This one was a bit of a surprise!!

[@clawrence6190]

Love my Duster. It’s the face-lifted model, bought new last year, and I’m very pleased with it. Everyone mentions the scratchy plastics - yes, there are, but how often do you drive round scratching the plastic? I decided I’d rather save many thousands of £££ over the equivalent Audi and get a Duster regardless. It’s really nice to drive, wireless AirPlay, all round reversing cameras, cruise control, speed limiter, and for the price it’s amazing value. Three friends have Dusters too, and they have found them reliable and easy to drive. Mine gets a fair bit of off road work up the farm tracks and across fields, and handles it all admirably. Lots of boot space for animal feed, hay and the occasional orphaned lamb! I ran Audis for 22 years but am just as happy with my cheap Duster.

[@pit_stop77]

I feel the same about my stepway. Its a cracker.

[@alisoncarr7153]

Petrol Ped did a review on the Duster a couple of days ago and rated it very highly. Lots of people in his comments said the same. I didn’t know Renault make them. Cars are getting too expensive for ordinary people but this seems like excellent value for money

[@DarkReaper-or9el]

Couldn't you got like a cheap toyota corolla would've probably been better off with that or a low spec captur or kajar

[@stepheng8779]

That Duster, absolutely perfect car. Most comfortable vehicle I've been in, got a wrecked back & I can go any distance in the Duster. Get one of the after market fitted camp beds/kitchen for the back & you're sorted 👍 Modern day People's car.

I love my Duster - goes well sips diesel and recently got 4 new tyres fitted and that transformed the ride/handling - its on 82k miles too. If the light on the dash is the spanner it means an oil service is due thats all

[@christopherheritage5651]

JAMES!!!!! welcome to the world of 2 wheels. You will have a blast mate. If I'm ever down your way on a 2 wheel holiday, I will definitely pop in to say hello. Keep us up to date with it all mate.

Bought a new bog standard 1.0tce Duster nearly 3yrs ago. No frills very basic interior but simply one of the best cars I've driven. Bang for buck you won't buy better.

I had a Dyane that I hand painted in desert cam back in the day - no issues could leave it anywhere. Looking at the few survivors now I'd expect I couldn't just abandon it now as it would be a theft magnet

Great cars Dusters - I had the later (current) model for a few years and really enjoyed it. My brother in law has it now and he loves it too - will probably keep it for years.......

[@gwengo4167]

I was gonna say, mobility scooter 🤣🤣👍🏻

[@juliandone15]

I've got the Duster 4x4..... it replaced my Landrover and I love it. I've had it 5 years now and I'd have another. It's not got the Landrovers towing capacity but it's far cheaper to run and it's great off road with the right tyres 115k miles now (my Jag has 160k)

[@roystonvehicles9129]

It's o2 sensor bud, it always is on old fiestas, check live data to see if its got voltage, it'll just come back on. Tbh I'd have chucked one in, 10 mins, quick mask up, blag some base coat and lacquer on, 1295 it.

[@stevie007]

Hi James, really enjoyed your get-together with Joe from Shifting Metal at the auction the other day !!! he is a nice guy and has started to do a lot of charity auctions like yourself 👌👌

[@01matthewc]

The 07 reg Fiesta, you can tell by looking at the back of it (and the fact it's an 07 reg) that it's the facelifted model, but the front bumper, headlights and fog light are that from a pre face-lift (2002- 2005) model.

[@ChopsGarage]

[@novicetheaf]

[@roystonvehicles9129]

Front end on that duster looks very bright, hope you've hpi,d it mate, tbh it looks like the wrong white, if you blow some of the correct colour to bridge the wing and the door it will help mask it, fade it into the door and wing.

[@markcherriman6136]

It certainly looks a different shade of white.

[@roystonvehicles9129]

@@markcherriman6136 yes it looks it.

[@joshua6244]

Many "home traders" have been caught out. If the painter buys cars, does them up and sells them at a profit, he becomes a trader as far as HMRC is concerned and as far as Trading Standards are concerned. Apart from having to pay tax on profits, he must do his best to verify cars' mileages and he is subject to consumer law on any cars he sells in the same way as any other trader. The fact that he isn't doing it through his painting business doesn't alter this.

So the Fiesta fault was the heater circuit on the pre cat O2 sensor. You could have run the O2 sensor test that was on that hand held topdon.

Hope it's was cheap enough mate, off colour front and mil light on, if it was a sub sale I've have scanned it first, tbh I'd not have gone for it as front ends a bit too obvious, as you know you don't want mil lights on diesels, let's hope it's just a glow plug (?)
