Re: Stiff/sticky gear change

Our 2012 studio has had a crap gear change from new. Ford said it would improve with mileage. It didn't. Ford now says it can't find anything wrong with it...it's still stiff...the new fiesta loan car we were given for the day had covered under a thousand miles and was even worse than ours! Just a b...

Re: 2012 Fiesta 1.25 Flat Spots

Hi, my 2012 1.25 has done this since new...if you back off the accelerator a touch you'll find it picks up.

Front tyre wear BAD!

We managed 7000 miles on the front tyres of our 2012 fiesta studio 1.25. Not a tracking or inflation issue..they just wore out! ( 175/70 x14 hankooks) Is this a record. Ford don't want to know , supplying dealer says it's normal (!!) To be honest I won't be buying another ford...the build quality is...
