i'v just being browsing at some fiestas R and S reg also a sheddy N reg all 1.2s .1.3s (not sure what mk they are there all same shape newer ish) firstly am i in the right section? is this a common problem of these type of fiesta? is it just a new clutch kit?

are they zetec engines? on these models
what most basic engines are a option? reliable wise by basic i mean easy to fix.

im {Bad Word: Moderated}uming if theres a difference between zetec and other engine im only aware of the 1.6 cvh engine (in a ford orion mk 5 saloon)
if im in the wrong section you guys mite all just say get the the latter, just be honest and point me were to start lol

i'd like to find cars from 97 to around 2000 poss 99/02 , iv had a ford before and come to think they can be the most reliable cheap option to run and repare cheap parts and so on just un sure on model difference iv ignored fiesta for a very long time so unsure


oh and hello i just joined
(did a bit of reading there mk 4 and mk5)

Get a 1.3 if you can,simple economical,and reliable,and good to work on if need be.
