Helloooo Everybody!!! Just bought a fiesta rst last week!!! have wanted one for years after my first Fiesta mk3 1.4cvh, and now can just afford the insurance Then i had a mk5 Escort 1.6, then/now 2000 Saxo VTR with the big wheels, big brakes, morette headlamp conversion, cage, s/s duplex exhaust, lowered, big MTX sound system, cobra sidewinders etc etc... im using this till the fiesta is ready.Dont want to sell it cause its a lovely wee car but needs must!! Fiesta's getting a new panel welded in and sprayed at the dreaded petrol cap then a good clean inside n out! i took it to my local garage and he said it was a solid wee car underneath etc and its had a few new parts fitted. the heater only blows cold and when he checked it out he found there was no thermostat in it!! the temp needle never goes over 1/4... surely this cant be good for it?? the oil cant be getting up to it optimum working temp fast enough?? Anyway my fingers are getting sore and am sure you'll all be bored of reading this already!! Hahaha!!
