Jim H Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Which engine is it for? Pictures would be useful for the guide too. Also as this is a guide, should this (and your other guides) have been posted in the 'Fiesta Guides' sub-section to this forum? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're too late to the party 🤣 I said that a couple of days ago. Apparently according to Super Mod Alex the guide section of the forum is no longer used and can't be posted to anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford Fiesta Zetec JA8 1.25 duratec 16v 08-13 Yeah to be honest pictures would be ideal. Problem is I've made all of these guides way after the fact. I made all of these repairs etc weeks/months ago. They will probably remain rudimentary for that reason. Although I do try to include the finer details like torque spec etc. I feel my guides would be good to accompany relevant youtube videos 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
