why not get a puma engine? i know they fit, and are more more powerful than the 1.25 zetec. 3 to choose from too (1.4, 1.6 or 1.7)

How did you kill an engine with the wrong spark plugs???
Posted By: Anonymous Re: the fiesta is dead - 29th Jun 2004 1:19pm
the wrong spark plug were longer than the right ones which the pistons hit as u can tell by the state of the spark plugs and bits of metal into the engine and 3 pistons with big cracks in pretty easy frown

halfords are useless i ordered wheels and they waited till the day i was going to collect the wheels to tell me i could be waitin 4 months and i could still not have the alloys after id waited 4 wks. so i ordered different wheels and the same happened again i wanted 2 cancel when i was on holiday but he told me i would have 2 come 2 the store. the day i got back they came but id sold the car and were funny with me. it nt right they can s*it on the customer but u try 2 get ur money honestly and they turn their backs a*se holes

dont listen to him tease

take the kit off an put the standard one back on, flog/scrap your car an get another 1.3 or whatever your insurance allow's you, but make sure its a 3 door, their cheap as anything just make sure its got a good bit of history behind it and has had the cambelt done, obviously the less miles its done the better, oh and look for rust around rear arches and petrol cap. not much to remember is there laugh
