YorkshireLass Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 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.

YorkshireLass Posted February 28, 2009 Author Share Posted February 28, 2009 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 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 ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
