bub2006 Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 Fiesta isn't as pearly as first though but hopefully it can be rectified or I'll sell it on to someone with more skills than i Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bub2006 Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 Front valance is corroded but not gone through,a good clean and stone chip will sort that,drivers wing has rust bubble and a hole at the bottom,rear arches have a couple of tiny bubbles which need addressing and I'm unsure if I'm being paranoid are a part of the flooring feels soft.

bub2006 Posted July 14, 2017 Author Share Posted July 14, 2017 Right,at some point this afternoon I plan on sorting some photos of the scabby bits of the fiesta. Does anyone know what size speakers are in these? Passenger side front and rear sound really tinny and not as loud as the other side. Checked the wiring behind and all is well there. I know the rear is smaller than the front though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theorganist Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 That's a posh Fiesta, I have the basic 1.1i which doesn't even have a rear windscreen wiper! Looks nice, like the colour. They seem to be getting more interest now. I have the catalyst for a 1.1i if you want or need it (for free)? I have been trying to sell it on ebay as I bought it for mine (which I am still waiting to get fixed up and mot'd) but found a complete exhaust in the end.

I've not seen many lx trims with this equipment either. I've got to replace speakers as they are knackered and I keep forgetting to post crusty bits! Thanks cheggers, hope you OK too.

Tamworthbay Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 An angry mob has duly been despatched down Brian Clough way I once had a long chat with Brian Clough - on Brian Clough way! (It was the plain old A52 then) I worked in the shell garage when I did my A levels and he came in for petrol. He was top bloke and happily chatted to a star struck 17 yr old for over ten minutes. A really friendly 'grandad' sort of guy. A real local hero for both Derby and Nottingham.

New POD Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Sunny Alvaston Bub. Just trying to convince my wife I (we) need to buy a house in Alvaston. Saw this http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-60756427.html (now sstc) which has 4 bedrooms. And might be able to rent out 3 of them to other contractors at Raynesway. http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-65982584.html or this which would be a lot less and has 2 rooms to rent out (the lounge being one of them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bub2006 Posted July 16, 2017 Author Share Posted July 16, 2017 Yes, console under the stereo, boot release to the left of the gearstick. On the subject of the boot release, I've had a look and can't see any broken wires but every so often the boot release and rear wash wipe don't work.

If it does a quick spray of the old electrical connectors cleaner usually does the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
