The only problem with the car was that the rocker head gasket had failed and was leaking oil, this was easily fixed by my dad.
Nothing else is wrong.
It's a lovely little first car for me. It is a special edition model featuring power steering! Yes, power steering and dual airbags.
Has no rust on it at all, not even the rear wheel arches.
It's a joy to drive. We couldn't believe that it had power steering on it, but the old lady who owned it from new gave us the original sales brochure, which shows that it has the power steering.
Had a full service history and is immaculate inside. The only fault is the rear wiper works when it wants to?
Anyone else had this problem. My dad has put a brand new motor in, and this still has not resolved the problem.
The car still has the original spare wheel, which has never been used!
I have a similar problem with my rear wiper on a Fiesta Freestyle. I was told that the contacts for this are where the boot shuts down. Try cleaning them up and see if that solves the problem.
Your rear wiper problem is caused by a loose connection where the wiring passes through into the tailgate. Affects almost every Fiesta at this age in my experience (including mine!)
Not too difficult to fix if you're handy with a multimeter and a soldering iron.
