mowfiesta Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Hi all I've just purchased a 57 plate 2.0 TDCi Zetec focus and all seems well apart from the cranking speed. Not having had one before I don't know if it's normal for these but it feels like an old tractor starting, very slow and chuggy but does always start. It's almost like an old engine where the glow plugs have failed. I'm going to check voltages and earths etc but wondered if there are any common things to look out for? Thanks Mow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troy45 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 If the battery is past it's best that will affect the cranking speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowfiesta Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 Cheers, I guess a battery test is required.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
