I had the pleasure today of servicing a friends fiesta 1.3 mk4
done the usual brake fluid change , antifreeze change, checking brake pads etc etc

lifted up the rear seat base which was left loose to find this .....
































What a Lash up !
The lazy baxtered who have been mucking around with the fuel pump couldnt be bothered to drop the tank
Then to make it worse they have used some sort of mastic to cover up the destruction

[dontpannic]

Holy crap! Thats a mess!

Wow... just wow.

[Rhinopower]

I almost did this before out of laziness. Lol

[jayrs]

seen it a few times mate, even seen a section missing and nothing covering it!

[~nomad~]

ha! Did this on a xr2i years ago, rivited in a allo panel and it was neat, but still a bodge lol. That said i think there should be an access panel as standard.

[TIL13R]

Oh dear...!!

As said above should be access from the factory for it...

[Smo]

Seen it before, too! Dodgy stuff... I never had a problem with mine, thankfully!

[russ-RST]

my RS turbo shell had a very dodgily cut with an angle grinder hole/massacre under the seat too, lazy buggers

[Dave5300]

my rs has this aswell

[fordorvag]

lazy ....
did see one a few years back with a rivit'ed hinge on it like a trap door ? like how often do you change the pump ???????

[~Tony~]

I did this to one of my fiestas but only because it wasn't driveable and i needed the panel from the fuel tank for my other one, was easier than dropping the fuel tank but didn't matter as it was going for scrap.

Any car i wanted to keep i would drop the tank

[Ollybee]

Oh dear.
