What did you do to your scooby today....
This is just a thread to show us all what you did to your scooby today
At the same time give other enthusiasts ideas on what they should do to theirs |
Have a look at this thread:
https://www.scoobynet.com/members-ga...this-week.html Today I drove it to work and dropped it off at my local garage for a full tracking and camber check to ensure nothing has drifted in the 1.5 years since my full suspension upgrade. |
took mine to In Town Automotive, Northampton, to get an estimate for fitting a Whiteline Front Roll Centre Correction Kit + Geo check/adjustment. They do any car and prices have been good in the past. The price is comeing up as £314 inc vat. Parts supplied by me.
So booked in for Monday. Trev |
Nothing because it is currently at Scoobyclinic.
|
parked one in the work car park and got a for sale ad ready for the other :cry:
|
Laid underneath mine faffing with the exhaust, got the hump, swore a lot very loudly - remembered I was on my driveway and not in my garage, came back in, had a sandwich and carried on with my work

previously had my car at Superior Cars, Horseshoe St, Northampton. They'd done good work for me in the past and have the Hunter alighnment system but have lost some good staff and I felt disappointed last time there. There are some good lads at 'In Town' but definitely used to more general cars than specialised. They welded up my exhaust and I was happy with the service so they've got the work this time but will report back Monday after job done.
From past experience on alighnment, The TT Shop, Unit 2, Triumph Way, Kempston are worth a look, although mainly Audi they do a good job on an Impreza. Trev |

Over 300 quid is a rip off Or try them, carnetix melton mowbray no idea how much they charge but they are good Carnetix are a good hour from me so not really an option this time, although worth an ask how much they would charge as they would be practised there. The garage put the info into their system and because the job is unfamiliar it's possibly over quoting. I don't know that and I run the risk of a big bill. Their labour rates are £60 per hr and £60 full geo check (inc vat) any adjustments would be at the standard labour charge. DIY- The Tie rod will be straightforward as they were replaced last year. It's the ball connection on the whishbone that concerns me as that has been there from new and may take some freeing. I see the droplink connection is undone/ ball connection castle nut removed and then the control arm forced down and wedged, leaving space to remove and replace the ball joint. I'm stuck if the old one wont budge as I only have basic tools. It did occur to me I could leave the control arm attached to aid removal but then I might end up needing a new control arm. Trev |
Sold it.
