Managed to make a small crack the sump pan trying to remove the drain plus on a 99 Forester Turbo. Anyone know how much a new sump pan might be and how easy ( or otherwise !) it is to remove and fit. Still haven't managed to remove the plug either. The crack is v small, with only a slight weep, but I don't know if could repair it with jb weld for example - perhaps enough to let me drive it to the dealer !
Any thoughts or advice gratefully received ....

Hi, if it is similar to the impreza, they are about £60 from subaru. By the way the sumps are a weak point for rust. When my car went in for an MOT, I had a chat with a mechanic(subaru dealer) about my rust on sump. He said we change them all the time, and he wasnt fibbing, there was a pile of about fifteen.

About 1 hour to fit

Cheers Andy - I've got it booked in with my nearest dealer, Simpsons, to be done ( 40 miles) as it looked a bit tricky to get the old sump off ( especially still full of oil as drqan plug u/s. Expensive way of saving a few bob by changing the oil and doing the 7500 service myself !
