My car (MY00 turbo) seems to be leaking what looks like engine oil in the wheel arch?? The engine bay is dry with no signs of any leakage, the only thing I can see is a black cylinder with "2nd Stage purge" on it near the air filter that has a pipe leading into the wing and was wondering if this could be the culprit? I thought it was a leaking shock but have checked that and it is fine, same goes for the brakes, no leaks at all. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. cheers, Martin

My names Martin and started off with a Mk11 golf gti 16v. After saving my pennies bought a Silver 95 UK Turbo. Loved it and kept it for 4 years before selling to my uncle. Bought an 00 Uk Turbo Dark Mica Blue, added a hooligan exhaust and some Eibachs and convinced my old man to buy an 04 WRX. Best thing about the car, the noise and the fact that my dog hears me from about 2 miles away and sits and waits at the door. 1. GUMBALL ..............04 STI WR BLUE 2.

Cheers for the advice Scottiescoob, never even knew the site existed. Grant, swapping HT leads was a close 3rd after 1) chucking in some leaded petrol from the dads mower and 2) doing a spot of DIY with the Black & Decker and adding a few holes Hey Carl, I've heard good things about Julian so I think we'll go there. He said he could customize it while we wait, see if she is happy etc and then change it if not. I hail from the "Paris of the North", Fraserburgh for my sins and am a rig rat like you. I've had Scoobies for nearly 6 years now but never really posted on here or Scoobynet, oh well never to late to start. The more mods I think about doing the more I think I had better ask for advice

I realise she won't get a burble but I'm hoping it will have a bit of a "rip" about it, like the ones in the Italian Job (with a few other tweaks) She loves the Scoobies (my dad and uncle both have as well!!) but I think she likes the idea of looking like this delicate little female driver in a mini but terrorising folk on the twisties, mad little bugger. I think the guy that installs the Poweflow ones welds them up while you wait and is supposed to be a really good hand. Maybe if C & C were a bit closer I'd give them a bash!

As per the title, my little Sis has just bought an MY02 Cooper S and wants it to sound like my bad boy . (MY00 Scooby, full decat and afterburner). Although I don't fancy her chances, there is a local garage at Turriff that do the Powerflow systems and he said they can customize it to make it as loud as she wants! Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with these either on the Scoobys or other cars and if they would recommend them. Cheers, Martin
