• Kangarooing Fiesta 1.25 Zetec 27 Sep 2006 (Forum)
  And boy do I mean kargarooing! My mum's Mk4 Fiesta 1.25 has developed a severe stutter that is akin to a switch going off and on as power is transferred to the front wheels. I think that this must be an electrical fault - is there a common zetec problem? It s a 1998 1.25 zetec LX by the way. Thanks!

• Driving in Europe 18 Apr 2006 (Forum)
  I?m about to take a few driving holidays to France and Holland and wondered if it?s still worth applying headlight adjusters? What are the chances of getting stopped if I just use the load adjuster and set it to the lowest position? It seems a bit uneconomical to have to apply fresh adjusters
