    I bought a 2007 Fiesta Zetec and the jack is broken.Where would it get a new jack and which one is best. I looked up jacks and some say about weight restrictions. What weight? is a 2007 Fiesta.

    Also i have trouble finding exactly where to put the jack under the car. i am not very good with cars

    Thanks

    Here's the jack you need

    the cars manual should say where it goes, someone else may be of more help regarding that.

    the cars manual should say where it goes, someone in this thread shows the locations, might be a newer car but should be similar

    Thanks. Appreciate that. I have the manual and it shows the points but i always find these finicky.

    Also my spare is one where you can only do 80KPH it looks a bit wide to be a so called skinny wheel. It is 175/65/R14. It is too dark now to check the wheels on the car,. Should they be exactly the same 175/65/R14?

    Are those spares steel? It is shiny black . Cannot post an image. I'm not sure if i got any steel nuts and the wheels on the car are alloy

    I have never seen one of those spare tyres that can only do 80kph be the same width as a regular tyre, they are usually much slimmer in width

    It would be highly unlikely that your car has incorrect width tyres on it tbh.

    Some Fords actually had proper size spares with steel rim and a 80kmh sticker on them. Disregard the sticker!

    Regarding jack, practically any ford from 1990-2010 has same jack. Any breaker would have one.
    I threw out at least 10 during Lockdown #1 cleanup

    Thanks. The wheel is steel then?. I will need steel nuts. Will any steel wheel nuts from an 2007 Fiesta do?

    Yes, but look closely at the alloy wheel nuts...
    They're fine 😎

    Not sure what you mean "but look closely at the alloy wheel nuts." or what 😎 is

    The tyres on the car are 195/45/R16. The spare is 175/65/R14


    Can that spare be used? Will R14 fit R16?

    Yes, that's why sticker on rim to go slow.
    It's 'emergency wheel'.
    You say you have the manual - read it.
