How do I install a speedometer cable for a 1989 Ford Festiva?

Unscrew the speedo at the gearbox. I've been able to remove the other end from the back of the instrument cluster without removing the cluster from the car. Using a torch, find the speedo cable and follow it to the back of the cluster. Put your "cigarette smoking" fingers on top of the clip which remains the cale and use your thumb on the bottom and push up. The cable should unclip from the cluster. Pull cable through firewall whichever way looks easiest. To install get anoth person to help you. While one person feed the cable onto the back of the instrument cluster, get the other person to turn the inner cable to align the cable into the cluster, cos the cable is square at both ends. Clip in and screw the other end into the gearbox. Done. If you are just replacing the inner cable , you can can remove the cable at the tranny and pull it out , and slide the new one right in , less than a 10 min job , just make sure to lube it well when installing the new one of the old one , that is the biggest problem , they get dry and chirp and squeal and speedo needle jumps .

The battery isn't getting a charge while driving and you got a new altenater new battery and you checked the grounds Its got you stumped?

Did you have the new alternator tested before you installed it? I have already purchased aftermarket parts from places like Autozone and installed them and have found they are defective. I installed a starter only to find out the starter was bad. I took it back to Autozone, they gave me another one, I asked to have it tested and IT was defective. I had to go to another store to get one that worked. freak of nature? Maybe ...but it does and has happened. Make sure the belt on the alternator isn't slipping.

What can go wrong with a ten year old Ford Fiesta?

Actually, the same things that go wrong with any car.....Brakes, Hoses, Belts, etc etc. But the main thing I would look for is if oil is seeping out from underneath the Valve Cover, dripping down over the front area of the engine, spark plugs, etc. Start the engine, open the Oil Filler Cap, and if there is significant air flow coming OUT of this opening then these are pretty sure signs that the Piston Rings are bad, or worse.
