  • What`s happened to Two Stroke Developmen 4 Nov 2002 (Forum)
    I know the barrier in the past was possibly horrendous exhaust emissions, but I would have thought that with modern fuel injection systems & computerised engine management, these problems could be resolved!! I believe I read that Ford were running an experimental engine in a Fiesta, but don`t know what came of this. Any info would be appreciated

  • Ford KA, KA2, KA3 (1996 - 2008) - Ford Ka as a cheap runaround 24 Apr 2009 (Forum)
    Having reconsidered budgets regarding purchase price and running costs I was thinking of the Ka. I'd never previously considered a Ka but a friend has just bought an S Reg. I was amazed at just how simple and basic it looked. It was strangely refreshing to see bare metal and basic controls. It even looks vaguely repairable by a DIY mechanic compared to my Pug 406!

  • Ford Fiesta - condensation in fiesta headlight 29 Feb 2016 (Forum)
    Hi all, just a quick query, if i may?. My daughter has a standard 2005 Fiesta 1.25 Zetec and the O/S headlamp is always full of condensation, the N/S is fine. It's becoming a pain in the butt, as in the past three weeks she's had to have two blown bulbs replaced. The car was dealer bought a few months back, sadly now out of warranty, although all the lights were fine when she bought it.

  • Ford Focus (1998 - 2004) - 00 1.6 How unround should tyres be for rejection 14 Mar 2009 (Forum)
    Just had 4 new cheapie Nexem tyres - had to take back for rebalancing but still a very slight judder at motorway speeds. Took front wheels off to have a look at weights...60g on O/S and a massive 80g on N/S - a 25g weight banged onto edge of rim and 55g of flat weights stuck on at same point of circumference. It's not the [alloy] wheel as there was no judder before and only small weights needed for perfect smoothness.
  • Ford Fiesta (1995 - 1999) - 1.25 zetec engine Refit... N reg to an R reg. 18 Dec 2007 (Forum)
    Hi all. my fiesta engine recently gave up on me and blew a piston. i have had the enigine taken out and i have aquired what i thought was the same engine from another fiesta, however there are parts on it that arent on my original engine. i have a fiesta zetec s 1.25. the new engine has the same zetec s 1.25 badge on it and i assumed it was the same... my car is a 98R and the engine was taken from a N reg. is there anything that was taken off the zetec 1.25 in the time between these two cars and will it still fit,,, its on its mounts and mostly connected but theres a pipe coming out the manifold thats not on my original engine and i dont know where to connect it?!?
