1 of these:
http://www.scoobyparts.co.uk/acatalo...B_Classic.html (select a rear one)

and then either of these (depending on how much you want to spend, they do the same thing really)

Tyres would be my 1st look, they will make a big difference and as said previous tyre pressures, once there then look into other parts,
