can you get aftermarket adds on to bring oldish cars up to date?

i.e. fuel computers

im now used to driving new cars and there are things that will annoy me when I get the old fiesta back on the road driving to shows etc..

can anyone thing of anything else thats on newer cars and taken for granted?

Economy, build quality, ride quality, driveabilty are all taken for granted in newer cars, BUT i think new cars sort of lack the 'soul' of older cars.

re : fuel computers.


I find that most older cars have a device that tells me how much fuel is in the tank.

M Brian

my fiesta doesn't!

bit of a corner and it gives a totally different reading for about 10 mins! lol

its soooo whank of fuel I need a fuel computer to tell me how far ive got till it runs out

my rear screen works!!!




shame my rear wiper + front screen dont!!!

Shift light... I know you can get aftermarket ones for them but I find this useful sometimes
Lights on warning alarm - I know you can get these aswell.
Interior light on when ignition is turned off - taken for granted but bloody handy.
Heated Front screen - godsend in this weather!
ABS - quite handy! - wouldnt like to even attempt an aftermarket kit though.
Electric mirrors - fiesta's don't get these which is a damn shame as i've started to use these all the time!


Anyways..............Can you get aftermarket fuel computers? lol

I don't think I've ever seen an aftermarket fuel computer.
