    Hi All,

    I bought a 2002 1.6 petrol Ford Focus Zetec with only 29K miles off an elderly neighbour earlier this year. Nice tight car & driving grand except there's an issue starting. It cranks for at least 6 or 7 seconds before starting. Strong smell of fuel after starting but once started it drives perfectly. Heavy on petrol though. Has the same issue hot or cold. He said it's been this way for a long time & his mechanic changed "quite a bit". It passed the NCT only 300miles ago but not sure how the emissions will be this time. Any ideas?

    Thanks,

    T.
