Black MK6 Fiesta Zetec 1.4

[oJNAo]

Never thought I'd have a Ford as I planned on buying an S14 after my Corsa B but I got stung with 6 points and being a 21 year old male I bit the bullet and bought a non-modified car so my insurance wouldn't break my bank and went travelling last summer with the money I saved up for my S14 

Here's the first car I owned and molested which has now been sold to a Vauxhall enthusiast who intends to put a C20LET (2.0litre Turbo) engine in it which I am very jealous of.

My Vauxhall Corsa B 1.4 8v Breeze Edition

 

Here's my new car I bought yesterday; MK6 Fiesta Zetec 1.4 in black with 74k, full history and only 2 owners from new with the original paperwork when it was bought.

Drove home from Birmingham fine and gave it a bit of welly on some A roads and went to sleep happy I had finally sorted my car situation.

At 5am when I went to start the car to go to work it started up fine and then dropped revs and stalled doing this numerous times till I gave up and went back to sleep (which ***** work off)

Had a crack at it this afternoon and cleaned up the battery and found it only stalls on idle so kept it revving above 1k for a while and it stayed alive so hoping it's just some carbon build up in the throttle body as it starts up fine on a warm engine although it idles at around 900 revs. 

I'll probably do a full service on it with new HT leads etc. for peace of mind as I do long journeys at least twice a month, and will do the timing belt within the next 10k as it hasn't been done yet.

I'm keen to tint the windows and will fit a new stereo and the sub I had in my last car.

I'm no mechanic but any advice and recommendations on what parts to get, how to run a Fiesta and any common problems they have or could pop up, I'm happy to accept 

Also keen to find some more alloys for it as the rear passenger side one has a slight dent so if people are selling or know of anyone selling decent ones I'm interested!
