Ford Fiesta LX 1.3 1998 Manual...

bhaneasa

Bought my mothers Fiesta from her, however she never had the user manual for it. Have tried for ages on the internet looking for it, but with no luck...:mad:
Anybody know where I could lay my hands on one. I was sure there'd be on-line manuals/handbooks - Am I looking in the wrong places? Need one as I wanna know all about it (Dumb woman, you see! )
Appreciate any help

S.I.R

ebay or everyfordireland.com... otherwise you have two chances...

Thanks - will have a look at the everyfordireland site - hadn't heard of it.
Cheers!:)

to be honest, the features aren't that complicated on a Fiesta, a Haynes manual for the Fiesta will have all necessary maintainance instrucions, and particulars like fuse location etc.

Is there anything in particular you want to know? I have the same car + manual. The manual is not specific to the model - it covers all Fiestas and Couriers from that period. The manual for the stereo is separate.

Hi,
Nothing in particular that I need to know. Just got it recently and today was first day I had decent look at it etc. Used to have an escort and I notice the position of the spare wheel is different - used to be in boot in Escort but in Fiesta it's underneath the car... Just not clued up on how to remove it etc. Didn't want to go pulling at it coz the BF is away & I probably wouldn't have been able to get it back right if I removed it.
Couldn't find jack - maybe there is none but is there some compartment that I've not seen yet??:o

The Hayes manual for the Fiestas is still readily available from motor shops and is, as suggested, probably your best bet. The jack is in the boot, on the right hand side, behind the felt trim close to the tail light assembly. It has a yellow turn button that releases the cover.

To remove the spare tyre there's a bolt underneath the carpet in the boot (just behind the lock) which you can loosen with the wheel brace, although it takes forever with the crappy little yoke that comes with the jack.
