Hi all,
I just purchased a ph1 172 and drove it home tonight,proper lively little car
Couple of concerns though...1,when i got upto 70+ on the motorway,i noticed a slight vibration through the steering wheel and also a weird noise(it sounds like a vibration noise but deeper)it's not constant,just seems to come and go at speed.I know it's not the bearings and it's not a droning noise.Tyres maybe???
2,when i stop at a junction or lights,after a couple of seconds the whole car seems to shake mildly,the idle is not hunting and the needle doesn't go up and down,the best way to describe it and don't laugh,is...imagine you were holding a big dog on a lead and someone was calling it but you were holding it back,the power is there but it's not moving...i know weird,right?? put it in gear pull away and everything is fine:S
3, the steering wheel is not perfectly straight and wonder if the tracking/balancing is out(see concern no.1) but what would cause the noise???
Apart from that,the bodywork is mint and it's been recently serviced,only 63,000 miles too
If the powers that be could shed some light on my situation,i'd be a happy chappy,thanks.
