Just Got My First Fiesta!

So last week I got my first fiesta, a mk 6.5 zetec in black.

It has a few little issues with it but nothing mechanical, it had an issue with the side lights coming on when breaking which was a single filament bulb when a duel was needed)

Both pull handles on the seats have broken off, but that's fixed with a couple of zip ties!

Spray nosel was broken so that's been replaced.

No key for the central locking, so I have ordered a new one, though I was worried as I have read you can no longer link the central locking using the ignition method (turn the key 1 to 2 three times wait for the beep and press a button on the fob ) but it worked for me!

And the air con needed a regassing... But all fixed.. At 68,000 miles for 1300, it was a steal!

I should add, this is my very first car!

    That's a nice first car mate.

    As a bonus, it has factory tinted rear windows! The engine runs pretty sweet too.

    The fuel gauge level something to be desired, I can park up with 3/4 and by morning have a full tank!

    My Ka MK1 used to have a furl gauge that changed as you went round corners. For first cars, you just don't mind little flaws!
