Fiesta Mk 7 Tdci Zetec S Storage Compartments??

Featured Replies

Hi all first post and just picked up my new TDCI Zetec S after trading in my Renault Megane.

Ive had a quick look inside the car but compared to the Megane it seems very light in storage compartments. Can squeeze a few bits in the glove box but are there any others???

As im a complete fool who has a habit at pulling at things that shouldnt be pulled and tend to go SNAP i didnt want to risk it.

Ive noticed there looks like something under the steering wheel and also to the right of the steering wheel under where you switch the lights on.But if they are for storage do you pull them up,down or press them??

Help a fool out

Cheers

The one to the right of the steering wheel is storage, but it was very stiff to start with on mine. Pull down on the little tab with one finger. I think the drivers knee protection airbag is under the steering wheel, so don't think there's any storage there.

There's also the 'secret hole' ;) compartment between the stereo and the heater controls. Search for 'secret hole' on here for more info.

Other than that it's just door pockets, glovebox, and little pockets/cup holders in the centre console.

Thanks for that.

Yeah i read up on the secret hole but didnt think its worth causing any damage to a new car especially for such a tiny compartment.

Guess i will just have to minimise what i carry in the car.Shame the glovebox is so tiny. Barely fit my manual and sat nav in it.

The Megane was insane for compartments. There were 2 decent sized secret ones under the driver and passengers feet that lifted up. The glovebox was HUGE and you could fit a box with sandwiches in and a couple of bottles of drink. There was also a vent you could open and close for aircon to cool things. Then the armrest in the centre and also an armrest on each door had a lift up compartment too as well as side pockets.

Stored more !Removed! than in my house hahaha
