Default a few quick questions from a new scooby owner

just bought my first scooby - a 98 turbo 2000 awd with prodrive suspension / sti interior... i think its very nice!

just a few quick questions - is the full guage supposed to show the level in the car even with the engine off - mine does but in all my other cars the needle only rises when the car is switched on ?????

also where can i get hols of some fog lamp covers ???

Hi mate

Yes my gauge needle stops where it is with the engine on or off.

Fog light covers can be picked up places like this Jap Performance Parts or ebay or in the for sale section.
