't) Thanks in Advance

We used blue in my old fiesta and red in the fr just fancied a change :p Very nice engine bays savage especially V1 never thought about mixing blue and red to be fair might be another suggestion on the table

Sorry meant to put :) ha

I shall check viper and scoobyworld :) just stuck on colours. Ive said with it being silver and black exterior then green would be well suited especially with all the interior lighting being green but he's saying red goes better as looks more like a performance motor. Thank you for the advise :(

Thank you shall take a look :)
