Hello, need some help with a starting problem on my 172. The car never starts first time anymore, always taking two or three turns of the key before the engine finally turns over and then it runs badly for the first few minutes. A friend said it could be the starter motor but that sounds ok...

thanks for the pics fellas, quite like the ph1 interior.

just looking for some pictures of interiors from the 172 models, wanna see which dash i like best lol. Mick

the couple id seen done looked great at first, but after a couple of weeks it just looked dull. I suppose it depends on the painter and the condition of the car really.

blow overs are pants, i know a couple of painters who wont even bother with em
