Stalling at junctions. 
A very common problem on the Fiesta but easily cured and no setting up required afterwards.

Over revving. 
Another common problem but slightly trickier to cure the the concern above but well within the capabilities of most people.

Loud tappet noise. 
The tappets on this slightly outdated engine tend to be a bit noisy, however, if you feel they are too noisy then adjust them with our "easy to adjust method" and if the problem still occurs we have the answer.

Knocking noise from dash area.

Blower inop. 
If the blower inop on settings 1,2,3 and is accompanied with a burning smell, find out how to cure it and what is needed. A fairly simple task and shouldn't take too long to do.

Heater inop. 
If the heater remain on hot or cold a few checks can be made to isolate the faulty component. A common problem and easily cured. We can talk you through the whole process.

Brake fluid loss. 
Brake fluid should be checked on a regular basis and if you find it is low we can tell you the common problems and the likely causes. Work on brakes should only be attempted by competent persons.

Poor running / lack of power / white smoke from exhaust.
We have had a few cases of the above symptoms and we have managed to cure the problem without the need to replace expensive components.

Poor Steering action.
On classic fiesta the steering may exhibit poor action whereby the steering will not centralize or will feel tight in certain places. This isn't as bad as it may seem and can easily be cured, just a few tools and a little effort and it'll be as good as new.
