Looking at the info above and from my own memory of the Classic connections, the fuel hose lengths are only about 80mm.
It is very expensive i agree. The £175 includes replacing the whole metal fuel pipes that runs under the intake manifold - Subaru actually revised the design of the pipe to prevent this problem in future.

But saying that, its a 2002 car so the current hoses have lasted 7 winters already - surely replacing the hoses and leaving the pipework the same should last just as long!
