Hi folks.This is a query regarding my wife's Fiesta 1.25 T reg Zetec.(I've got a Ford as well but it's a Escy Mk5 XR3I).The query relates to the Idle Conrol Valve on her Fiesta that has been proven to be faulty.I've just been delivered a replacement part using t'internet and was wondering whether there was a need for a gasket to be used as there doesn't seem to be signs of an old one when I've taken the old valve off and the new valve hasn't come with one.Any help on this matter will be appreciated,thanks very much...Gary
