Which Jack? & Fiesta 1st Impressions
Posted: Sun Jul 08, 2012 8:30 pm
Hi,
Last Thursday I collected a 4 month old Titanium Econetic with 906 miles on the clock and have just joined this forum. I've had numerous Ford's over the years and still have a Kuga.
Between yesterday & this morning I have put 515 miles on the clock most of it crusing on the motorway at 60-61mph (on GPS as speedo was reading ~64) and have averaged 65.03mpg (exactly 36litres) which I'm fairly happy with (despite the speedo reading fast the mileometer agreed with the GPS to within 0.1miles over 120 miles so the 65mpg is accurate - the trip computer however was showing 71mpg).
Given the mileage I do I am keen to get a spare wheel to replace the inflation kit. My plan is to get an identical alloy wheel/tyre and the moulded polystyrene unit for the MK7 to store the jack/wrench etc.
There are lots of fairly new looking jacks on ebay but all seem to claim to be for earlier versions of Fiesta - does anyone know which, if any, of the earlier jack will fit into the MK7 storage unit?
Thanks in advance
Carl
