Hi. I have a C3 Aircross Flair, 1.2 petrol, 110hp, registered in February 2021. In recent days, on three occasions when starting the car the engine has turned over much longer than usual, and sounds slightly 'feeble'. On one of the start ups the engine started as normal, but there was a slight squealing/metal noise just before the engine fired up. Other times, it starts as usual. In the last month the car has had a major service, but this issue only started in the last week. I have also had the timing belt changed as a precaution in the last month. Any advice on what may be the problem would be greatly appreciated. I don't want to get a new battery fitted only to find that isn't the problem, although I'm unsure what else the problem could be (no car knowledge!).
