The Fiestas leather option now includes heated seats on fresh factory orders

Darn it - the one thing I really wish my car had

About time - that's why I didn't get Leather.

I heard it was cars built from 30th august...

That's right 30th Aug but most factory orders are getting built after then anyway now

I heard it was cars built from 30th august...

Factory is closed for 4 weeks summer shutdown 2 aug to 30 aug

Can't be, my next MK7 fiesta gets built on 27th august...

Should have been available from launch, cheers for the info adzmcp

1. I might have the dates slightly wrong(likely as I have used previous shutdown data)

2. Is it a valencia build?

3. The "build date" is not always totally accurate,depending if you use the shell build date or the date the shell hits the fitting line.

Firstly you have to press the panels in the press shop

Then you have to weld the pressings together to make the shell

Then you have to paint the shell ,let it dry,put the second coat on,let it dry,add the third coat (If metalic),let it dry add the fourth coat (If magenta) let it dry.

The painted shell is then placed in a huge warehouse until it is called by production.

You then move the shell to the production line where it spends up to 36 hours being fitted out with all the bits .

If you can find the photos of the old rover longbridge factory after it closed there are hundreds of pre built shells,all painted,on racks awaiting call down,quite an impressive ,but strange sight if you are not familiar with car production.

Is your car due for gate release before 30 august to get the marketing allowance?

Dave

Dave is right. Ford have been holding back gate releasing.fiestas before 30th Aug because any thing released after then is on Blue Tag pricing so Ford may build it before 30th but it will not be gate released till after 30th to then be blue tag.

I received my car 17 July.... ordered end Jan...

I went for the leather pack .. I've had a.look under my seats and they are wired up. There looks like a heating element in them too... just no switch, which is an easy fix really :-)

My car was delayed as Ford revised spec during order.

It meant I got the stage v engine, esp and I'm guessing heated leather seats without the on / off switch...

Anyone else found an element in their leather ?

hi, any pics?

i think ive got the wiring and elements there but im not sure for certain

Sorry to revise a dead topic but can anyone confirm what they fit the elements too is it just if you choose the leather option, iv got non leather but has anyone got a picture so i can see if i have any under my seats, not that id connect them for fire risk!

Also heated seats are now a stand alone option on Titanium. For £150. So you don't have to have leather to get heated seats now

I had heated seat on my old Rover 75, mint in this weather.

Hi guys,

just wondering if anyone has managed to get any pics of the elements?

i havnt looked in mine yet but just wondering what they look like so i know what im loking for.. and how do you go about putting the switch in for them if they are.

also.. does anybody know if they can be added to the seats if they are not there? like can you go back to ford to have it fitted?

Cheers
