one point to note is that if your engine oil warning light comes on - do something about it immediately - as in right there and then! literally 15miles or so after Clare's came on ; it needed a new engine!

as live lee said keep your eye onthe oil, becuase i went down the road in my sisters to fill up for her and it started knocking, i took it to the garage right away but was too late the bottom end had fooked, becuase it had no oil. " The oil light was NOT on either" 
the zetec engines are known for burning alot of oit too.

Best to keep a check on your oil anyway, not relying on lights etc...

I've bought 1l of oil when I bought my car. Have done 9k miles, and still have 0.5l of oil left, so, bang goes that idea 
My girlfriend had a 1.4 16v Zetec engine in her Fiesta and the same thing has happened. No oil light either. Engines aren't cheap either.
