My 2.0 legacy doesn't seem to drink that much fuel. I do quite alot of miles per week, driving in and around town and 20-30 miles along a dual carriageway each day. At the moment, I'm getting 31.8 MPG. Which I don't think is too bad considering its a pretty heavy car, big engine and AWD. Buying Shell Vpower is a bit pricey though, at about 136.9 per litre, however, you can collect shell points, which certainly add up, (2 points per litre of vpower, once you get 500points, you then get a £2.50 voucher) and you get extra MPG with higher RON fuel. Tax for mine is £280, although, after having a smaller 1.2 petrol at £130. The fun of driving the scooby is certainly worth the extra cost.

I bought some Autoglym Tar Remover.... not very exciting.

I use Autofinesse Iron out, pretty much does the same thing, all the contaminates run purple, give it a quick scrub then rinse it off. http://shop.autofinesse.co.uk/iron-out-500ml

I quite like these I found on ebay. (Clicky)

That looks the balls Pete.

yeah sounds great :)

ooohh, do post some pictures :)

I gave mine a wash, polish and a wax. Cleaned the windows with rainx glass cleaner and then applied some rainx on. Cleaned my alloys with autofinesse citrus power - amazing stuff!

lol i had google butter tubs, a bit too far for me I'm afraid :( I'm game for Whitby though,

Gutted pete. I'd be fuming... I'd guess its probably been done by a supermarket trolley or something.

I'm looking at 56miles, so If I can make the date I'm in :) I've got a mate, with a white Peugeot 207 GTI, that would like to come. Would everyone be fine with this?

I'm interested, a Saturday/sunday afternoon would be best for me though work 8am through 5-6pm mon-fri

ah thanks chaps, i was thinking of some E-tech stuff i found on larkspeed. - http://www.larkspeed.com/index.pl?p=28EBCPBK&a=i comes with cleaning stuff, i doubt the previous owner cleaned the calipers, so probably worth doing before i paint them.

hi all, so a mate suggested I should paint my calipers when I upgrade my discs and pads. therefore, anyone know of any decent caliper paint? not chosen a colour yet, but will most likely be matt black. Anyone any suggestions?

I'm on 87k, :) I think I will keep it for a few years, then get a newer model :)

I'm not sure what a microwave alarm is. But if your gf's ex is vandalising your scooby, surely contacting the feds would be a better idea?

I need some of them! where do you get them from? found some, wow 50 quid for a set...

I never actually got this issue sorted, as I don't really wanna leave it with the garage that caused it in the first place. But the steering wheel not being straight is doing my head in. Tempted to take it down to the Scooby guys in Sheffield.

ah I love rain x, amazing stuff!

I got my spare sorted today :) Now have a proper 17inch spare alloy in the boot. Mag to grid that crappy space saver. Also popped in a new K and N air filter.

I'd go for Silver myself. Although, blue would certainly make it stand out!

that is a very nice car! Wonder what the price would be?

yeah he specifically asked me if i was members of the owners club. then he went of the speak to the "underwriter" - lol whoever that guy is, but he sounded like he was in the know.

Flux offered me 950 for my legacy, got it elsewhere for 550. Was a nice chap on the phone though, :)

I bought a used alloy off ebay (for a spare) just need to clean it up and get a new tyre on :) I also bought a K an N Air filter, will get it fitted on Saturday :)
