1990 Ford Fiesta Ghia review from UK and Ireland
"Would steer clear of Fiestas next time"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced alternator.
Replaced brakes.
Replaced exhaust.
Emission control design.
Replaced sump.
Engine wears easily and quickly.
Clutch was replaced.
Gearbox needed a new reverse gear.
General comments?
The engine has worn which causes oil to enter the carb and stall the engine. This took several mechanics and a long time to identify.
The rear arch next to the fuel line is also rusted badly.
