hi peeps

hi guys and gals , new to the forum just bought a ph2 172 today for winter , its in burnt orange colour which was the reason i went for this one as its different colour to most out there , its got 70k on the clock , just needs the off headlamp due to yellow mist i think you call it, and a misfire at idle ! it drives fine and no lack of power , its had spark plugs and new coil pack by the last owner so not sure what that is but will need to look into it but if you lot have any ideas please do share, i bought the car for winter as i ride a bike the rest of the year but really enjoyed the car so far so maybe a car to keep if all goes well , well thats enough of me waffling on just wanted to say hi

Welcome mate, Got any pics of the 172

And the 'yellow misting' you've described you can sort DIY, there is a guide on here somewhere, basically get some very fine wet and dry, some polish/scratch remover and alot of elbow grease
