Back to the world of Scoobies!!
Well, I have returned from the darkside! After owning an Octavia vRS for the last 2 years, having previously owned a UK MY98, I p/xed the Octavia for a 1996 WRX STi and a bit of cash today....... and its great to be back! The Octavia just couldnt quite provide that grin factor that the Scooby does!
There are a couple of minor issues with the car that I would be grateful for you guys advice on:
1) Horn doesnt work....
2) Electric Ariel doesnt work - where can I get a new one?
3) Right bolster on drivers seat worn through - can you get them recovered / replaced?
4) Blanking panel missing from centre console (above radio) - where can I get one?!
5) Drivers mirror is knackered. Where can I get a whole new unit in white?!
6) It needs four new tyres and I think the back discs are grinding a bit.........
Other than these minor niggles it is friggin great to be back!!
Cheers,
Calum

You could give www.scoobybits.co.uk a ring, i know they have quite a large stock of spares and im sure the lads would ship to Scotland.

Thanks for the above - will give them a ring....
Next question guys. Any thoughts where I can get an OEM cambelt for the car? I have a local garage who have fitted a couple before but can only provide goodyear belts. Not to sure about this........ Or does anybody know of any import specialists in Scotland who could do the job?
Thanks,
Calum
