Sweet mate,
Bet your getting excited at buying parts for the motor now?

 

yeah mate. but also worried lol, looking for a mechanical oil pressure gauge now. dun trust the electric ones.

 

Train 'em young, helps when you need to spend on the car later on

She looks like a little treasure

 

treasure is one word lol

 

Funny you should mention that,mine went down to 20 psi the other day and i thought oh sh*t until i give the sender unit a little tap and low and behold back too 47 psi on hot idle[panic over lol]
On a even worse note my front diff has broken and is now torque steering my car all over the road

 

yeh, i took mine out as they were playing up. wish i hadnt, i would have seen the oil temp rise and pulled over and saved engine. so mechanical is way forward i think. need reliability

 

Aye up its Jon as well,i put that rear diff in Jon and the front one has gone now after 25 miles of fun
Im beginning to get fed up with my scoob tbho as i haven't the time to keep fixing it when it goes wrong.
You may see another modded scoob being broke soon at this rate

 

Yours is at that age though and before you know it you'll have all those tired old parts replaced and be enjoying it again. I was feeling similar on Friday when I couldn't find a cabin fuse and the voltages were all over the place, but now it's sorted and I'm looking forward to getting it coated in your finest DBM mix and special lacquer

 

LOL i have nearly replaced everything on mine Jon,including the box twice and this is the second rear diff as well,i may just splash out for a 6 speed now which will hopefully stop my transmission problem's!
I bet your looking forward to it mate,it will be one of the best looking scoob's on SN when i'm finished,mind you will of course have to take some of the glory as its your modifications that will help make it stand out mate

 

TBH I'm dreading it, my biggest concern is getting the cash together to get it done before the summer is over, like you I seem to find something around every corner that cost money.

 

Tell me about it,i just got round to paying for my ALK kit of CDF because i forgot all about putting the deposit down
Then i put this rear diff in and 25 bloody miles later this happens,my missus is loving me and car at the moment
I found that worrying about getting something done only leads to it not being as good a you'd hoped or getting you in the financial myer,i know its easier said than done but just let it happen when it can mate.
Neither you/your car or me are going any where
