so if i were to drive it then it would just make loads of noise? would it affect anything to do with the timing etc? what i mean is would i cause anymore damage by driving it? cheers
cheers dave but the fella i know in my mot test station had a 172 a couple of years ago, it went like mine but then his cambelt etc ended in dissaster, he said not to drive it. to be honest i really carnt afford any more damage doing to it.
cheers for the reply jack, yeah im seriously thinking about it but its just i need an mot by the 19th december + tax too. looking over a grand to get it 100%, im working 7days a week at mo as now i got extra travel costs to contend with just to get to work...

cheers lemonnobby, ive got to get her mot'd by mid december and tax too. ive also got a knocking noise from what i would suspect arb bushes or maybe a mount somewhere when i pull away quickly. i think its going to be a hell of an expensive few weeks. fantastic car when it goes but ive already...
hi everybody, got home earlier after a short journey from work (5 miles) and on putting my 172 in the garage i could hear a loud ticking/rattling noise. on investigation the noise does go after i rev the car up but once back to idle the noise returns. sounds near top right (cambelt end) of...
