Hi everyone! the names don or scooby boi . I am 23 n live in south east london! I have just bought my first scooby Yay! well where do i start i love it flat 4, turbo boost well its great !!
I have had some fast cars but boy this is something else. My other car is a vectra 2.5 v6 (another gorgeous sounding engine) but i saw this and just had to get it.
Not sure how to put pics up yet how do i do this????

Any way its a 1995 uk wagon , mint body mint engine, runs perfectly and is fast!!!
i got it for £750 had a travels a long way tho but meant i had a nice drive back !
1 problem Fuel Gauge seems to stick half way up, fill it up and it goes to the top drive the gauge moves down as u would expect but only to the half way mark, now the previous owner had given me a 2nd set of clocks to try and cure this problem but it seems to do the same thing.

Now investigating the issue i removed the clocks and fiddled around but to no avail.

A quick question befor i investigat further , does the fuel gauge return to empty when u switch of the ignition or remove power, because neither of the gauges i have do the stay at the same place they were with the ignition on.

take the sender unit out of the tank and check the contacts on it,if its been driven round with someone only ever putting half a tank in they may have worn quite a bit
