looking good pal!! mine are starting to rust n bubble aswell! Where did you get it sorted??

jon

Yip looks great (me too for bodyshop work )

Too many people have too much to say

some of the comments are shocking!! I'm sure iv seen that car around too....

facelift grill is different shape at end to meet flush with facelift lights. i take it your car is pre 96. 96-98 or 98-00 would suit but theres a slight change in design with botton lip protruding more on later cars.

i think acid was running his old green car with facelift grill and non facelift bonnet but i canny mind right. may have been other way about. send him a pm and see if it fitted alright.

Yip its a 95, thanks for your help will give acid a pm and ask him

Cheers

Have decided to get my tesco trolley dents fixed also have a few rust spots coming through too on the rear arches!! Anybody reasonably priced in my area?? better get them done before they get worse

Cheers

Dilemma!!! New lights fitted...but dont think I like them

the grill is about half inch shorter on either side!! Can I get another grill to fit or scrap them and go back to the originals

I find that because i drive a wagon, some seem to think its not a scooby so turn away and don't wave back...I always try to wave altho sometimes a bit late in spotting them

We need some sort of recognition(I still have my Mcrae Gathering sticker on the bonnet lol)

Cathy aka Midnight21 (and one of my other modes of transport) WHAT A GREAT IDEA

Happy Birthday Keira smart wee pressie

i would try removing other bolt holding spot on, if it snaps too all the better. behind the platic where the fog sits there is a very thin metal square which has nuts welded to it. it will probably be rusty. once all bolts are out it should lift up a bit and then fall off.

you could then get a second hand one or use just normal nuts/bolts with some large penny washers. i got new ones cause im a fussy git. dab of copper grease on reassembly to prevent it happening again.

I have managed to get the spot off only 2 bolts sheared the one for the indicator and the one below it the other 2 were a bit rusty but eventually got them!! Think thats what was wrong as tried to turn the nuts at the back then realised they were welded on will have a look tomorrow to see if I can remove the thin metal square.....thanks for that

Well have fitted the lights today ........nearly!!!! the last bl@@dy bolt to remove on the indicator sheared in half!!!!! Then when i tried to remove the spot to get better access one of them sheared off too But never mind i am well proud of myself for fitting them PS any ideas how to get the remaining part of the bolt out? Can i drill it out or will that wreck the thread for new ones

Thanks

aye nae bother.

might be handy having either 1/4 or 3/8 socket set for getting in about the indicator retaining bolt iirc.

Thanks I have them Will give it a try tomorrow

Hi all have just bought new headlights,side lights and front indicators for my classic ...are they quite easy to fit ie spanner,screwdriver etc (or should I say will I manage myself )

Cheers

At least you know how to swirl the number plate out even i cant do that LOL Oh and like the one that looks like you have run the man over

I use Tesco.... but they don't insure for theft unless i have tracker fitted

hope you get it back mate my gb270 got stole nearly 2 weeks agow now am guted got told by the police to stop phoning to see if they have found it they said i was waisting my time phoning they would get in touch if they found it a dont fink i am waisting my time a***holes that they are.

Dont give up phoning! I had my Landrover Freelander stolen a few years back and after a month the police phoned me to say it was parked over someone's driveway and if i didnt move it they would have it lifted!! So they don't always keep us in touch This is getting scary with the reports of stolen scoobies Lets hope they turn up safe and sound

Bad move

Once you see the other members cars you will be pricing up kidney sales and seeing how much the local optician will give you for one of your eyeballs

Welcome and enjoy your stay

Hi Yip thats so true lol I have just splashed out on new lights too

Result!

Seeing as how ye didnae use them...

...gaunnae pass roon' the wine gums well?

Toooo late lol

I am afraid the MAF will only show as a fault when it is dead, my one hickuped the other day and left no code then a day later the MAF went which left a code, lucky I had a spare with me though. There are so many causes of hesitation on the scoob it can be quite hard to diagnose them over the forum.

Cheers Iain

Thanks for that

Thats it off used sticky stuff remover from b&q and some elbow grease (had bought it before the reply on tar remover ) ta very much for all the replies

No boost gauge fitted and thought it maybe the maf on its way out although this is the first time i have noticed it struggling a bit...would the maf failing not show up as a fault? Its a my96 import

Car was chugging a bit today but no cel light on, so checked for any codes and code 13 is what flashed on the dash.. recently had one fitted so is this just stored as a fault and needing cleared? and will temporarily disconnecting the battery help??

Thanks in advance

Well so far I have nearly removed one side..( it is well stuck on!!!! )....with wd40 and heat, just bought sticky stuff remover to try tomorrow and will let you know how that goes (also bought a packet of wine gums, will try and keep one ) and the new ones come tomorrow too

Thats looking swell i'm the same want to do stuff to mine but lack of funds just now!!

Hi just removed my wind deflectors and there is double sided tape stuck on the car where they have been...any ideas how to remove it...have tried using heat gun but wary of maybe damaging the paintwork (and its burning my fingers lol)

Thanks
