    stupid ford fiesta

    My housemates got a ford fiesta, everytime you try and start it first time it refuses to fire and pops slightly. As soon as you turn the engine over again it fires immediately. This irritates me alot in the morning specially because its loud and she goes to work mostly at 6am i was wondering if anyone owned a 1.25 fiesta before or knows what it could be.

    I was initially thinking timing, maybe coil packs leads or spark plugs but she said she had it serviced about 7 months ago and its been going on that long its just bugging me as i said id have a look at it. Any other ideas?

    i really hope they have better engines than the focus model. My sister has the ecotec focus and has had nothing but problems with it since purchasing.

    That's one of the joys of owning a Ford, you get to know how good the coffee is at the service department.

    I can't really talk about Fiats, I've only owned 2. The family on the other hand have had about 8 Fords between now and me being sat in a child seat as a kid.
    Many a childhood memory involves a Ford stealership
