Race moments?
Seams when you drive a scooby we all have a target on our boots and that every other driver wants to say they've raced and beaten a Scooby no matter what pile of dog pooh or super car they drive. Quite funny at times but more annoying most of the time. Hey ho wouldn't change it for a minute though love the scooby to much.

MOT emissions fail
I was told my scooby had a cat back exhaust on it when I purchased it only to find out come the mot a year later it was decatted. My emissions were similar to yours but luckily enough I know a guy that can still get an mot minus the emissions part so good luck on your search for a "friendly " tester. Best ask a tester at a small garage not a dealership or franchise like Kwik fit or halfords.

Which Tyres for Subaru Forester 2.5XT - standard 16" rims.
I believe it's the circumference that's affects the speedo not the width hence changing from 60 to 55 profile will alter the speedo slightly.

He said it looked pretty nastie and drove past again on Sunday on his way to work just as they had pulled it out of the bushes said it was well mangled at the front end. ☹️☹️☹️ Hopefully the owner is ok and secondly the car can be repaired.

windsreen fixing on hatchback
Agree with previous post as most windscreens are part of the structural integrity now. And if nothing else water ingress could cause all manner of problems especially this time of year where trapped water may freeze and cause more damage.

Fitted a set of blue scoobyworld mud flaps. They look great and quite easy to install all be it having to remove the wheels but that gave me the chance to look over the suspension and brakes. New pads will be required soon

Yes as above mine felt like it didn't release but if you push the bonnet down where the catch is it might pop up mine did but be careful not to push to hard and dent the bonnet.

Booked the unwell girl into the doctors on Friday to see what's happening with the emissions. So still longing to give her a proper blast. On the plus side both strut braces are fitted and just waiting for my new mud flaps to arrive.

M2 Motorsport front and rear strut braces
Rear strut brace is now fitted. It involved taking the whole of the back seat out fairly straight forward 6 bolts and it was out. Access to the strut tops is very limited and fitting the mounting plates was quite difficult. After much persuasion they went in and the bracing bar fitted in the boot. Took about 45 minutes to complete the job and they both look great. Well worth the money and effort to fit.

M2 Motorsport front and rear strut braces
The strut braces have turned up and look good. Ive fitted the front one and it only took 10 minutes or so. Just 3 nuts on each strut and the fit was very good. A wee bit tight doing the bolt up between the mounting plate and the bracing bar but no real drama. Ive not fitted the rear brace as the rear seats have to come out and as its raining not ideal to be doing that.
