Question Checking used Scooby, anyone lend a hand?

Right, I'm useless at spotting overspray, bent panels & the like so would appreciate any help, whether it be advice on here or practical help inc a ride in a Noble to see a few motors! Anyone who can spot a lemon & has a few hours spare tomorrow qualifies! If nowt else 2 peeps can play bad cop good cop with a motor trader!
Thx in adv.
Steve

What sort of time you thinking Steve As long as I'm home for 4-ish to prepare for work, and I'm not up at the crack of dawn (ie 12-3 would suit me best), I may be available.

Cool

Thanks Guys, going to see 'it' in the afternoon, so with my baby sitting duties done I'm looking at 1.30pm set off to Harrogate. Might be pushing it a bit to get back by 4 though.
Rob, needing a few more seats, less power & more driven wheels!

As you didn't answer I'll take it you're not going. I can't make it anyway as I need to get some sleep before tonights shift as I've had earache since going swimming yesterday

Give me a shout anytime midweek though and I'll gladly accompany you

Just discovered it's a 165ps, 2.5 litre!
It should be white not silver as I've had to nickname it 'The Glacier' as in 'I've seen faster glaciers'.
Legacy estate btw (sorry Chris! Although you might be able to enlighten me as to what the gearbox hi/lo function actually does other than make it more noisy on low, it deffo doesn't go faster, also keep using the shifter as the handbrake as it's exactly where the handbrake should be - doh!).
A few toys in it to while away the time as you approach 51.....52.....53......54......55.......56.......57 ........58.........59............60 (for full effect read outloud very slowly) mph & watch the average mpg computer hover round 24 (WTF!).
