"Forget that it's a Fiesta"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Knocking noises from the suspension.

Odometer blanks out for 2 seconds occasionally.

Front fog lights letting in water.

General comments?

Fantastic handling warm hatch, easily defeats a VTR, throttle response is amazing, loads of power < 4000 for a 16v.

Odd how all the comments on this site appear to indicate the same set of problems with the Zetec-S.

MPG surprisingly good, 38 on the motorway if you drive sensibly, 1.0 Saxo only used to do 42 at the same speed.

No-one'll believe me that it's that good, all they see is the Fiesta name.

The same knocking noises from the back suspension. what is the reason?

Could well be the anti-roll bar bushes.

Yes this is the suspension bushes as I had this problem and got it sorted by ford!
