Well that's the second one gone. Looks like they last about 6K miles on my car. Anybody beat that.

You know my brother was hoping that since I'd got a new car that the days of securing parts with tank tape and cable ties were over. Ha little does he know how well put together Scoobies are

Worst bit is though that it is going to take my dealer 2 WEEKS to get a replacement. Just as well I was sitting down at the time

Emm! and I thought I was the only one.... I'm on my second. The metals too thin and the vibration sh*gs it after a while (well, that's what I think). Mind you, still looking forward to Oct and the Motor show! Can't think of anything else (well that I can afford) that I'd rather own/buy.

Enjoy...

Mike,

I think my dealer is going to modify the next bracket to see if they can stop it braking. So hopefully this next one will last past the 18k barrier.

Aww, Dave. You must be either working the car too hard or those new lights are melting the bracket!!!

Cool

Mark,

Mmmm never thought about the lights. Must phone Scoobysport and check to see if that is a known problem, since I don't drive my car hard at all

Oh by the way brake pads are about shot at 12k but the new tyres are bedding in nicely .

PS: Exhaust and filter are on the cards for next month.
