Hi all,

I've just bought my Fiesta end of January as a second car for everyday use, commuting mainly - it's Moondust Silver 1.8 TDi 2001/X.

Anyway, are there any common problems to watch for or advice I need about this model, what should it do on average to the gallon and are parts relatively easy to get hold of and cheap etc?

cheers

Andrea.

    Yippeeeeeee!! :D

    And hello Andrea, and no, haven't got a clue to the answer to the mpg or known faults but being a Ford, parts should be easy to source and cheap with it.

    Thanks everyone. Well run this car now for 4 weeks and so far so good, needs cam belt changing soon (at 100,000 miles), presumably this will have to be done at a garage, unless me and the hubby can sort it out ourselves :rolleyes: At min we reckon the car doing around 45 to gallon round York and surrounding area, but Motorways shud be more, a bit of a nuisance if i get stuck in city traffic though! Still, its doing the job of commuting well, and a diesel, the main reason i bought it. Paid £700 for it (ebay) with a year's MOT so can't grumble - seen a few going for a lot more.

    Take care all

    Andrea ;)
