Evening Fella's
I have been to look at an [07] plate Fiesta Zetec s tdci today for her indoors. Overall the car was in great original condition with a good amount of options fitted, full leather, privacy glass, reverse sensors etc etc.
There were 2 issues i would like advise about before i go ahead and purchase.
1. There was a small oil leak from the sump area, not sure wether the fiests's suffer from the same issues as the Focus ST's with the oil filter diaphram? - Are there any common faults qoth oil leaks? (The garage said this would be rectified before sale)
2. When we pulled off for a test drive there was a cloud of blue smoke on acceleration, it cleared after around 30 secs of driving and even under load theee was no smoke once warmed. The car had been stood for a couple of weeks over christmas, i had it ticking over whilst looking round it and there was no smoke, even from the cold start up it was clear.
The link to the car.
