People,
I've just picked up a 172 (was supposed to be a 182 - long story!!)....
It's a really nice, 30k late 04 and overall I'm really impressed with it...
It does have a few little bits that need attention, so I thought I ask those in the know....historical fixes and all that!!
Main rattle is driving me insance, already!!.....seems to be coming from the drivers door frame/b-pillar area.....window up or down...almost sounds like it occurs under chassis load as opposed to just general road chatter....friend of a friend has the same issue.......any news/history of fixing this area?
Next thing is the drivers height adjust - doesn't seem to do anything!! Lever just flops about.....I've no idea where I'm sitting in the height range either!!
Is this a common/cheap fix?
Last thing is the fan noise coming from the head console - sounds like a nylon bearing........can this be stripped out and lubed?
Thanks in advance all, once these bits are done she'll be a minter!!
Ta!
