"Zetec-S, go get it sideways"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Knocking noise from the suspension.

Passenger window would not wind up.

General comments?

The anti-roll bar bushes had gone...

The car really flies if you push it hard but it drinks petrol on the motorway.

Good for tail happy fun in the wet! Even if the traction control is crap.

Anyone ever going make a big-bore exhaust?

Oh yeah, there is a turbo conversion...

Magnex now do an exhaust, at a tidy sum of pound notes, and yes the suspension does knock, WHY?

Only a few mod bits on the market so far, so we will have to give it 6 months or so before we get them.

Bit of a bumma really, but s@#t happens.

But what a car, I can't stop hand braking it and getting it sideways, o wot joy!

The knocking is the front anti-roll bar bushes. Get them replaced under warranty, it only takes a couple of hours.

I think you`ll find actually that the knocking that you are experiencing is coming from the passenger door. What is required to cure your poor fiesta`s unhappiness is around 4 more door gaskets to go behind the striking plate. these cost 30pence each.
