Depends on whats causing it to run on 3 cylinders.
If the piston is shot, then you can guarantee the bore will be nackered too, and driving will cause even more, if not unrepairable damage.
At the end of the day... it's a Fiesta....lol..

Oh yeah i know its only a fiesta lol. But its my mums fiesta as my bravo needs an engine transplant - or a rebuild but the engine t/plant seems easier.
It was only running on 3 cylinders 'cos no1 sparkplug was knackered. It limped through and now its got new plugs its fine.
Just my luck though that the bravo broke down, and then the car i borrowed to get me outta the sh*t broke down on me too. bah!
Ive had a bad month. Thanks for the replies

Haha yeah, something similar has been said a couple of times now
The teeth got ripped off the cam belt on the bravo, so i think something seized - all seems free now though.
and the fiesta.. my god.... without warning... stalled.. then would start, then struggle, then stall in about 10 seconds. Ht leads were shot, so i replaced them, and all was well. for about a day.
Then it started running lumpy and upon inspection of the spark plugs, the white porceline around plug 1 was shattered... shuffing cheap cars are a false economy (or maybe my mother just not servicing her car)

Nothin wrong with a fiesta.
I have a 1.2 2000 bravo and a 1.6 1994 fiesta.
Fiesta cant corner for s**t but its quick. The bravo still leaves it sittin on the twisties even whith the head gasket blown between the 2 middle cylinders LOL
