My sister in law is one the phone, shes 200 miles away claiming to have a dodgy clutch

is it adjustable?

difficulty engaging first and reverse. drive OK, no problems with other gears. I'm thinking cable clutch needs adjusting but don't know the car

cheers

I think that type of fiesta has a hydraulic clutch. The 1997 fiesta diesel i had as a company car certainly did. If it's only first and reverse she must be able to drive it home.

thanks, she live 200 miles away, and making a 400 mile trip later this week, wants to know if she should detour here to have it adjusted. no point if can't be!

thanks for the heads up

frantically looking for an online haynes

As Terry g said ,the clutch is hydraulically operated (My '98 and 2000 deisel ones were) and the slave cylinder is in the bellhousing so if that is faulty it's not a quick fix. It's a gearbox out so replace the clutch complete when you are at it.
