hand brake does not work full stop
one of the rear wheels was infact slack
gave it a full valet
came up reasonable
i think one of the rear shockers is gone, thats what the final noise sounds like
went to the cash and carry and bought a set of "super mud burner" 14" wheel trims for it
i swear its faster

I had a ZX 1.6i Aura before I went and bought the scoob 
It was my second car and I loved it. Very reliable over the time that I had it only had 82k on a K plate when I sold it last year. Still see it around so is being looked after.
175k and still going strong. Says it all

honest the engine seams soooo sweet
looking back through the reciepts its had 2 glow plugs, it did not even need the whole lot of them replaced
drove to the bank earlier, going through the town centre was not quite the same as being in the scoob
arseholes in a golf right up my ****
and the fact that nobody even batted an eye lid when i went down the main street, was a bit wierd

unlucky mate - driving a pile of sh*t does have it's advantages tho.. like parking it anywhere and not worrying about it, don't clean it etc etc
quality post - we should have a section for this type of thing
