Greggs and back about five times at less than 5,000 revs should do it. :D
And now the tax has gone down on them !! :bigsm: :bigsm: :bigsm: More money towards the 172

Hi Guys,
It's update time!
Changed the rings and went to Gregs and back 5 times ( slightly more if I'm honest ) :D
Nothing changed! I was at my wits end so booked it in at Bedlams as I didn't have a clue!
Turned out it was a dodgy exhaust , new Sito + fitted and jobs a goodun :lol:
The baffle had collapsed inside restricting the gas flow. The old exhaust was less than a year old so didn't even expect it could be that! :D
Just got back from the Solent Cougars do at the weekend, over 100 miles each way, scoot did 60 to 65 all the way there and back!
Thanks for all the help and abuse :lol:
