Re: Wheel bolt torque specs.

I think its 135NM for a 2015 Fiesta, it should be in the Owners Manual but if you haven't got one you can access online manuals at http://secure.ford.co.uk/OwnerServices/Owners-Manual/

Re: Rear reflectors not working

I think you'll find only one has ever lit up - It's the fog light and there's only one on the off-side (drivers side) of the car

Re: 2008 Mk7 Fiesta Push Button Start - Will not start

Have you checked the service book, was it stamped in Jan 2016?

Re: Back to the future

They're quite different and which is best for you depends on your driving style in my opinion. You need to test drive them both. I'd had a 1.6TDCi econetic for 4 years, I averaged 70.9mpg over 84,000 miles and I loved the relaxed driving style, rarely took it above 2000 rpm. My mileage has reduced c...

Tow Bar Electrics - Plug & Play?

Hi, I'm thinking of changing my 2012 Titanium Econetic for a new Titanium or Titanium X.

Re: mudflaps

I don't recall having to drill anything - new screws go where there are existing screws holding the wheel arch lining in place. Also see youtube

Re: Fiesta headlights very poor projecting ahead problems

Is it they are not bright enough or they are not pointing far enough ahead?

If it's the distance they are pointing ahead, have you tried adjusting the level using the outer ring of the fog lamp switch to make sure they are set to the highest setting?
