I'm Mike, a car enthusiast from Mid-Wales
Professionally I work in electrical engineering, but my real passion is cars and all things DIY
MY FOCUS: relatable automotive DIY content
WHAT YOU WILL SEE:
- Me (and my mates) working on cars, on axle stands, on our backs, on the driveway, in the rain... true DIY
- real life solutions to things you WILL encounter when working on your own cars
- A can-do attitude towards mends, mods and everything in between
- Inspiration to "get on the tools", make your car your own and probably save yourself some money while you're at it
WHAT YOU WON'T SEE:
- A financed BMW M140 that I absolutely cannot afford, built by a professional tuning company that I'll call "content"
I'm proud to say that I have vinyl wrapped my own MK6 Ford Fiesta ST150 and taken on a rebuild project on one of the most talked-about engines of recent times - the 1.0L Ecoboost 3 Cylinder Fox engine in my MK7 Fiesta.
And there's so much more to come!

My friend has a bog standard 1.0 Fiesta Ecoboost. Its well geared for what it is.
Is this channel dead now too?
Call it dormant… hopefully be back soon 🤞🏻
@MendItModIt ah glad to hear that. A lot of decent smaller channels seem to just disappear.
how do you get that clip in at the top as having trouble getting it in
Did you use threadlock? If not have you had any issues with the bolts coming loose?
Nah none mate
You did not look at it first, there is a flange on the outside and you were pushing the FLANGE through the axle, it is meant to pull the bushing outwards FLANGE TO THE ‘outside.😊
bruh , put the links in the description of the video , i like the thinks to put the mats and i dont know who shop i buy
Hi. Whats the brightest headlight you would use on a fiesta?
This is a shot in the dark but do u know where the cylinder head temperature sensor goes got new engine and the mechanic that put it in never put the sensor back in
hi, a question, I have the same car as you Ford fiesta 1.4 tdci, I would like to do the same job change the led lights and make them white, what is the name of the product you use to clean the soldering points before removing them? the same one you use in the video
Solder braid or solder wick is what you want to search for 👍🏻
I would have cleaned the rust off everything, unbolted the hangers, took the axle off, derust it, repaint, looks so much better 👍
I am so glad I found your video! I have never found a better video you really need to give yourself a pat on the back for a job well done! I also bought a 1 liter turbo from copart here in edmonton alberta canada only differance is mine wasnt damaged from a accident but rather a broken shaft in the turbo which the owner never found until he had the engine nearly removed. I'm guessing he was so fed up with the car and he allowed the bank to reposess it then the bank gave it to copart to sell. I have a lot of missing pieces so wish me well trying to find them but anyway thanks again for taking your time and showing each step with patience so we could follow along. Take care and have a great day! Randy Haugen
Thanks dude, and good luck 🤞🏻
Get that back axle off, strip hubs, abs wires off, de rust and paint it, including hangers, get all new bolts from Ford 👍
That is the MK1 ford focus...
Definitely mk2 dude 👌🏻
@@MendItModIt my bad I just realized ou put the heater on an MK6 fiesta, I thought it was a new heater panel on a MK2 focus
You are amazing dude, the space is so narrow and still you managed to capture video and teach us how to replace the fan. I'll share a bit of my experience too, I've just replaced mine, @ScotlandMountainBike here had a great ideea, to remove the metal bar, it ease the work. To mount the fan case back, I had a little issue to align the fan and the case but here's how I've done. Use the phone camera with wide angle and light on to guide yourself 1. Align the bottom screw hole from the fan with the back hole on the same spot, you might need to rotate a bit, but one you align the bottom one the others are pretty close. 2. Place the cover and try to don't move the fan in the process 3. Align the bottom screw hole with previous 2, in my case it was a bit off, I've managed to aligh it by simply putting the screw to force the a bit the alignment, do this if the whole is off by few mm otherwise you didn't placed the fan case correctly. 3. Tight the screw to the 3/4 of it's size 4. Find the most top screw, one near the plastic rotor that open and close the case 5. Take a screw, place it in the case hole, in my case it entered the case whole but it was pretty far from the fan screw hole, I had to push the case up with other hand to fit the screw on the back hole. 5. If the top and bottom screws are in place, the 3rd one (last fan screw) should be in the right position, but is the one hardest to reach because it's in the left (or right depending on the UK or UE car) Also, another tip for the plastic thing that open and close the interior case. The flat side match the line on the moving part of the case. Thanks again for the video, you saved a lot of us thinking that we might need to dissasamble the whole interior to get to that fan 😂
Thanks for the tips dude, I’ll pin your comment for others to see! 👍🏻
O meu Ford ka 1.0 sedan. Ferveu. Vou ter que fazer o motor inteiro. Ficou 12 mil reais. É muito dinheiro. Você poderia fazer uma adaptação e colocar corrente nesse carro 😅

