Default Misses surprised me

So i sold my old scooby with no engine to a friend. Later regretted it and felt lost. garage was empty, even tho it hadnt moved in 3 years it was still my car.

So it got towed away and friend fitted an engine and got it mot'd taxed etc

Misses then arranged to buy it back and park it back in garage on the sly.

Made out someone was hanging around in bottom of garden to make me go down to garage where i found item from the garage in alley.

Panicing run back to house for gate keys to get into alley and on my run back down garden saw the silver shine of my scoobys spoiler through garage rear window, she had set it up with help from my mate and my carwas back all running

Time to get it ship shape.

Needs some tlc, 3 error codes come up. 23 24 and 33. drives great untill boost, fitted new maf but no joy. gonna take dump valve off etc and see how it goes, only diff from how it was is turbo, had a vf22 but now has td04.

dunno if any local guys are good at these diagnostic things.

used to run simtek mafless, duno if that makes diff.

gonna enjoy tinkering again tho

Nice story, she sounds like a keeper so get the ring on her finger!!! Hope you get the Scoob running right soon.
I wish my Mrs would do the same with my old RS2000 drop snoot I foolishly sold 14 years ago

lol, your all mad, we are engaged, been together 10 yrs and have a 3 yr old and one on way. so the smashing will have to wait. haha

anyone know anything about speed sensor 2 error and if simtek ecu uses one, thinking it might have been disconnected when ecu installed, and now old ecu isnt getting a signal
