Hey all. Just a quick one. .the thottle is a bit stiff on the 172ph1, others i have driven are not so stiff, any way to make it smoother. It just resists a bit I have checked the throttle body, and that seems ok. (as it you can move it by hand with no 'over' resistence) Cheers

the temp will make a difference.. and the grade of petrol etc. and as others have stated.. its ps not bhp..

hi yep i have bens clio now, well the wife does. Just needs the new bearing on the front OS, (as we knew) and the ball joint (bottom arm) on the NS, and the tracking obviouly re-done.. so no biggy really. Aprt from that its in top nick, and the wife is well chuffed with it (even though shes...

Hold on.. if its locked then they must have a key. You taken it anywhere and given anyone the key recently (cloned)? Also if no alarm went off, the only other is that they (as someone pointed out) used a truck to lift it. Once a uncle of a friend had a new P1 (a few years ago now), all big and...

I had a look at a couple this weekend, what noise do they make on idle.. is sounded like a normal engine, but with a spool type (whissshin) noise.. ? Is that right?

cool.. good to hear.. my current debate is a 172 (v1) or a older williams... hmmmm

Cheers.. i will look for the fsh etc.. just wondered if there were any 'specifics' to look for.. suspension bushes etc?.. odd knocking noises on full lock? that kind of thing.

Cheers will have a look if I still have that issue lying around.. unless someone has a scan?
