Double clutch
@jonnygti4 жыл бұрын
All my cars have been like this, like when I’m reversing into my driveway, I pull up in second usually as my drive is around a corner, then if I was to dip the clutch and stop, keep the clutch pressed in and go straight into reverse, it will either just not go in, or it’ll go in but it won’t go in smoothly. So what I do is, go off the clutch completely, then press the clutch down again, and then change to reverse, goes in smoothly then.

Good little cars very reliable I had the 1.25 zetec few years never had any mechanic problems & now I'm loving my st150, biggest downfall to these cars is the tilt handle's always break on the seats to let people in the back, plenty of seats on ebay but they all have the same problem they are broken & wasting time as they eventually break any ways as manufacturer FORD produced faulty tilt handles for every seat lol other than that great cars even st150 are very cheap I think thats the best thing about these cars cheap & reliable fuel isn't good on the st150 but it is what it is a pocket rocket

I mean, if you pick up a low mileage (sub 90k miles) 1.4 TDCi Fiesta (I have an 08 one) they're great as a first car. Economical, easy to work on and get to grips with working on your own cars/vehicles. Around town on my TDCi I get around 48 MPG, on a run 75 MPG, Combined is around 58-62 MPG depending on driving style and how much you razz it.

Hopefully someone reading this can help? I have this exact same car (same colour and 05 plate etc but not this actual car 😂) I had it in couple of days ago for a wheel bearing replacement, when i picked car up from garage i drove around a mile before realising the engine light was on, speedometer was staying at 0 mph and the mileage wasn't increasing. I took a video of this and sent it to the garage who basically told me it was nothing to do with them as they only changed the bearing 🤔 My car has never had this before and was completely fine prior to taking it to get bearing done so doubt this is just a coincidence that it's happened in the few hours the garage had my car? Somebody has since told me that in these cars the speedo sensor is linked to the wheel bearing but can't find any kind of info online. It's going back into another garage in a few days but just looking for any info on what this could be. Seriously pi**ed off with initial garage though 🤬
@gazza9919 Жыл бұрын
That sounds like a crap situation mate. It will more than likely just be a sensor but it's the fact that they straight up dented all responsibility. It's a crazy world and I think things like this are why a lot of people are taking it upon themselves to try and do the job themselves.
@bonnetdedouche Жыл бұрын
@@gazza9919 Yeah was thinking a sensor myself, but to me it's obvious the garage have messed up somewhere and just havn't bothered mentioning it to me. They have obviously took the car for a drive after doing the bearing just to check it was ok etc so they must have noticed the management light was on and speedo not moving. The worst thing is i should have learned from previous experience using this garage as around 8 years ago i had a clio in for a ball joint replacement and within an hour of getting the car back the air bag light was on, and windows stopped working 😂 then the next day i had another issue with front wheel (can't remember what that issue was though) Only took it back this time coz i thought surely after 8 years they are not cowboys anymore (and i couldn't get it done anywhere else quicker than they could do it). Never again though
