I got my entire kit inc new rad from Grade A subaru. It was a bit of a drive to get it but not too difficult to fit as all the holes and wires are there ready. Seem to remember it was £400 and then £60 for testing and gassing, this was a few years ago.

Glenburgie Subaru supplied mine £250 a couple of years ago. It's easy to fit yourself in half a day

does aircon use extra fuel, as much as having the windows down.

You can deffo feel the pull on the engine when it's turned on. I've pretty much used mine for the entire week and have just filled up today. I'm one of these sad gits who check the mpg at every fill up and this tank is no different to any other tank

Nothing to do with having a degassing licence. It is too much hassle to ensure ALL the parts necessary to make it work are there.

We have parts, but will not supply a ' fit kit'
