Thank you, ill have a look in the menu tomorrow and see if i can reset it.

Magenta, yes a coolant temp gague. I noticed this straight away and commented to the dealer.

I have had a little drive today and its much nippier than my 1.4, looking forward to giving it a run up the motorway!

The gears will take some getting used to, as when i changed to 4th at 30(ish) as habbit the engine was laboured. I also discovered the chnge gear arrow - its now in the trip computer display, not a light on the dash as in mine. It recommends changing to 4th at nearly 40 and 5th at 50... unlike mine which recommends chaning to 5th at about 38... But otherthan this not really much different to mine for feel.

Ill ask if i can take some pics but not sure if ill get time until after xmas now.

Thanks for your help as always.

Sorry been offline as had a few days away.

Thanks for the OIl burner, the person telling her is hopefully confused with the diesel! We know the mpgs in the book are not realistic, and certainly not with my 1.4 fiesta which is 7 months old now. I also reckon the tests in labs dont take temperature into consideration, the cold in the last few weeks has really reduced my mpg

thanks fasty, she test drove it at the weekend (unfortunatly iwas away so couldnt play) and she said it was very nippy, im not sure which of the 1 litre engines it was though. The stop start was odd - I'll reserve judgment until i have driven her car.

I hadnt thought of the aircon and heater issues though I'll mention that to her.

She bought it anyway not sure of the discout until i speak to her, but i know she ordered it in candy blue and it should be here byt he end of the month

hi,

can't say i have noticed anything untoward at 60 +, and I've done a fair few of the 1500 on mways and major roads so i should have picked up on anything obvious.  To be honest I'm still getting used to it, but I am loving it in comparison to my old 53 reg!

I am most likely going to get it checked - its free so can't hurt, (as long as they dont sting me with anything).   I was mainly wondering what they do as its a faff to get from the garage to work...

As Cxolin mentioned, at least it shows i am trying to look after the car

Not critical at all tbh. The engines are designed to work with certain tolerances and it's the reason they have a rev limiter. They will also have been tested in the factory, most likely to the red line. It still would be worth taking it easy whilst you adapt the the new car though.

Thanks for that, i do a lot of mway driving, but I try to stick to the speed limits so hopefully my engine shouldnt  be killed off in the first few weeks.
