Jay if you're already running a scooby then it's gotta be a holden for the MX's! Have the best of both worlds! I'm actually borrowing the Bathurst while my Cossie is being fixed - interesting back-to-back ;oD

They certainly are chalk and cheese, my 'next' car was going to be a V8 the last 3 times a bought a car! It's an itch I'll scratch eventually I'm sure. The biggest difference between the 2 is how they sound when you're driving (or passenger). The Bathurst sounds incredible as it drives past but cos it's competition is things like big audis and m5's it has to be fairly civilised too. The cossie's an assault on the senses in comparison... love it! If the Bathurst was mine I reckon i'd be destroying it's residuals by ripping out some of the sound-proofing! Never driven anything on the road that piles on speed like the Bathurst though. It just needs a dump valve! A Holden ute sounds like a perfect choice Jay762 8o)

My baby goes in on Monday, keep'em crossed for me! I'll post what happens and thanks for the input 8o) As an aside, one of my business partners took delivery of his VXR8 Bathurst today and took me out for a spin.... compared to the Cossie even that 600bhp bus seemed tame! God I hope it's an easy fix!

Thanks for the replies guys - yes head or block are the 2 most probably (and typically most horrifying!) causes... I've got my fingers crossed for a plumbing issues though! c

Hey everyone! I'm a long time Scooby owner (on number 3 now), first time joining a forum and i have a question.... no amount of googling can show me a thing.... I bought a 2010 STI Cosworth just before Christmas 2012 and have gone though 5.5 litres of oil during that time only covering 1500 miles or so. It's done 28,500 miles and been impeccably serviced but. I had it in for a service last week and engine oil was found in the coolant tank next to the rad. LOTS of oil. Not emulsified or anything - nice clean thick black engine oil coating the whole of the inside of the tank, including the inside of the cap! Doesn't look like a head gasket issue and it's running sweet as (off the road now of course!). It's going in next week and should be covered by the warranty but i'm worried this could be major, major and can't find any reports of problems with the block or anything..... has anyone else heard of anything similar? Gutted cos I'm in love with that car. Cheers all 8o) C
