Hi All,

Any of the 3 door owners out there, does any of your cars body creak (like a twist of the body sound) when going up drive ways, etc.

Mine is doing it at the moment and I don't know why. I am getting the comp check done by Ford on the 16 Dec and will find out what is going on.

Cheers!

ive noticed a few creaks aswell. as you a couple of you said, i only get it when going up a drive way or something.
im not too fussed, just aslong as it isnt a with suspension.
ive heard alot of people talk about getting software reloaded into our computer.
whats the go with this? is there new software already for the fiesta..

well my car did it a bit when i got it, turned out it was the door locks, if they get dry they can make those same sort of sounds, had them all lubed up and that fixed the problem for quite a while.

the laser's had the same sort of issue

I agree with door locks, My 3 door Focus does the same. Lube them up and away you go.

Had pondered that, I know the ST170 suffers sometimes from bodykit rub with the trailing bottom edge of the door, from where it flexes downwards under stress.

Ah haha, welcome to the world of rims, lesson one: Quality Brands and Extortionate Prices. Tomorrow we'll cover Wheel Spacers and other illegal things! :wnc:

Don't know too many other people who haven't eyed out a set of O.Z. Racing rims and then balked at the price.

Sort of off topic though!

Off topic, but I don't think mods come in here much so they can't split the thread.
:wnc: Gold! Check the Fiesta / Ka forum at the bottom for the names of the moderators here! :rofl:

We are pretty relaxed about it, like in the Focus section. It's more for if the thread starter wants to keep the topic on track.
