The fuel flap issue can be fixed at any dealer under warranty with a new part. The plastic piece that sits inside the flap. Get that done to.

 

performance creations are making mud flaps just now if anyone is interested, i have one of the first sets from them, im taking pics during the fitting process so they can make up fitting instructions.

i have an HT Auto splitter kit in the garage, a Pro-R air filter in the post and a Nameless performance exhaust getting built just now, as well as the mud flaps from performance creations

hope to clear some space in the garage and get the flaps and splitters fitted tomorrow out of the rain

 

Will the flaps be as good as the Rally Armour ones we use to fit on the previous model and now available in the UK? How much?

 

i'v run with performance creations (rally flapz) on a lot of my scoobs over the years with no probs and a spot on fit, im not sure on the price as this is the 1st set to fit so they can get pics to go with the fitting instructions so got them at cost of manufacture

will post some pics and let you know how easy they were to fit and how good a fit they are, sun looks to be the dry day here

 

 

Lucky today, managed to receive assistance from a kindly motorist whilst attempting to put fuel in. It did'nt stop any of the embarrassment or ridicule from the majority of onlookers though. Oh the shame

 

It's a pain in the **** isn't it, i stuck a jumper in there to keep the lever up, then i could open the flap

 

 

yea thats pretty much what i did I cant believe this simple thing was missed when they tested the car, did it happen on MY11's ?

 

Looks like it's miss fitment of the spring behind the door arm , it may be twisted

 

A novelty at first, I even said it's an added safety feature

Trouble is on the horizon as once my patience has gone, it's gone.

 

nah the spring works fine, its the plastic tab it pushes on which releases the flap, it isn't long enough! The TSB from a dealer is to replace the plastic part which houses the tab the spring pushes against.

 

Are these like the previous models and best avoiding 19's? Has anyone tried them yet?

 

Had 19's on my previous blob and the ride was atrocious. I wouldn't bother.

 

Fill the arches so much better though!

 

True, but function over form for me. If you want to fill those arches, it would be better to get a spring kit and lower it, rather than stick 19's on it imo.

 

performance creations flaps now fitted

 

Here's another one of the 250 picked it up last week...my first scooby

 

Nice Togsy a great way to start scooby ownership

 

Cheers bio

After only 300 miles I'm wondering why I didn't do it sooner!

On another note any ideas how long I should wait until the engine is 'bedded in' before properly giving it the beans?

 

Stunning

 

1K is advisable and put the engine under different loads. Keep it under 4.5-5Krpm, but i wouldn't worry about it too much.

 

It'll blow up anyway

 

Haha nice1 i was waiting for the first one of those!

Its under warranty so im not too concerned if im honest....plus it wouldnt be the first engine ive blew up

 

Ignore the d1ckhead he had a 2.5 that blew up on him before, so he's bitter and demented And now he drives a Mazda, enough said

 

Nice mate ! I'd love to see at least another one at a meet or two

 

Thanks mate. Im going to start going to a few meets so might see you around! Havent seen another one on the road yet

 

Yeah I had a 2.5 that shat itself, along with many other people. The one in my current car has been assembled properly so I don't worry about it.

Joking aside, the new engines will be fine if the clearances have been sorted and these ceramic pistons are up to the job.

 

Just got mine today after waiting 6 weeks.

 

after selling my 330s a year ago, i am missing it a little.

are there any deals around on the my15 models at the mo?
