Hey folks,
this is my first post on here, so hello to you all! :-D
I've just bought myself a 172 as a second car and there are a few issues that I hope some of you can help with?
The biggest problem is a thumping sound when I change gear. It comes from under the car . . . I was told it may be just an engine mount, but I was also told it may be several other things, including possibly needing a new gearbox???? I took it to a garage today, but they we're very vague to say the least . . .
The other thing I've noticed is that the gear stick squeeks when changing gear! I've owned a lot of cars in my time, but never heard anything like this! Anyone else found this happening on their cars?
The speedo is a bit dodgy between gears too, but I read on here that it's probably down to a sensor that needs replacing so I'll look into that . . .
It's a great car for the money and good fun to drive, but just need advice on the above really. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Andy.
