Why doesn't the heater work on my Ford Fiesta?
I've started having issues with manual heating on my 2011 Ford Fiesta.
The manual heating blower on level 1,2,3 does not work at all (neither cold and hot air blowing) but it works on level 4. I would appreciate any advice on the cause of the problem and approximate costs of repair?

Failed heater motor blower, possibly because of water ingress. DO NOT SIMPLY REPLACE THE HEATER RESISTOR OR YOU COULD CAUSE A VAUXHALL ZAFIRA TYPE FIRE.

When I take my 2010 Ford Fiesta 1.4 TDCI onto the motorway it goes into limp mode. I have checked the engine and found a lot of carbon like soot under the airfilter box and around the back of the engine....
I have a 2010 Ford Fiesta 1.4 diesel. Recently, the low fuel light has come on, even when there's a full tank of fuel. Why is this?
