  9. well done, good choice! haha! that'll be the oil pick-up....mines got a mark on the inside of the sump where it hit, had a look and was no damage so put it all back together - no probs at all!

  11. tbh yea ive never had a rust problem, and ive had 9 fiestas lol- get bored easily! 4 of which were zetec s' and one mk5 black. and i must say, i never had a problem.....my starter motor fell off once at brands hatch lol but prob has more to do with me :-* i bought 1 zetec s for 750 cos the bottom end had gone.....£250 brand new from ford! but i put the puma in it lol then tracked it many many times. so technically, no problems! i love em! the only thing ive heard of rust problems, and i kno the ka's are awful. welded so many and there the same chassis so assume fiestas are the same...

  13. fingers crossed it does then! put them straight in the bin and it'll sit luuuurvly been to see it yet?
  14. has it still got helper springs?
  15. my mrs is under 5ft, puma is a big no cos even i get annoyed with its tiny rear quaters.....and shes had a lupo now for a year and a half, apart from a leaky selector rod seal and the clutch pedal actually falling off (its not a nice job, the steering colomn has to come out!) its been ok - tho shes never really liked it. one of her favourite cars is the mk5 fiesta zetec s. but yea if aint looked after rust is an issue.....mk6 fiestas a sh*t end of. the only way on this planet i would recomend an austin or rover mini to anyone is if theyve driven one......think it puts most people off lol thats
  16. everyone is wrong :-p its cool as flip! if it were me tho id have to fiddle with the ride height, down a touch on the front and sort the back, or is it on bags? very cool even better with an rs4 lump!
  17. bodge speaks sense. u say its dripping in pic 3, if its dripping from here............. ..........it could be a bit of a bigger job. anywhere else is fine lol. there a bit of oil down the block i see so could just be oil cooler.....
  18. might give it a go......anyone else going? time?
  19. if it were me..................id deffo buy it lol rocker gasket, u can def do that - loads of info on here prob. sump, u can do that, i did mine in the car park at work on lunch hour!
  20. is it a club meet or summit mate?
  21. hmmmm lookin at them again, id budget for a sump and a new oil pick up just incase...............and did u say oil is leaking out of that gap in pic 3?
  22. 1 - yea agree with craggsy, and maybe new breather on pic 1 too? (sack it off tho cos its expensive, get one of them pipercross filters or summit...think im right?) 2 - yea, thats pretty normal lol they sit low. although that looks pretty dented too. 3 - thats fine imo, its jus a cover. bash it back in place, or its only to 10mm bolts that hold it on, take it of and flatten it out any more pics?
