Personally I never liked the fiesta after the Mk2. My mum had a 1990 mk3 1.1 LX from new and it was a bit of a boat, under powered with a wheezy engine and not a patch on the 1991 1.5 GLX Mitsubishi Colt that I bought new for the same money a year later. In fact my dad was so impressed with the colt he bought a Lancer a couple of years later that was effectively a bigger colt with a larger liftback. I then had a mk4 diesel for work and the interior was naff and you needed ear defenders to drive it on the motorway it was that loud inside... You got out after a long journey with your ears ringing. As for the latest mk 6 and mk7s they had a horrible interior and very poor rear visibility so we're, in my view inherently dangerous with far better options out there from other manufacturers... And that's before you even get into the 1.0 ecoboost lack of reliability.

If it were me I'd clean them up and run sealant round them and under the lip
-
Thought you might have given the wheels a quick clean up and spray before getting the tyres fitted but looks like you didn't have time. Looking good though.
-
That looks very much like the battery has had it

Is the lever you mention actually a push button? I seem to recall something similar on a Fiesta years ago where you had to press a locking button before the crank would turn.

Absolute cracking find and it looks like it'll come up well...
-
Some cracking cars and photos there
-
Might be worth checking the mounting plates / ball fittings for the tailgate struts as they have been known to leak through the mounting screws on other cars
-
So will the manual choke
-
Ouch... A our 50bhp then... Still a cracking find though, pretty robust and at 37k only just run in
-
Wow that's an amazing find! Takes me back to the early 90s when my mate had an impreza (non turbo sport but still a cracking car at the time) Presumably 1.2 fwd given no button on the gearstick?
-
Justy!!! The subaru one before they borrowed the old swift body?? What state is it in
-
Personally I'd love it to be a flop to force them to change their design language to something more coherent and classy... But it will probably sell well to the usual BMW 'look at me' brigade...
-
The front end / grille has been nicked from a Dodge SUV and squashed... as for the back it seems to be off a previous gen Civic R. Horrid regardless and very, very poor design (in fact I wouldn't even call it 'designed...' But then Domagoj Dukec has said in the past he doesn't really care what people think of his designs... so he clearly holds his customer base in high regard - NOT!
-
On our Kodiaq the leak we had was from the windscreen wiper seal - where it joins the rear hatch glass, so it might be worth checking that as well and whether there is any water behind the hatch trim.
-
Boo hiss... Come on be a grass and tell us
-
Oh come on... Spill the beans and don't keep us in suspense

That looks like a long life exhaust... https://www.longlife.co.uk/ Or one from exhaustsuk http://exhaustsuk.com/index.php

Extend the key and split the case of the fob using a coin or screwdriver and pop in a new battery. Simple If the fob doesn't work after that re-synch it by pressing a button and then unlocking the door with the key within a minute.

I have falken azenis fk510 on the Kodiaqs and zeix 310 on the swift and so far haven't been able to fault them. They've proved quiet, stable and grippy in all weathers
-
Your not wrong there. I keep looking at used Kodiaqs as I still fancy an SEL instead of our SE but for the same reg, or older and similar mileage the used prices are still about a third higher if not more than we paid just over a year ago I know I thought we got a bargain at the time but current prices seem to still be mad.

I wod be thinking loose connection somewhere and the starter button would be my first port of call. I know it sounds daft but sometimes just the inclination of it could affect whether a good contact is made within it.
