Installing Rear Speakers 1.4Tdci Zetec

02 April 2012 - 08:44 AM

Hey guys,

I know my car has rear speaker grills but no actual speakers behind them, I removed the rear door cards on both sides and was surprised to find there is absolutely zero wiring for rear speakers whatsoever. The space is completely empty, and I really wanted to install some rear speakers... (And yes there is a fader option on my stereo)

Am I going to have to go through the ball ache of running wires all through the car to get to the rear doors, or am I missing something? :(

Thanks in advance (:

When To Change Gear In 1.4 Tdci? Also Clutch Tapping Issue

09 March 2012 - 09:56 AM

Hi guys,

New to the forums, only just signed up as this is the best looking Ford forum I found

Basically I've just bought a 58 plate Fiesta 5 door 1.4 TDCi, and it's great so far... it was used with only 17,000 miles on the clock and immaculate condition due to being used on the disabled motability scheme.

Usually I figure out when to change gear in a new car by listening or feeling the feedback from the engine, but this car seems to be overly smooth, in the sense that I don't get any feedback at low revs to let me know if I'm hurting the engine, when would you guys advise is the minimum revs to pull away or change gear? I'm not an eco-freak, but I drive 140 miles every day for work so I need to be saving as much money as possible.

Also with that question out the way, the only other one that I have is that when I depress my foot on the clutch pedal and the car is stationary or almost stationary, the clutch pedal taps very noticeably on my foot... and it's VERY irritating, is this a problem that needs to get fixed?

I bought this car after just selling a 60 plate Peugeot 207 1.4 HDi that turned out to be the worst car I've ever owned, problem after problem... but it had a light telling you when to change up and the engine also gave immediate feedback if it didn't like the revs you were pulling so in terms of 'figuring it out' it made things easier.

Well thanks in advance guys, hope to hear from you soon as I'm going on a night shift tonight and this'll be my first long drive in the new Fiesta (:
