Decided to sell my Fiesta

I cleaned out the breather pipe, got it working again, 30 miles later its blocked again. I have also replaced the fuel cap so its not that.

I am suspecting worn piston rings, on top of the fact it has a warn camshaft there is just little point on doing any work on the engine.

Rather than run into the ground I have decided because of the lack of MOT (4 months to go) I should just get shot now.

Its sad, my first car, last me just over a month. If I buy another Fiesta (I know mines been nothing but trouble but mine is the only one I have known to be like that) I could swap a lot of spares over .

 

Buy something sensible this time. I've never seen a cheap Fiesta that isn't a shed.
Buy a Micra or a Toyota Starlet. they'll never break down

 

please please buy jap

no fiats either

 

Hehe.. reminds me of a little something we wrote a while back.

some inspired lyrics there, simon.........

 

Thanks, I think!
Yeah, well... lots more where that came fom lol!

 

Stop buying shit then AT, what did you expect for the money?

Either get a Skoda or Jap, the only trouble with Jap when they go wrong you won't be fixing it and its not cheap.

Also you do not sound like a competent mechanic, perhaps best left to someone that is.

 

No, no, you obviously have an ability with this.

Whether the line "wheres a f*****g ambulance when you need one?" (or similar) will do down with your granny (or mine) is another matter!

only kidding

 

Small older jap cars are death traps and cost a fortune to insure as a result. Skodas maybe.

Anyway I have sorted the car now, the new filler cap seems to have done the trick, the sludge around the valves is completly clear and it dosn';t seem to be getting blocked anymore.

 

....... and does it drive ok now, or just seem to be fixed???

Hope it's sorted AT

 

Drives fine, well at least it did before I kurbed it this afternoon Don't think any damage was caused, but it illustrates the exact reason I didn't want to pay a lot for my first car

 

what is 'kurbed'?

 

Kerbed sorry . I.e you hit the pavement .
