Update....Called VOSA today the chap Martin mentioned in the link that G.Mac so kindly put up was very nice and helpful (*to a point* ).Tells me the have looked into it extensively ,that the amount of fuel leaking was not significant enough,nor enough to cause fire.He did say that though this was the case Subaru did not want to have too many unhappy customers and would fix this known problem .Great i thought.
He then went on to tell me to get it booked in to get it assessed and to Email him the name of the dealer,he would contact Subaru UK with the details and they in turn would get into contact with said dealer.Once it was agreed to be the known problem it would be fixed..........As long as the car has not been *modified*.
So there you go, if you have a problem like this and have a standard car your luck is in
looks like i will need to get it fixed myself
