ford fiesta mk2

Featured Replies

Hi all. Up for grabs is my daily driver, my mk2 fiesta. This has been a great little car which has taken me to work and back, and also to london and back on many occasions.

Since I have owned the car I have modified it for its daily use. These mods include:

Heated front seats (only ebay heated pads). These have been great on the cold early mornings! I have hard wired them into a switch on the dash board. The front seats are recaros and have seat covers on them. The recaros are in very good condition. They also adjust\recline with no problems.

The stereo I installed myself. There is a pioneer head unit running front (vibe) and rear (edge) components. There is a sub in the boot as you can see from the pictures. All cables are fused and in conduit (if necessary) and all the joints are soldered. (the alternator is standard, so on tick over I have never given the stereo a good pumping although the battery copes fine. The sub is only a 250watt RMS 10" sub so not OTT at all. I also rewired the alternator wiring cutting out the fuse-link and wiring in a fuse therefore having no reduction on the cable from the alternator to the battery). The rear speakers are behind the rear panels hidden as i didnt want to cut into the parcel shelf.

The side lights (front and rear), brake lights and indicators are all LED. The indicators have the correct resistors soldered in so that they flash at the correct intervals (and in heat shrink). The dash lamps are white LED as well as the lamp for the heater control. I have also put 501 LED bulbs in the front foot well and white LED strips in the back which is a small but effective light. (again all hard wired in and fused with a switch in the dashboard)

I put the mud flaps on 1, because I like the look of them and 2, because they keep the car alot cleaner with the miles I was doing.

There is a central alarm system wired into the car (not by me). The passenger door has never opened on the button, but it will lock the car. I have had a look at it but I couldnt work it out. To be honest I never used the alarm a great deal as I didnt trust it 100%. The current draw when the alarm is active was 0.14 amps which in my eyes was a bit high, so i didnt want to risk leaving it active for too long. Drivers side is fine so always good when popping to the shops quick.

Engine is standard apart from earth upgrades and the alternator wiring. I have only just given it a full service (oil, filter, air filter, leads, cap, rotor arm and ignition coil). Its at just under 68000 at the moment but it will rise.

The exhaust is a stainless steel back box professionally fitted up in Birmingham at MIJ exhausts. I have the receipt for this.

There is history to this car, I have reciepts for all the servicing I have done.

The rear arches have recently been treated. Also the seals have been stone chipped and the rear boot (mark 1) has been sprayed and fitted.

As I said this has been a great car and I am in no great rush to sell it as its still getting me to work and back.

MOT ends June 17th. Tax ends July 2013.

Bad bits. Wheels do rub as the arches haven't been rolled for the wider pepperpots. I never have anyone in the back so it hasn't bothered me. Also the mudflaps do rub, but again nothing that has worried me. There is a knock in the front at times. It has got any better or worse for a while. I did have the garage look at it but they couldnt spot anything after checking it out.

When you pull away on a gradient, the car does rumble. This has been since having new gear box mounts fitted, I believe they are still being worn in to absorb the vibrations.

The front n/s wing has started to rust through. So has the front bumper and a few speckles under the bumper. The worse area of rust is where the front o/s wing joins underneath the indicator

I apologise if I have missed anything. Please call for more information. I am a shift worker so bare with me if I do not answer straight away.

Thanks for looking. Sam 07824552213
