No body???
Someone must have experienced this!
My first thought is that the CL is not activating the mechanism in the door? But I have no idea why it would randomly cut out....
Re: The PH1 172 Aprreciation Thread.
Just the one, better ones will be added once I've done a few bits, cleaned it and got Rob, (TheEvilGiraffe) to take some perty pictures!
Looks quite good that mate, lowering it will make the wheels look a lot better.
I wouldnt say people don't like it mate, its just constructive criticism!
I'll buy the spoiler pending pics, thats for sure.
And as a geusture of good will.... If you put up a few of the bits you want to sell I could give you a rough idea of what they go for...
Ok, so the new car has a few niggles (most of which have developed within the first 24 hours of my ownership (doh)) and I do realise this is my second "help me" thread tonight....
Symptoms are as follows,
Locked the car last night, got in it this morning, mrs couldnt get in passenger door...
I love you all very much, and Steve, I've had the car a day, I don't know my way around the engine!!! LOL!
I'll give all that a go when I get a chance, I hope it isnt the cable, although Mr Gray says its easy to do! lol!
Now to post a new thread with a different problem...
Passenger door can...
Just bought myself a lovely ph1, but when coming to a stop it more often than not sticks at around 2k rmp idle?
This can be solved by blipping the throttle when it happens, and then it settles back down? Is something sticking? Possible air leak has been mentioned, but wouldn't this be...
lol :o
Well hopefully I should make it to the next football sesh, picked up the 172 tonight so have something fun to travel in ;) (could be the one after though due to funds)
Good result mate! Loud? Quick? How you finding it to drive?
Did you buy it off steve per chance?
If it was you at the oval, you followed me down from blackfen to the oval last saturday, I went into lessness, you parked halfway down?
Car is finally upgraded now, so should be much more recognisable ;)
Cheers mate, told ya it was a good one I was getting ;) I shoulda popped by really being so close, but I think 300+ miles was enough tbh!
I was gonna say, I thought you was from around this way down down where they speak strange! Hope to see ya at the next meet then mate!
Cheers mate, needs...
Cheers mate, so much better than the 1.2 :D
I was REALLY unsure of them until I got down there, was going to do them silver as soon as I got them, but my god they look good in the flesh!!!
Yeah man, took long enough, lol!
These weren't "pics" as such, just a couple of shots off my phone...
Was that you I drove past today then? Just outside Dan's place?
Someone in a silver 182/172... lol!
Glad there's so much love for this car! Having a sport is easy, much more effort needed to get a 1.2 loved!
Lol, cheers mate
The paint work is brilliant, I never knew it would be this good, but its in really good nick!
As for the wheel, I really wasnt sure, and was gonna have them done silver, but I think they've grown on me and will carry on like this for a while!
Trust me mate, its worth the...
Cheers mate, its not just one he was selling, he used to own it, its lovely tbh!!
Lunch was bloody lovely mate, (we went to the willy wicket? I think) good to meet you, sorry I didnt have more to say, was a very busy/rushed day and I was like a kid at Christmas!
What was you actually there...
I went through there tonight! Missed me though didnt ya!
Were you the guy who was at the oval last saturday mate? I was in my pov spec 1.2 at the time!
In Bristol I met this funny talking chap and we chatted for some time... (nice chap I must say)
He then took a load of my money and the keys to my old car with a smile on his face :(
Thankfully he had something for me in return......
I am in love....
Full spec....
Smoothed bonnet...
Looks AMAZING mate, you've done a brilliant job with that spoiler too! (I hope you updated the other thread)
Recieved the wheel today, thank you so much mate, really appreciated!!!
I actually love this! lol! I'm just about to buy a ph1 but I think in the summer I might buy a shitter and use it as a car to learn on. Have a bit of a project going with my mates or something. lol!
