After some fairly major works over the winter she's back ready for the road. After transporting from Fife home to Campbeltown. She's had new sills, welding and paintwork to engine bay areas, new bushes, full timing belt with water pump, headlight restoration, rear interior put back in...

Not been on here much so here is a few recent ones of mine. Hoping to sort some of the paint issues in the spring which seem to be appearing.

Morning All, This may have been discussed before but I'm kinda stumped with this one. About 2 weeks ago I had new pads and discs fitted to the rear of my ph1 172. Recently the ABS and SERV light has been on. The fault first of all pointed to the O/S/R ABS ring which I changed again as I thought...

Cheers! I find it a bit loud personally but it still goes well. My Gran lives in Baillieston was on my way back from there!

Yeah it was me. Was in the city for a few days. What were you in mate?

Chap called Dean bought it, pretty sure he is on here too!

Not posted on here for a while so heres a few recent ones of my flamer.

Yeah I have the other one. It doesn't get spotted much as I live in the middle of nowhere. This is the longest I've ever kept a car, great little things.

And ironically there was two there!

Yes I'll still be there. And I would imagine you know what car I am bringing, as it would seem most of you want to buy it lol.

Haha yeah, its a stunning place to live but takes ages to get anywhere. Can usually get to The Rest in 2 hours so that may well be a shout.

I know its a few weeks yet but any ideas on a meeting point? Got a few coming up from this neck of the woods, one passenger for the whole thing and a few just for the show/non stand etc. just to see what sort of time to leave and things?

Yeah sounds good to me! I will probably just meet yous in Inverary if you decide to go there or Tyndrum as I'm coming from the West (Campbeltown).

Likewise, depending on the decided route I could well tag along.

Sorry think I've ruled this out this year too. Still busy with the new house and its very far for me now.

John, Sorry for the delay. I've Paypal'd you over £20.00 for me and a passenger. Not been on here much recently but if you need anything else let me know. Cheers.

No misfire at all nope. Don't think it's an old code as it was reset after an injector failure last year. Light came on randomly and failed mot emissions.

Thanks for the replies folks. I'm guessing the above wont do the cat any good either? Strange how its running completely fine.

I have no idea. The workshop at work did it.

I have had knock sensor suggested by Dave. Seems like a shout the more I look into it?

I am indeed, were changed at the last major service about 10k ago.

Ruled that out unfortunately but thanks anyway :) surely that would cause bad running anyway?

Anyone else had this problem? My ph1 172 has the EML light displayed. Is showing catastrophic misfire as the diagnostic fault but is running spot on. Both lambda sensors have been replaced but the fault will not clear. Car isn't used daily but I haven't noticed it using more fuel than normal...

Sounds good, don't mind going as far as Glasgow! :P

Sorry guys I'm too far away for meets during the week now. Glasgow is a 6 hour round trip.

Knockhill is a fair point, it is where most meets happen as there is usually an event on. I may be speaking for myself but sitting in a car park has not got quite the same appeal.....must be getting old! We did have a Glasgow meet at Xcape but that must be coming on for 18 months ago......and...

Maybe i didnt word my reply well. All i meant was defining "borders" or "areas" by major cities is useless. Far better going for districts like previously discussed like SE, NW etc. I dont mind travelling to Glasgow and beyond once and a while. :)

LOL! Nah I'm still a sensible heed! Unless at the Nurburgring as proven. I'd be happy to lead any driving meets however I don't have the best sense of direction so be prepared for a few wrong turnings. In my opinion Scotland is too vast to split by the major cities. For example, I am about to...

Alistair, Campbeltown, ph1 172 and mk4 dCi.

Still an improvement on some shows last year haha!
