Hi!

:)

Hello from a newbie, I only found this place by Googling for a solution to the fact that my know-it-all bro was messing about under the bonnet of my lovely Fiesta, and now the CD won't work.

I see that there's a sticky thread for re-set codes, so I'll be posting on that soon, but I thought it would be cheeky to just lumber in, ask for help and then bugger off again, so I'll stick around and be a bit of a member.

Is it all testosterone charged in here, or will a dumb blonde get taken seriously? ;) :D

    Awwww, thanks for the welcome everybody!

    Really nice of you all, and nice to know that it's not all petrol-head chaps (not that there's anything wrong with petrol-head chaps, some of my best friends are P-H C's lol)

    Oooh I don't know, but the silly !Removed! disconnected the battery, and now the CD doesn't work.

    Ho-hum :rolleyes:

    :lol:

    Anyway, I'm going to read a few threads later - it's nice to find some Ford fans - I learnt to drive in a Focus, and both my cars since then have been Fiesta's.

    My first car was an H-reg 1.4 ghia, it was a super car, then I bought my 02 freestyle from new, and it's lovely as well.
