Hi, my friend has got a 2003 semi automatic Fiesta, which seems to be leaking brake/ clutch fluid.

The car keeps stalling and the brakes often feel spongey. She rang a mechanic who told her she needs the clutch control unit replacing at a cost of £800.00 without even an inspection! But this does not seem to make sense to us as why is it losing fluid??? The car also only has 26000 miles on the clock but the interior is in quite a state with the steering wheel peeling and the paint worn away from the window buttons. My same age fiesta with almost 67000 is still quite immaculate so we was wondering what the max milage displayed on the clock was maybe it has gone round. There seems to be enough space to disply more than 100000 but cant be sure with the digi clock. She only bought it three months ago and now the dealer wont do anything for her.

Couldn't imagine a car of that age having paint peeling etc. Don't no about the max miles but might have been wound back a few miles, don't no if its possible on a car of 2003. Just a suggestion
