i have a problem starting my 55 plate 1.25 fiesta. when i turn the key the normal warning lights all come on but the car will not crank over. then the symbol of a car and padlock starts flashing. i try de activating it with the key but nothing happens. then after a few attemps the car starts. it will run for 30 secounds before cutting out. the symbol re appears and the car will not crank over again. anyone got any ideas.

The symbol with the padlock.sounds like its an immobiliser issue. Check in the owners handbook to confirm...
