Air Box Drilling - make sticky?
After being asked a few times by PM, I've decided to make a little guide...
Drill the air box....
Or in Steve's bodge job method...
Hope this helps.

Fiesta_Steve :just take the airbox off, put an old sock over the CFi unit and hold it on with a elastic band
that will be nice and free flowing, and it will keep big bits of crap like leaves and flies out lol
Hope this helps.

Please note: It is of considerable importance that the sock has no large holes in it!

Alternator prob not solved, mystery. Car's not drawing anything while ignition off, or when locked, or when locked and armed. Confuddling. Got a new valve in though, and heated screen now works

Cos I'm goin back to uni for a week tomorrow, Fiesta's no longer insured as of tomorrow, and I bought this heap of crap Metro to use at uni. So Fiesta's going in the shed covered up, want it to be properly clean, but looks as though I might have to polish it next week when I come home for a week. Rather do a proper job of it, gonna be at least 2 or 3 months till I drive it again I think
