Has anyone tried one of these cheap repair kits you can get from Amazon and eBay? Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk

Same as any car really. He should have receipts for oil and filter changes at least every 10k. Anyone else please feel free to correct me on the mileage. Personally I do mine every 5k. Can belt should have been changed at least once. Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk

If it's been looked after and has FSH engine should be good for 200k miles. Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk

Congratulations. Looks good [emoji106]. Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk

What year is it? Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk

I was assuming it had discs on the rear too but if it hasn't, it won't be that. Just strange how it has only just shown these symptoms. Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk

You need to check he hasn't bent that brake disc. Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk

I have the same issue. Only happens in heavy rain. I just get a pool of water on the boot mat around the rear left corner of the boot. I can never find any thing wet around the boot lid or sides. I've tried re-masticing on the boot seal. I'll have a look at the light cluster next. Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk

What confuses me is that the oil level is always about 1cm higher on one side of the dip than the other. Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk

Can you do a compression test on all the cylinders? Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk

Thanks Aucky. What about the white circles?

The only time I had something similar was when the throttle cable needed oiling. Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk

I bought mine from quay vehicle solutions near Newport. Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk

It's just a case of waiting for o w too come up. Most have FSH as they tended be owned by people who care about their cars. Took me a couple of months to find the right one. Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk

Also check the front brakes are not binding. Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk

Ah. If the drive belt slips when the aircon is on it can make a burning rubber smell. Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk

I see mist coming in when the aircon is on not smoke. That's normal. Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk

My insurance has gone up nearly £100 this year. I compared my renewal notice with a couple of comparison sites and it seems about right. Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk

Repair done. It's not brilliant cosmetically but much better than it was. Should last a few years. Clayed and waxed car while I was at it .

Hi John. What you describe is typical of worn CV joints. I'm not sure if you should be able to feel any free play when they start to knock. Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk

Almost certainly CV joints. Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk

Thanks for that Hudson 👍. Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk

I've been working on the car today. I knew I was going to have to get the radiator out to patch up the rot in the part of the body the aircon radiator sits on. It was worse than I thought though. Not much of it left! Is this normal behavior for a 2003 89K mile Scuby or does it mean my radiator has been leaking for ages? I see this bit has a part number but it's welded in and I can only find American web sites listing it. For now I will repair it with aluminium mesh and GRP. I'm going to get a new rad as well. Only £75 from EuroCarParts at the moment.
