Default Ford Fiesta Finesse Start Problem - CLutch must be in.
Hiya,

Sorry if this is a really stupid question but I just bought an X reg fiesta and when I go to start it, if I don't have the clutch in, in makes an horrendous grinding sound. If the clutch is in it starts fine. Does anyone know what this is and how serious a problem it is?

Thanks very much.
