ive fitted a ram air cone filter with no remap and no probs. And had an extra 20 bhp @ the wheels? thats before the exhaust change and de cat. same there no remap

, gotta live up before the senses go!

Never a truer sayin eh?

And wow bit of a sore brake change eh?

Iv just had to do my rear suspension too got a full set shockies/springs cheap. Standard tho but time and money is the issue but im able to do my own so lightens it a bit especialy the pocket. Christ it was the brakes last wk that left me 500 oot.

But the pleasure we get from the cars makes up for it. well for me it does.

to be honest id never even saw a car with any more than 152,000 on it. So am well impressed at how long sum folks are going. But is it ther original engines?

nice car not sure on the colour tho but its your choice

For the mot you need at least 1 cat fitted. So id go the cheaper option and get the 2nd. On mines cost me 70 or 80 and i fitted it.

nice pics m8 wish id made it there looks as if it was a swell day

iam with conner ive only got this site as sidc and thats how i refer to it with friends. And didnt know its other alias untill this thread when i searched. But hopefully both can work along side with out there being confusion and enjoy a good crowd.

thank god noo too much needs looked at or done. As i hope to keep it pristine and for a long time after i sort oot the engine and its rear shunt.

hi to all

Well ive got 134.000 miles on my scoob. And as a result would like to know what should be changed etc.

I have no previous history on it, apart from the story of its accident.

so ive done the oil, filters, plugs,ht leads and a new cat. So next is the timming belt as its high up. Then my clutch as its not as quick as it was plus ive had a slip every now and then but only when cold. Or so it seems, im also waiting on new brakes to arrive. (upgrades)

So after that its the suspension as my both rear shocks are gonners, well 1 is for sure.

But my main concern is the engine. The only oil leak i can see is from my sump a small hole and loads of rust so must go. Other than that i cant fault the engine only a very faint rattle (thats expected for age and mileage) But what do i know.

The cars a 97 classic and would prefer to stay standard coz there cant be many left. And i prefer the rarity. any suggestions or what to look out for would be grate

try this place there usually good but also pricey on sum things www.carparts-direct.co.uk

but would it not be easier/quicker to change the whole drive shaft

this was his first attempt at his own site dnt thik he uses it now

http://scottishscoobies.freephpbb3.com/index.php

ive also noticed he has the same surname as mine so id better be having words with conner as no one in my family has heard of him or of there being an inverness side to the clan

as said above yep its the poor mans porker but what a lovely car to drive and perfect for the missus so ad go for it.

But then again iam fond off my porkers especialy the 1978/9 carrera the best ever.

iam actually looking for the whole rear end just behind the bumper al try and post a pic

ive sourced a bumper for a tenner (pretty good i think) have the spoiler repaired and the boot lid will be pulled oot

my floor pan seems ok. so its just the panel that the boot closes onto and the lights bolt ti. i did have a part number but dont know where its went

ive not yet joined yet as im more in tune with the way this site works and the infos no bad either but i will join the other as variety is good and who knows might learn new/better things

i got a pm on this site aswell as scoobie net from him inviting me over so i did and my hat off to Conner for giving it a bash id thought about it and that was where i left it

glad you re converted coz after a totaly crap year and a half of pure sheds. i decided to splash oot a little and get my first scoob. and after having it for about 4 months now id never change it. and have had my fair share of dents dings scuffs etc. after all i bought mine with damage to the rear and wont grudge a penny of fixing her all up. as it brings a huge smile on my face and makes me feel great when driving thats "PRICELESS" good auld master card

GRIN IT AND BEAR IT

hi was searching the web and local auto shops looking for a rear end panel, the one the lights bolt up to and boot latches. But can only find an American supplier that wont ship.

So can anyone recomend anywhere to get these from.

Think thats why the previous owners insurance wouldnt fix it. After being told it hadnt went thru insurance then findin out it had, annoyed me coz now ive gotta fix it all up to get sum id check thingy done, before i get the new documents. And then ive gotta pay for the privilage no fair, so it just aswell i think the cars great and enjoy every drive init.

welcome and hi

ive saw you about the city and waved a few times very nice car ( white classic is my choice)

LOL!

Wouldn't part with that amount of cash for a car of that age - 500bhp or not. And, as someone pointed out, the inside is like a shed.

i 2nd that its age dont reflect the price maybe if it had some race history but then again

cheers for the help my exhaust was hitting my floor at the back as they hadnt put on the 3rd rubber and the clutch is gonna cost me 175 for the lot fitted aswell great family i have

orite peeps im having a couple of probs and hope that someone can help

other day there i was reversing a short distance up a steep road, when it felt like something underneath moved. And i heard a bang, but only when i first started. Then later on that night when i went out i got a slip from the clutch on a few occasions. But the next day it seemed ok (no slip). Then again a few days later it slipped away again, but now seems ok tho i dont seem to have the same power as before, at take off but theres no slip. then tonight when i went to reverse im getting a knocking sound but think it might be my exhaust, as it just got replaced today.

Any help/advice would be great cheers , craig

superb like the style keep going

personaly i think its a big well deserved improvement. it gets my (not the kitchen roll )

it never fails to impress me looking at the banana just stunning

I had a simmilar instance when i done deliveries for a private company, and my boss at the time got the same squeal as you. But he then went on and claimed thier insurance on the public liability side. And won it straight off, as its similar in term off you falling and hurting yerself. But iam sure he went thru his own insurance first thou.

Anyhow shame on the damage eh? wot a cun+
