Thanks for the reply. The engine management light (without the STOP) is not on this time. The one in the pic is the only one on. When it came on last week it had the engine management like as well and the fault report I was given just states that it was the throttle peddle. I was told it I...

The middle orange heart beat style one... What does it mean? I don't have a hand book with the car but last week this came on and I lost most of the response from the throttle. Took it into the local and the fault code was the throttle peddle was gone (ph2 172). That was replaced and all...

Just had the same issue, warning light on the dash and it felt like the peddle wasn't doing much. Throttle peddle had to be replaced. Was told there's two tracks inside and there was a brake in one of them so I was only getting about 75% from it. I was charged £55 for a new one and an hour...

Is there a way of telling if it has been replaced? Does the replacement catch look different?

Yup, another v6 thread. :( Just fitted the Espace airbox into the ph2. Damn its a squeeze. I've had to cut an inch n half off the stock bend to jam the box in. Due to this it joins at the corrugated bit and while its a damn tight fit seemed to work. It replaced a pipercross cone filter that...

02 ~60k on the clock. The seats are doing well, with slight bobbling appearing but the springs in the drives seat are beginning to go. I sit quite upright but I can feel myself sinking further than I used to right at the back of the seat... and no I haven't gained weight :rasp:

Hi all, Two things that don’t seem to be problems *touch wood* but I want a second opinion. :D I've had the 172 for a couple weeks now and tanked up twice. First time I was just below the red line on the fuel gauge and only 34ish litres went in. Second time I was about half...

Bell was the cheapest I found. One thing to bear in mind with any (or the ones I checked) company is most charge you extra for paying monthly. "Admin charges". Bell charge 8.5% extra over paying for a full year.

Internet forums is serious business.

Welcome... looks like we are taking over here :D

Black 172 ph2

Living in the south side these days. *gets paranoid about posting details about where the new toy is* :rasp:

Sorry to crash the thread but you're first pic (Image025-1.jpg), what is that metal thing you're holding? I've seen it in a few pics... I dont have one in my engine bay. 😧

Damn those were fast replies :P Edinburgh... I see you're from Glasgow... Too soon for the soap comments? ;) har har

Hi all. Heard about this place ages ago and since I've just bought a 172 thought I'd stop by :cool: Its had a hard life but it's *touch wood* working even with a bit of fatigue and random loose connectors. Needs a good wash though then I'll get some pics up. I've seen there's a few Scottish...
