Ford Fiesta screeches and fails to start

Car: Ford Fiesta
Variant: 1.25 Petrol Zetec 3dr
Model Year: 2008

Only recently has this started. When trying to start the car it screeches and fails to start. Sometimes it can take as many as five attempts to get the car started. Some mornings it will start up immediately with no issue.

I have taken the car to two garages, one an approved Ford garage who found no issues or problem with the car, is there any solution to this issue

Can you help?

Cheers

Hard to say without hearing noise. Could be starter motor or belt screech to name a couple of possible causes .
