My girlfriend has a ford KA 53 plate and since we bought it, it has had a whining noise. Before we bought the car it stood still for about 2-4 months. Its a whining noise when you start the car and when you drive around. It sounds like a belt is abit dodgy. Any ideas??

Hiya,
My Ford Ka was making whining noies - turned out that the Power Steering Fluid needed to be topped up - seems it's a common problem for the power steering to leak a bit. Hope this helps!
