• Ford Fiesta (1995 - 1999) - Cam belt Change costs 4 Jan 2010 (Forum)
  I had the cambelt changed on my 1997 1.25 16v Zetec engined Fiesta by a small local French garage, billed for 2.5 hrs labour (total 110?). Has anybody got the book time? I thought that the book time was 3.5 hrs (with P/S), or is my memory failing? Rhetorical question, I know it is! A good

• Any takers for written assignments? 5 Oct 2009 (Forum)
  and not missing the meaning of the question. As at college topic titles though, that you have to think about to answer. Say, 250 words (in effect just a summary, as it`s for a forum) I seem to remember for me 250 words was a sheet of A4 - in the long hand of those pre typing days. How about a list
• Filth beyond belief - descending gaga to cylinders 16 Aug 2009 (Forum)
  Straight down the throats of those once pristine inlet tracts - and into the cylinders as gritty grinding paste for the bores and rings. That`s the EGR. Or rather `the facilitator of filth` I`ve just blanked off the EGR on the 1.9D (as in tech) But woa.. what wet oily filth has been descending

• Baked on bugs > best remedy 10 Jun 2009 (Forum)
  I?m sure this will have been covered before, so apologies for any previous. Having travelled on a long hot trip about a week ago when it was hot, I?m still left with some of the baked-on remains of bugs. ( even after lots of rain. ) It?s a black car so they seem to show. I?ve tried hot water
• Ford Fiesta (1995 - 1999) - 97 1.25 replacing drop links 7 Jun 2009 (Forum)
  it is hexagonal all the way around. Most spanners are at least 5 mm or thicker. Therefore do not fit. Searched online for thin spanners and found nothing. Other than machining an old spanner (which I cannot do), as anyone managed to undo these drop links and with what? Thanks! S.

  I posted a while back regarding the possible need for a small runaround and was looking at a Mk1 Focus hatchback or Fiesta.

• Thoughts on DRLs (Day Running Lights) 3 Apr 2009 (Forum)
  quite nicely, though there fitment to my car was purely incidental. I noticed Fiat 500's, and many Volvo's & BMW's, and of course all those Audi led ones. Mind a lot of the Beemers seem to drive with lights on in daytime. I think they just like to pose with those "angel eyes" lights.
• Warranty Direct -no pairs exclusion 31 Mar 2009 (Forum)
  Had recent f/n/s coil spring failure; no problem said W/D, get it done. My Vx garage and Vx themselves, strongly recommend doing both sides [the springs from Vx are only supplied in pairs, perhaps to reinforce this message]. The broken spring had also ruined a 620-mile-old tyre. W/D said ' we
• Sad number plate fiddling. 19 Mar 2009 (Forum)
  Why? Why bother to put that yellow/white/black bolt just *there* so that your number plate has your initials, or something that? Why bother to hack the "4" about, so that it's distorted and looks like an A? Change "5" into "S"? This after dropping the boy off at school this morning, & looking
