Subaru parts policy headache
My diesel Subaru Legacy Tourer has failed at 45000 miles (June 2008 reg) with a crankshaft bearing failure. The car is out of warranty and does not have a complete Subaru FSH so Subaru are refusing to make any contribution towards the repair.
My problem is that they are also unable (or unwilling?) to supply just the crankshaft and bearings for this model and are only able to supply a new short engine at £4500 which puts the total bill at £8070.
Do you think this is a reasonable policy for a car less than 5 years old?

My 2019 SEAT Arona (18000 miles) water pump is leaking. When I get it replaced should I do the the timing belt at the same time? I have been quoted £899 is this reasonable?
I have a Renault Clio MkII. The indicators and windscreen wipers start on their own. They also go at different speeds than they should.
