My 1996 Ford Fiesta 1.3 makes a loud screeching sound occasionally when I try to start it. It only makes this noise when it doesn't start, when it does start it makes no screeching noise and starts perfectly.
I've changed the starter motor 3 times once with a new ring gear too(very costly) but the problem came back each time after a few weeks.
Sometimes it only does it once other times it's 3 ,4, even 5 times in a row before starting.
With other peoples help we think the problem could be some sort of muck or possibly clutch dust making the starter stick. It seems to be better after a lot of dry weather but thats just my feeling.
I'd really like to know if theres anyone out there whos had the same problem and fixed it.
