Focus Zetec 1.6 cold start problems
Car failing to start every morning - but starts very very easily when jump leads are used. Also starts fine when warm. Car is being used every day and battery is only a year old. Is there anything that can be draining battery overnight - have already checked boot light and glove compartment lights are going out ok.Looking for some help.

I was having dreadful problems with my year old battery. until I replaced it with fords silver cadmium from the dealer. Check the type of battery you have , it does state in the hand book only silver cadmium should be used . hope this helps
