Default My front crank seal has gone MY96 WRX

I think my front crank seal has gone. Does anyone know how much this would cost to replace (obviously would be getting new cambelt at the same time) and I assume any general garage do this? If not, any advice where to go in the Broxbourne Hertfordshire area?
Thanks

had mine go on my first car - sport. needed cambelt obviously, and when taking off the tensioner, a couple teeth had bust. garage was reputable, but the tensioner was 110+vat from subaru.

so in the end parts, seal, cambelt, labour, was 310

Ha Ha perfect, my next question was going to be "has anyone used Perfect Touch in hoddesdon for engine work?" Nice one.

I have used them to fit my clifford but was not sure what else they did. Give us a wave next time ya see me

Anyone know how long it should take to fit new crank cover seal then?

Perfect touch is full of skylines and evos right now with their engine in bits lol, ive used them for 5 years on various cars. They are expensive but are excellent on fault finding and wont let a car leave unless its 100%.

Yeah will do, ill look out for ya fellow neighbour
