[QUOTE="suffolksmallholder, post: 4584084, member: 1498"] My daughter has a Scooby as her main car. It's used for off-road trips quite often. Not Land Rover type of trails, just dirt roads & these get muddy in the wet season. (Central Australia) She's asked for my opinion on a major service which is due now; New clutch, one leaking head gasket & several steering/suspension ball joints. Have this work done or sell? There's probably timing belts too. Now I know the vehicle is completely rust free so there's no issue as in the UK with rotting & unavailable parts or second-hand items shipped in from OZ! I'm tempted to say keep it & get it repaired/overhauled but is this a British thing? Being an 03 model they are known for head gasket issues whereas the 05 model had this sorted. I haven't said keep it yet so I'm asking for opinions please. [USER=71668]@Farmer Roy[/USER] OK she's 2500k's from you but you have similar terrain. SS [/QUOTE]
