Hi I'm buying a house in Hope in Flintshire. We've had the homebuyer's report back and it's flagged up a few things that need doing with the roof. - End trusses not properly secured to walls and no bracing to gable trusses making the roof liable to movement in strong winds - Porch tile...

Hi I have a 2001 N reg 1.3 Fiesta, and over the last few days it's developed a rattling noise that can be quite loud at times but seems to be coming from around the passenger side front wheel underneath the car and only at low speeds i.e. 25mph and below. Any idea what it could be? I'm dreading...

OK thanks for the reply, what would an earthing point look like and would it be inside or outside the car?

Hi I have a 2000 W reg Ford Fiesta 1.3 Finesse and the back window heater doesn't work and hasn't done in a long while. The button still lights up when pressed, and it used to work occasionally but has now stopped completely. The rear wiper is behaving in the same way, and may occasionally work...

I have a Ford Fiesta 1.3 51 reg, and the fans don't seem to blow properly inside the car. The two fans in the centre console hardly have any power to them (on hot or cold) even on higher settings whereas the ones to the side by the doors blow with a lot more force. It often sounds like...

The tyre fit fine onto the new wheel - was just worried I'd bought the wrong one that's all! Thanks for all your replies

Sorry I mean the wheel is 13" in diameter but the depth is only about 155mm thick. It is stamped with 5jx13. What's the max tyre width that a 5jx13 wheel can be fitted with?

I've measured the new wheel and it's only 155 mm wide. It does have a 13 printed on it so I guess the diameter is right. Looks like it'll have to go back then I guess :( All the tyres on it at the moment are 165/70/R/13 though

Hi one of the rear wheels for one of our fiestas is damaged and therefore no longer round (it wobbles slightly when it's on the road) so I've bought a new steel wheel from Evans Halshaw. It's for reg W972 PLJ which has tyres 165/70/R/13 fitted and the dealer said this wheel will fit. However...

Here's a couple of pics under the bonnet if that helps

Hi am I right in thinking that for a petrol 1.3 mk4 fiesta there is only one belt, the auxiliary drivebelt? There's no other belt like a fan belt hidden anywhere is there? Only that I've never had them replaced and I'm thinking about it. The drivebelts in both fiestas are quite glazed and I...

Hi I need some new tyres 165/70/R/13 for the front of a W reg fiesta and I'm going for premium and have narrowed the choice down to eco contact 3 or the duragrip. I'd read a few reviews saying that the Contis wear quicker and they are also slightly more expensive - what would you recommend? The...

Hi I own a petrol 01 mk4 fiesta and on monday after the cold weekend the battery was flat and I needed a jump start. I cleaned the windscreen on the sunday so had the door open and the interior light on with the radio for about an hour. The bloke who came out said that I should buy a new battery...

I have an annoying and sometimes very loud high pitched squeaking noise coming from under my car (fiesta 01 mk4) audible from the handbrake area so I think it may be the exhaust. Took it into three garages in the end, only one drove it and it didn't make the noise, they all said that there was...
