How much is a 20-year-old Ford Fiesta worth?

"My parents have decided for health reasons to stop driving. I am trying to sell their car, what in your opinion would be a reasonable price for a Y Reg (2001) three-door Ford Fiesta? It has a 1242cc petrol engine and is in average condition, with 55,000 miles on the clock and sox months left on the MoT."
It sounds like it could be a good little runaround for someone or maybe a first car. It's probably not worth a lot, though, unfortunately. Depending on how rusty it is (Fords of this generation do like to rust) we'd recommend advertising it for between £1000 and £1500.

Replacing auxiliary drive belt on diesel Fiesta

"I have a 2001 Ford Fiesta with a 1.8 diesel engine. The auxiliary belt has snapped and I am trying to replace it. However, I'm struggling with the routing of the belt - I've got it in what looks to be the right place but the belt is far too long. Can anyone confirm the correct belt fitment."

How do I fix my overheating Ford Fiesta?

"I have had the water pump and thermostat in my 2002 Ford Fiesta replaced, but the water is over heating and coming out of the tank on top of the engine. "
Could be that the radiator fan temp sensor/sender switch is stuck and not switching on the fan. Replace it.

No. It's a completely different car.
