Hi all.
My son who is coming home from uni this week, has just said the orange spanner light has come on.
It’s a 2013 Ford Fiesta 1.2.
Any help would be good.
What does this symbol mean.
Regards.
Dave.

Sounds like an overdue service.

Serviced September 2020.

But does a lot of stop, start, short journeys, being at uni.

Thanks for that. Apparently, it indicates that there’s a problem with the drive train.
But, he’s just driven back from Brighton uni & all is well in the fiesta world again :-))
Will put code reader on it tomorrow to see if it has thrown up any codes.
