The handbrake might work on the front wheels, not the rears.

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

£280 you should do what the guys on topgear would do and use a paint brush to paint it British racing green, fit a few body extras and race it.

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

My mum used to have an 8v 1.9 ZX Volcane, which was actually great fun.

But congrats on the shi**er

I think there should be a "Scoobynet Sh**er Club".

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
