My new motor - Fiesta ZS

[Christophe]

I do find i have to really push it into reverse now and again . probably a fiesta thing. Maybe it shakes because you havn't got it fully in

I have the same problem with mine at times, I just lift of clutch and try again. You have to be abit paitent with the clutch when putting it in reverse just leave it for a few seconds then it should engage fine.

Well i mean it makes a grating noise as i select reverse, and a loud one too. take it out of reverse off clutch repeat over and over and it still does it

 

[Matt_90]

Yea mine does it, I normally have to leave my foot on the clutch for about 3-5 seconds and it goes in fine.

Tried putting it in another gear then reverse?

 

[Jordi17]

Yeah seems very tempremental. Although the majorty of time it clunks in

 

[MikeB]

alot of fiesta's do this i find putting them in another gear then in reverse they are fine.

Very tempted by one of these myself but the TDCI Zetec-s. Would prob have to be in black or red myself.

The TDCI is a lovely looking car, well equipt (same as yours) and does stupid miles to the gallon! Not too slow either nice with abit of torque and remap will see them do 0-60 in 10secs.

Amazing for a car that does 53mpg urban, 72 extra urban and insurance group 6!

Yep diesel certainly is more economical, probably should have gone diesel myself doing 500/600 miles a week. That red one in top pic looks clean as fcuk.

More pics in another up to date thread of mine if you're interested.

If i didn't have my Ignis Sport, i'd definitely be driving a Fiesta ST or ZS...

Don't buy a black one if you like to keep your car looking clean 247 .... Mine looks great after a clean but give it a day and it then becomes filthy again showing off any little scratch I wish I had gone for Red or White.

Got my lass a black zs tdci last week. Fantastic car.
Handles well and its fairly quick. Faster than the stats would have you believe.
59 mpg too

Sea grey is just the same! Arse end seems to get dirty after a couple of miles, nightmare if its been wet on the ground. White is awesome although hard to come by

Amazing mpg really considering they are only just slower (apparently). Double the amount of miles to a tank :dapprove:
