Title: SHOULD I SCRAP MY SCORP
Post by v4-max on Jun 2^nd, 2007, 8:38am

FOR 2 MONTHS I COULD ONLY GET HOT AIR FROM THE CC, TRIED ALL THE RESET PROCEDURES ETC BUT WOULD NOT HAVE IT. NEEDS THE UPGRADE APPARENTLY. CAME IN THE YARD LAST NIGHT TO FIND THE BATTERY FLAT. THE FITTER IN OUR YARD HAD TO MOVE THE CAR AND LEFT THE LIGHTS ON IN PARK. PUT CAR ON CHARGE FOR 30 MINS WITHOUT REMOVING SAID OFFENDING ITEM STARTED IT UP TO GO HOME AND GUESS WHAT ICE COLD AC BLASTING FROM THE VENTS. NOW IM ALL IN FAVOUR OF A CAR THAT FIXES IT SELF BUT IT IS ******* ANNOYING TO SAY THE LEAST. BUT UNTIL I EITHER WIN THE LOTTERY OR CAN GET SOMETHING ELSE AS FAST AND COMFORTABLE AS THE SCORP FOR NOT ALOT OF MONEY I WILL KEEP IT, AS I REALLY DO LIKE IT. I JUST WISH IT WOULD BEHAVE IT SELF. PS EXCUSE THE CAPS BUTTON LOCKED ON.

Keep it of course! How long have you had the car? I found that there was a fair period of fettling before things settled down ;D

its a 52,000 mile car. i have owned it for 10mths, in that time it has had a new windscreen, new drive belt, near side front wishbone new front brake pipes, the dipping reverse mirror has a mind of it's own, a new radio, 18" alloys, and simmo has'nt cleaned it yet. i was joking about scrapping it , i will keep it until either it or i die. 8)

I thought it was the other way around :-/

Sleek, good looking but ever so temperamental and cost a fortune :-/
