i have also a knocking noise on my Fiesta st 2008 and have discovered that it is the handbrake cable underneath the car between the heat shield and body of under center of where your handbrake is.The heat shield will have to be removed as what happens normally the hand brake cable comes loose and rattles against the heat shield when accelerating & deceleration... really annoying!
How do you adjust the Ford Fiesta handbrake?
You need to be more specific as to the model of Fiesta. The Mk 6 Fiesta's handbrake adjustment is accomplished by turning the nut on the threaded rod attached to the base of the handbrake lever. First pull off the handbrake lever shroud - just tug the back of it upwards to release the clips. the difficult part is working the shroud over the lever and off. It's a struggle - but it can be done. There may be an awkward star lock-washer on top of the adjusting nut. Use long-nose pliers to get this off and throw it away and replace it with a nylock nut. Slide a long 10mm socket or box spanner over the thread to tighten or slacken the adjusting nut. Earlier models will have different adjustment methods.

Ford Fiesta cutting out?
I have a 1996 ford fiesta lx which had its fuel filter cleaned about a month ago...it was getting sluggish, low revs and the engine would cut out and come back on. Didn't have any problems after it was cleaned - felt much smoother to drive, better revs and no cutting out! Until today...my drives to work are only short (5 mins) so the engine always stays fairly cool. Was driving around a lot today, only local driving at 30mph. Was probably driving round for about 2 hours or maybe more and I noticed the driving started to feel a bit judderish and sluggish. i also noted the engine was getting warmer as it came off the cool mark and then again..the engine cuts out 3 times on my drive home but i had to stop this time to restart the car. I only noticed it had cut as the dashboard lights came on. The engine also sounded a bit strained...it was really working to get up into 2nd gear which I thought was weird. Any ideas?!?! they will be much appreciated!!!!
