Buying from subaruparts.com?
 
How do we Brits order things from the States, specifically subaruparts.com if they will not accept non-American credit cards or PayPal? I want to get some bits but have no idea how to go about getting payment to them.

What do you guys do when you buy things from them?

Try Dayle at http://www.motorsportwarehouse.com

or www.1stsubaruparts.com

Both will happily accept UK cards.

Dayle may be able to supply a 3.70:1 diff too

Thanks for that Andy. By coincidence I sent an e-mail to 1stsubaruparts.com the other day about rear diffs. Awaiting a reply at the moment but I never even considered Dayle at motorsportwarehouse.com!:o To tell you the truth I thought they only dealt with the accessories side of things. But nothing ventured, nothing gained. I shall send Dayle an e-mail or PM ASAP.

Have you seen this posting on the uk yahoo site?

Somebody is breaking an SVX for spares.

Yeah I did, I sent her an e-mail a couple of days back but no reply yet.

As for Dayle, once I wanted him to quote me BM tranny cooler, his price was 3 times higher as I purchased from Jegs....

She'd replied when I got home from work and logged on. Regretfully she needs to keep the rear diff.........the hunt goes on. :(

Have you tried 'U Save Automotive 08456 589777'

Nobody 01-14-2004 12:48 PM

My advice is try to determine weather you really need new diff. Generaly it is undestroyable, just need regularly chaging oil and find the way how to replace bushings. As for me there should not be any mechanical problem, try to check it with some tranny guy or ask Nissan dealership weather they can help. If the diff is the same like the one in Pathfinder they should know it in a minute.

Yeah mate, I think you're right there. My first line of attack has got to be to make 100% sure that the diff really is the problem. I just think it's wise to try and found out where to source a replacement in case it is ready to go "Kaboom!!!":D Even if mine is OK the info I dig up may be of use to some of you guys.

Yeah, I rang them last week and they weren't able to help. :confused:

Does any other Subaru model use that same diff? I know a few places that specialise in breaking Legacies/Imprezas/Justys/Brats etc.
