Hi
I have a 2010 Ford Focus with a bit of a problem. The car is 2 and a half years old and is due its first major service next week. I will be mentioning the problem to the service centre but wouldnt mind a few ideas as to what could be wrong so im armes with a few facts and not 'blind' so to speak.
Basically first thing in a morning or when its been stood for a good few hours the car really struggles to 'fire up'. It can be heard turning over but takes a good 3-4 seconds before it fires. Its just the initial start as if its only stood for a while after its been run then its fine-it seems to be when its been stood and everything has been allowed to cool down.
Any ideas on what this could be? I thought maybe the battery is the obvious one but surelly this should last more than a few years.........i guess the starter motor is a possible but seems peculiar its ok after everything is warmed up??
Thanks for any replies
Regards
