i went to the shop last night and when i parked i noticed my tyre looked a bit underinflated so i had a look and realised it was rather spongy, took it to the garage (rather sedately) to pump it up. it only had 10psi in the tyre when i got there! i was hoping that it wasn't a fast puncture but i checked it this morning and its the same so i'm gonna have to get the wheels swapped to make it to uni which is inconvienient, so now i'm likely to be late. and out of pocket.

oh and my !Removed! back wiper blade just fell off yesterday! not a good day for the the little fiesta.

    Not to worry geezer, it's things like those that make the Mk4 so special, special in a way that only Mk4's are, I can still remember the time I had to put the spare on my old Mk4, so many happy memories :) Not to mention all those times my rear wiper kicked the bucket. It's times like those that my Mk7 just can't provide :(

    managed to get the tyre sorted for free through a family friend who runs a garage. had to run round on a rusty spare for a while though which ruined the fiesta's street cred.

    still need a back wiper though!
