2003 Ford KA pinking when cold

Car: Ford KA
Year: 2003
Variant: A9B1
Categories: Leaks & Noises
The Ka stats ok but pinks and runs very erratically when going uphill and particularly when cold also there is a smell of petrol outside the vehicle

the problem gets better as the engine warms up but does not go away completely

Pinking is a serious issue which can have many causes,worn plugs, incorrect fueling,timming,it can cause serious engine damage ,I would first get the codes read.
