What year is the car? Older ones don't have power steering. My old 1.1 didn't.
Don't worry, it doesn't take long to get used to it.
Could be a number of things ball joints steering column bushes steering rack the list goes on
There aren't many (if any) Fiesta 1.1's that actually have power steering. In fact you were lucky to get a five speed gearbox in some of the older ones. If your car is meant to have power steering & doesn't then you can do one of three things - take it to a garage & have it fixed (expensive); Get the correct parts & fit them yourself (less expensive but a right bugger if you **** it up); or you can do the kindest thing & chuck the car away cos it's a heap of junk anyways!
No power steering huh, that's probably because it didn't come with any, and it can't be hard to turn with 12 inch tires. And shouldn't that be a 1.6 liter? That is the Kent engine.
