A friend is having trouble with his - 1 or probably 2 cylinders are giving issues; he was hoping it was coil-pack/similar problems, but he's decided the cylinder head must come off.

He is in West Sussex.

Apart from Greenwood Racing (which he is going to contact) is there anyone else in the area who specialist in Imprezas and you would recommend?

Thanks.

He should get it hooked up to diagnostics before he thinks about stripping heads etc... why do so much work if it might not be required.

What problem exactly does he think he has??

Thanks chaps - I'm sure he's done such things - he's a bright lad and experienced with cars/engines.

It's been ongoing for months, and he's had various 2nd opinions, but down in deepest Sussex there are very few Impreza specialists.