How can you tell they're bad without taking them apart
I brought a ford fiesta ecobooat 1 liter and found the oil on the top of rocker gasket.what will be the reason for that?The oil is on the top thats why it makes me confused.What will be the reason for that oil on the top of rocker gasket
Nice video what a coincidence tho my mk6 fiesta has same reg plate beginning as SA57
I gotta know: how come these TH-cam bids make an install look so easy and when I do it there are problems? Bolts that won’t come out, snapped, missing tools, cuss words, etc.
As a 20 year old, the idea of “programming” isn’t my strong point. However this looks simples. Gonna give it a go
Nice job mate, I’m about to do the same with mine too!
respect mate
mate i need more st150 vids where tf are you?
Working on it dude 🥲
@@MendItModIt so close to 10k mate need to get those vids out!!
Why does it keep blowing
At the time my blower motor was shot at
How did it hold up after a while? I plan on doing this too in my car but i'm worried it will hang/sag after some time
Roof is perfect, pillars pull off because of the right angles. Fabric without the foam would be better. Or foam and fabric separately
@@MendItModIt Maybe painting the pillars would be the better option? Or I just hand them over to someone that does this shit for a living
@@nou-fg8wq paint won’t last 5 minutes and would look shit on the pillars I reckon. Could get the pillars done professionally but I wouldn’t, I’ll just have another go some time in the future
@@MendItModIt Alright so my best bet is no-foam material, thanks for the reply!
@@nou-fg8wq that’s what I’d do on the pillars, or get foam and fabric separately, it’s hard to shape the fabric to the contours of the pillars properly when the foam is part of the fabric. No worries mate, good luck 👍🏻
Thank you for this vid. I changed mine, and it was super easy. Handsome host 😅
Is the ST still driving? Channel has become all silent 😢
ST is not currently driving 😭😭 hence the hiatus 😩

@MendItModIt ah I see. The thing you feared back in one of your videos. Hope to hear soon man! 🙏
@@caseus7972 yeah I just kept driving it and it finally gave up 😂
I know im two years late but do you know if UNA still make the indicators the link doesn’t work! Thanks and great video!
Yeah they’re not trading anymore bud, but you should find similar available elsewhere, eBay will have plenty 👍🏻
i just use tyre paint 😉
I have mk5 i suppose facelifted fiesta so ur st is the same i think.Im not sure if the original st roof spoiler ll fit but otherwise i ll buy some cheaper unpainted roof.
im searching for my first car, and have been seeing a good few mk6 fiestas. Are they cheap to insure? Are they a good first car? Im 17 btw so prepared for higher insurance
How have the B pillars held up against the seatbelt rubbing on the fabric, I've got my headlining and A pillars done but not sure how well the B pillars will hold against the constant rubbing from the belt? Cheers
They’ve held up fine, better than the glue has 😂 maybe put some rubber edging around the hole?
the cute guy distracts me from the technical message ;) ;) ;):)
Did you replace all the bolts when doing this mate and if so do you have the part numbers or a link to where you got them from? Thanks
From memory the OEM style ones came with bolts but I’ve checked the part number and it should be 1513401 That number may have been superseded but you should be able to use that to find what you’re looking for 🤞🏻👍🏻
@@MendItModIt thanks very much dude!
Thanks for this video, mine worked perfect thanks to your help.
I've just followed this video this morning and fitted cruise control to a 2014 Fiesta 1.0 Zetec (9 wires) and it works perfectly. As mentioned in some other comments, the most difficult part was getting the airbag out, but after that it was fairly easy. Thank you so much!
Good tutorial & explanation 👍. Say did you have to remove the alternator? What size tools did you use to do everything apart from the clip clamp, as I gotta do this too 😢😅. Thank you
Alternator is down the back on the ST so no you don’t need to touch the alternator. From memory most of the bolts for the thermostat were 8-10mm but it was a long time ago
does this work on a 2019 mk8 fiesta?
Thanks so much for making this video! I’ve had the same problem with my 05 fiesta and knew it was the blower motor but never knew how to fix it myself, hopefully once ive got the money spare to buy the part I’ll be able to replace it before our summer starts.
Question , where did you get the fabric from ?
what material was the headliner
Where Can i find the adaptator !? I'm faced with the same issue ! Thanks mate
I just fitted to fiesta new 9” 256 GB radio and reverse camera 😅 works astonishingly perfect so far 🙌 I am looking for inspirations 🫡
Just did this job from start to finish in 1 and a half hours whats up with you guys ? 😂
No ramps or air tools either lol piece of cake 😛
Just realised that included waiting 30 minutes for the bloody engine to cool down 🤭
Yes it was a 2007 ST 2.0 Petrol mk6 ballache of a job
Awesome video series! I watched the series twice before i started and decided i wanted to give it a shot, I just finished rebuilding mine that lost a timing belt at 165k miles, runs great so far! I took it a step further and put some fresh rod and main bearings in, like you said in one of the previous videos the hanes manual is a great tool for this car/motor package as there is very little info on this car available online, but even with the hanes manual it still doesnt go over tightening sequence or torque specs of rod caps or main caps for the crankshaft, i managed to get ahold of them on justanswer from a certified ford tech, for anyone looking for those specs. Its $35 a month U.S. to sign up on just answer. It wont let me post the screenshots but if this guy wants to put a video up i will happily send the specs his way i just dont know how to do it on TH-cam
The decat sounds like a full-on rally car…or like that annoying guy with the straight pipe…
First I though the flywheel lock will break, how come did it survive and held?
Now that's a sturdy rebuild tool. 👍
hi ^^Where did you get the ST150 Logo ? It would be nice if you answer can’t find it anywhere 😢
The black one? Unfortunately the company aren’t trading anymore. They were a custom number plate company so try asking a few and they might be able to help, that would be my advice bud 🤞🏻🤞🏻
