stuartie Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Hello and welcome to the club i'm fairly new to the scoobs aswell but from what i've read and what other members say is make sure its had cam belt, tensioners and water pump done, check for rust around rear arches and strut turrets and the 2ltr engines seem to be pretty bomb proof and puts up with alot of punishment also low mileage does't necessarily mean itl be any better than a higher mileage one it all depends on how its been treated if you have any concerns just walk away theres always plenty more out there 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuartie Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Your welcome pal. Aye the reason its tucked away for winter is because of the amount of salt they chuck on the roads here in the scottish borders is unreal the roads are pure white with it from november until the end of march and even though i've undersealed it all still don't fancy having to get new rear arches and stuff because the salt gets into everything also gives me time to save up for parts for the scoob winter is a busy time for me on standby to go out fixing the horrible gritters so in a way its kinda my fault theres so much grit on the roads haha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
