First sorry to Racer, I see from doing a search on number 389, that he was very close to getting this one, and I believe I picked him at the post.

As for me well I am very excited about picking this one up shortly, and it'll be my 2nd Scooby. I use to own an STI Type Uk 2003, but sold it about 4 years ago now due to not using a car at all and ongoing costs, along with the fact I modified it a lot and was getting scared the police or insurance companies might not like my complete de cat even though it was all declared. Any ideas what the rules are nowadays on decats, believe they are still illegal as it would normally fail an MOT emmissions test.

Anyway can't wait to get my hands on the WR1 and don't plan any modifications other than maybe a dump valve, although I see from reading the latest views these aren't necessaryily in fashion at the moment!! I'll definately be along to a number of meets at some point. Use to regularly attend Scoobynet meets, and take the mickey out of Tiny and his constantly modified Scooby!!!

So I have just driven 389 back from the Midlands and I now remember exactly why I love the Scooby so much!! Big Smile on my face!

Dealer was very good, car has been cleaned inside and out, but there is one bug as with all new car purchases. This one is that the rear windows don't seem to want to work. Have ensured the window isolation switch on the drivers panel is off as the passenger one works but the back don't seem to want to drop either by my control or the rear controls. Any ideas, am I missing some safety device?

Other than that she looks very pretty and drives like a dream, all the accessories are with the car except the plaque which someone removed!!

Any help on the windows would be appreciated!!

Cheers
Chris

Do they work from there own switch,
if not check fuse, relay or plug connectors/wiring

Nop not working on any switches, had a look for the fuses but they are not identified in the owners manual unless I'm being blind. Any ideas.

Only other issue is the front driver/fog lamps aren't working either, checked fuse and found the value in the wrong hole with the next one along, but after changing them around still no lights. I'm assuming bulbs.

Luckily the car needs its MOT next month so will get them to check whilst its in.

Driving lamps only work when on main bean and switch by right knee is on.

I've checked manual aswell, no fuses :?

Relay :?

Not sure will have a look.

Tried driving lights with main beam on also and no joy, probably just a dodgy connection somewhere, MOT due next month so will get it in for a once over to be sure.

Maybe both motors are fooked in the back, Can you check if there's power going to the rear motors with a multimeter. If there is then the motors will need replaced,
