The car overheated when stationary or in slow traffic. It was fine on high speed motorway and country roads. The cause was quite simply a faulty radiator fan.

Re: Help please! Fiesta wont start!

Re: Mk7 standard tyres and GAP

Quite often these insurances are not quite as good as they seem. Wheels which are alloy are £190 from Fords and tyres are can be £75 if you shop around. what is the tyre size you have. you only have to look at your own car. Easier than asking the forum.

Re: Air bag removal

How did you get on. I know that the steering wheel leather has to be cut to get the steering wheel off. Don't know much about the programming. I would have thought that the programme module would be attached to the steering column and not the steering wheel.

Re: wiper blades wont fit

Sorted, I took the old adapters off the old wipers and put them on the new wipers. Simple really.

wiper blades wont fit

I purchased a new set of wiper blades which are genuine Ford but they dont fit. Are ther 2 differentt types for a 2009 fiesta. Looking from the top the new ones are rounded at the fixing point whereas my originals are squared off.
