I have just required a Fiesta Finesse 5 door W reg, but with no driver`s handbook. Could someone please tell me what should appear on the right-hand side of the instrument dashboard panel. On the left is the Petrol gauge; in the centre is the speedometer in miles and kilometres and on the right-hand side is the skeleton drawing of the car. What should show up on this panel as it doesn`t seem to do anything whether the lights are on or not? Please, any help appreciated. Bob

Thats just a blank panel, because lower spec models didn't have the rev-counter (on the left hand side) on higher spec models, there would be a temp guage and the fuel guage on the right hand side.

Hope this helps, ill get a picture of my clocks tomorow if your still interested.

Thanks, James. It was very kind of you to answer. I would love a picture if it`s no trouble. If this part of the panel doesn`t show anything, then where is the temperature gauge? How will I know if the engine is operating Ok and not overheating. Sorry to burden you with this but as you can imagine I am not mechanically minded. Thanks again, Bob

Your car doesn't have a dash temperature guage in that case, but I think it should have a temperature warning light (which will only come on in the event of the engine exceeding a certain temperature) You should be able to see it light up when you put the ignition on position 2 before you start the car. Possible a thermometer with some wavey lines under it?

Don't worry about it! Any more questions just fire away

Thank you again, James. I`ll look out for that when I next try the car out. Once again, Thanks for taking the time out to answer my queries. Happy New Year to you, Bob
