For the UK Spec do you not need to put the clutch in to start it??!?!?!?!?!

I assumed it was necessary in all specs?!

Not on my '02 model. My mate Paul's UK spec '00 model does need the clutch in to start though.

Could it be an '02 revision ?

My UK '00 doesn't need the clutch to be in, in order for it to start.

Strange! My '00 doesn't need the clutch in to start!

I was taught to dip the clutch on starting anyway, and I'm now so brainwashed I just do it automatically.

Oddly enough I was told the Fiesta had to have accelerator and clutch out to start as its diesel.
Accelerator should be out - but it works fine even if you don't put the clutch out
