I bought one for RM junior great little bit of kit, unfortunately or fortunately limited to 65 mph twice as economical as the Navara and great fun to drive.

Average mpg is sitting at 53mpg!
I've noticed a few strange things on it this morning! Guess pitfalls of buying at auction and not properly looking!
The roof lining has been cut
open in a few places. 
. Don't know if been someone hiding or looking for drugs. Don't think they've left any!
Cap on water expansion tank is broken. It comes off but metal bit remains in it!
Should they have a fuel tank cap!? It doesn't have one. But there's a sprung loaded cap you can push nozzle through.
Someone's been doing deliveroo drops with it! Found driver receipts in bit at back where spare wheel sits. Dog hair in back. But that doesn't bother me.
No service history! Owners handbook for previous model!
Anyway will put it into local garage and get it fully serviced and checked over.
Joys of buying used at auction .
Standard on Fiestas by all accounts. New bottle required, mechanic has one waiting for my son’s Fiesta
No fuel cap, two Fiestas here.
surely difficult to compare properly as nobody else make a six pot that size. modern day TS115 turbo, proper farmers tractor

Sorry I can't be more help, it has the 1.4 diesel in. Same engine is in Daughters C2 and that has been faultless well North of 100000 miles on that

I went to a case dealer with the deal I was getting and he told me he couldn't match it. Their 4 cylinder maxum was dearer. John deere was another 20k for something similar.

Has the key been programmed as a smart key to limit speed? (and radio volume)

No idea it's x county council so restricted by some means Ford can sort it apparently
