My Mrs has a Ford Street Ka with a 1.6 Duratec engine.
This morning it wouldn't start, just a strange screeching noise when turning the key, sounded like it was coming from the starter motor.
An hour later, once some of the ice had melted it started first turn of the key without problems.
Anyone have any idea what could have caused it? Maybe the starter on the way out? Or would it be that the battery wasn't pushing out enough power for the cold started and once it was a bit warmer the power was sufficient?
She has just come back from a weekend in Newcastle where she got there and back without any problems.
And yes it is definitely her car, I am not a secret hairdresser :p
