Have only had this car 9 months and it is doing my head in! if its not one thing its another! So far the clutch went, Power steering rack went ( really expensive) exhaust changed due to knackered, and starter motor too! Never had a car let me down this much, and its a Mark 6 fiesta with only 28,000 on clock.

i am hoping it is just a new fan belt needed and not a timing chain with tensioner!

The noise only lasts until the car warms up and then goes and it does not appear again until the next morning.

Just irritating!
