Personally I'd sell it and get a Mk5 Zetec-S. You'd probably get some change to depending upon how old yours is which could be put towards upgrading the brakes.

Cracking little cars!

Cheers,

Paul.

Like I told the other Fiesta owner just down the page, probably the best thing you can do is uprate the standard front lower suspension bushes for uprated items. One of the few mods that will actually improve your car safety as well as it's handling and driveability. smile

:nod: Getting them done at the end of the month with the cambelt.

Quick question RE the Superflex of Polybrush, I couldn't see any on the site for a Fiesta, I think I might just give them a call. They seemed to do 4X4 / performance car ones only.

The manufacturers certainly seem to have pruned back their on-line ranges somewhat over the past year or 2. When I was after some for my XR4x4 4 or 5 years back, I phoned them up (I >think< it was Superflex) and they put me through to what turned out to be the technical director. Fortunately they were in stock, but he said that they were all pretty similar and they could supply them to fit almost anything. So it may be worth phoning to ask.

I reckon that I saved the extra money in the first 2 years or so, Sierras (and many Fords really) seem to eat TCA bushes and the money saved by not having to replace em regularly has saved me cash.

Edit: No it wasn't, it was Powerflex! D'oh *smacks forehead*
