Im in my 30's and just joined the club.....and i doubt i will ever be leaving either! So roll on ma 70's n ma Scoob! But this is for all sensible (most of the time) folks, n not a bunch o neds! tell yir dad he's mare than welcome! Aw the best, Bov.

I try to wave if waved at, but i am usually too late, and i try to take the initiative and wave at other scoob turbo's as well but sometimes im not very good at that either......No offence meant lads n lassies, sometimes i am just a bit slow! I used to do it when i had a Corrado with other Corrado owners, but there wasn't quite as many of them on the road!

here's me with baby number1 here's baby number 2 and number 2 again BovSTI a.k.a Steven...........

Welcome Stevie! Nice motor! I am fairly new to the forum as well and it really is a great place to find out about all things Scooby.....Everyone is really helpful.....

Thanks again Lads! i will try these lot out and hopefully have them delivered and on for the weekend! Cheers, Bovis.

Cheers for all the help on this guys! here is a few pics of the old girl! Not bad for an old dear eh! Typically i had just washed and chamois'd her off yesterday and it bucketed down just as i finished! Cheers again, Bovis...

I was all chuffed, got my coolant hoses ordered on Friday night, only to be brought back down to earth today with a bang by scoobyworld.com telling me that i will have a 4-6 week wait on them as they are out of stock at the moment. Does anybody know a place/website that does them for the fairly decent price they were giving me (£133 inc delivery) and will have the stock to deliver for this wekend? Cheers, Bovis.

yeah it is a bit of a bummer that it is on its way out, but hopefully it'll last me a few months yet, then i'll get it done when the good weather comes in......mind you we do live in Scotland! It is the original head gaskets on her so its probably about time they were done. An uprated clutch was only put in about 8K ago, so hopefully it doesn't need done yet.

News is semi-good.......had her in at Duncan at Hypertech today and the head gasket isn't gone. Pressure test revealed there were a couple of leaks on the top and bottom radiator hoses via loose hose clips, and the cap on the expansion tank is loose and letting coolant out. So......... The clips have been replaced and tightened and Im gona get myself a nice set of samco hoses, and get the alloy header tank fitted asap. The sniffer test for gases in the coolant came back negative so the head isnt away yet. But Duncan thinks there is too much pressure in the cooling system and this could be a sign that the gasket is on its way out. So im gona run with her just now and hopefully get the gasket replaced and upgraded later in the summer. I'll also get the coilpacks, plugs, oil & filter done (anybody think of anything else i should get done while the engine is out???) at the sametime, so i know she is in good shape to get handed over to AndyF!

had this with my last cars exhaust, a wee bit of meguiars scratch remover (or something similar) and some elbow grease should get rid of the brown stains!

Cheers for the info Arch. I am a bit of skinflint so i opted for the cheaper PAS alloy header tank first off, if i really can't get it to fit, i will get the forge and it is good to know that it is a simple job to fit! Cheers, Bovis.

Cheers mate, good to know that it can be done, but with just a little work..... JohnnyR6 or Coulty id be very grateful if you read this you could post a pic or two? Bovis.

Has anyone replaced the crappy plastic coolant expansion tank with the alloy version on the classic? Was easy/hard? Did you have to get any "bits" made to get it to fit? Cheers Bovis.

mate this must be a nightmare for you..... these mindless ar$eh0les must have nothing better to do with their worthless lives than key cars they could never dream of owning. It's down to a couple of things jealousy and ignorance as they probably don't know any better cause it is something their parents would do! lets give these scumbags a "darn good thrashing" wi a couple o baseball bats!!!! Hope you get them mate!

Aye thats rite when Billy was test driving the RB5! Billy big & small are doing excellent....still motor daft, and are going to give me a dig out this weekend trying to get to the bottom of the leak! Cheers Gav, Bovis.
