My White Fiesta SXI

nandans2005 · 6th January 2010, 15:04

hey ruchirtnt,

Its the alignment issue mate ! You should be careful with the guys who are checking pressure. I mean the way he checks it, rather the way the pressure is applied on the valves to check.

This has got a lot to do, since the person checking may leave the valve out of alignment, which causes the air to escape between the valve base and the tyre wall.

i have had this issue with my scorpio, atleast this is what my tyrewalla made me understand.

Ok i will check this out in the service station on my visit.

Down with cold and cough, so could not grab a hand on my fiesta from last three days, what a Luck.

Air deflectors ? well i always thought its called the window visors ! Its useful to put down the glass a bit during the rains, without getting the rain water in to get some fresh air, if one is too sensitive to A/c

Truly said, that is what the purpose of air deflectors, thats the reason people are going for it.
May be i will also install it in summers.

No, 5000kms or 3 months, whichever is earlier.
(6 months is for 2nd service)

Posting some snaps of the Scuff plates installed, got it from Ford at Noida,

The Ford dealer at lucknow was telling that my car is the first to install the scuff plates in their entire fiesta dealership experience.

Felt great to hear that.

both photographs are same (driver side scuff plates)
What about rear doors (may be you forgot to take photos of same).?
Also did you fix any steel like material in the corner bends also or the scuff plates
are now coming with more length than the older ones?

Nope the car bends are left as such, and i have not added anything to it.

following is the link which shows that the FOrd provides a majority of accessories for Ikon but not for Fiesta.

How much did the scuff plates cost you? Meanwhile bask in the glory of being the first Fiestian to have the scuff plate installed in Lucknow.
