Dunno if it is a coincidence but I tried a tank of Optimax a month back. Up until then I hadnt any problems starting but after filling with Optimax, the starting-up was very unreliable. I reverted back to 95RON and the starting up was ok again. I dont know if its down to dodgy ignition...

Tried that Turtle Wax Bug & Tar remover? The gloss may have come off...Ive found that splatted flies seems to have taken away the gloss on parts of the bonnet. I can see the effects under artificial light more than anything. Better get rid of the big bird sh*te from the middle of my bonnet as...

All Dealers are as bad as each other. About a year a go, took my Mrss Fiesta 1.3 into Dixons Ford (in Bury) for its 30K service. Travelling back up the M67 (pretty steep hill), giving it a good throttling, and lost all power in 4th gear. Later found out they had only gone an put Mondeo Zetec...

Hi all, new here although I have been stalking around this forum as a guest for a while....Add me to the list of the dodgy morning starts. Ive also found that sometimes I can start it 1st time in the morning to move it out of the garage (before putting the house alarm on), turn off the ignition...
