phase 1 break or sell advice please

[Dapzz 172]

ok so i got a phase 1 172 and i cba with it no more so going to cut my losses and call it a day just would like some advice!!

basically it has had a new front left headlight and the bit of plastic behind the bumper has split i thought ok bad job, but when turning left at motorway speeds it snatches left then lets go again so im thinking its had a smack and something is not right.

also when driving the throttle is sticking on slightly and when putting the clutch in to stop it idles at around 3k so what would be best guys break it or sell it as it is only had it less than 2 weeks but had a frst and ploughed a fortune in that for it to never be right not fancying it again cheers again will

What miles and condition is the car genuinly in? Is it standard or modified atall?

Oh and where you based?

 

[Dapzz 172]

standard mate except a S*&t k&n induction kit as far as im aware overall tidy except bonnet and im in kent miles away from you lol

 

[Dapzz 172]

i no the throttle issue is something to do with the cable on the side the spindle stays ever so slightly open but i just cba

Why don't you at least attempt to fix it? Or at least find out the cause of the problems?

A broken Ph1 with dodgy bodywork. You'll be lucky to get a grand.

 

[Dapzz 172]

bodywork aint all that bad mate and because i cba spending money after money on cars wouldnt want the earth for it either

too far for me then! lol. How much does the car owe you? Get someone to look at it maybe? Could end up being something relatively simple needing replaced. What your describing doesnt sound like anything I've come across before though.

its the whole snatching thats annoying mate if i got 1.5k id be very happy mate if i got 1k be ok i guess

 

[Dapzz 172]

like i said its the spindle but iv tried sorting it the last 2 days taking a huge chunk out of my finger with a saw in the process worse thing is it only had the cambelt and waterpump done 3k ago which was over £600

without any kind of information.

i'd check the driveshaft that side that the car is pulling to. it was happening to me and then BOOM, cv shat itself everywhere. simple and cheap fix.

This is going to sound mad but do you sometimes park the 172 on the top of Chatham hill?
