I'd like some of the black 172 with silver bonnet if you have any please. Chjbeesley@gmail.com

Cheers Dave!! Have just uploaded a short video of a bit of our track time, the mic was a bit shite, think the battery in it is pretty much gone.

A few of ours

Hi all, I have recently fitted a yozzasport race exhaust on my 172. The problem I have is it sounds loud and nice at low revs under 3k, but when you put your foot down and go over 3k it sounds stock. It isn't decatted, any ideas what could be the cause or problem, could a duff cat cause bad sound?

I have my dash out and I've scratched the paint off to get a good earth. It could be down to a bad earth yes. I've just changed my battery as it was only holding 12v dead, needed about 12.4v to start. So measure what your battery is, and try some jump leads, if it still doesn't start with them...

Having the plug on wouldn't make any difference as it's just connecting the wire to pins. The resistor will get hot as current is flowing through it. You could try fitting a new plug and getting a top part of carbon canister and plugging it in.

Hmm strange, has it been stood a while? Battery voltage may be little low and be a coincidence.

Not much help mate but it could be a multitude of things. Something catching on belts, pistons, can't tell without hearing it. Take it to a garage

Yes a bad earth will cause it to not start

Yeah that batt light doesn't work when the plug is taken out of the alt, there's an issue with that wire /plug to not get the batt light with just ignition on.

Okay thanks for the replies.

Okay, the battery / stop light came on the other day, was close to home so tried to make it back, car died about 200 yards from home, alternator whining and smoking just before dying. Pushed the car back home and got a second hand "fully working alternator" . Fitted the alternator and fired the...

Okay thanks will try another.

Didn't check the heat in battery cables. Will maybe try another alt
