    Nice little upgrade that. Shame you couldn't of got them bolts in the other way. But hey it's on and looks good.
    Wishing you and your family a Happy New year from my clan. Look forward to the next episode. Cheers mate

      Thanks Frank. It was a pity, but access to the upper part with a spanner was so difficult. Stiĺl, Tai's happy and that's the main thing.
      Hope your family has a good one too. Speak soon bro.

    Good video mate 👍. This is a noob question but when you jacked up the car what jack points did you use . Many thanks

      Thanks Paul. Glad you enjoyed it.
      No sweat about the question. Looking at the video, it is a bit tricky to tell, isn't it? I can't remember exactly! 🤣 Ironically, I'm doing some repairs on MY newly-acquired Mk7 Fiesta at the moment and I've been placing the axle stands under the chassis rails, just inside the sills. I would recommend using those. Cheers pal. 👍😎

    Yo Jimmy. I'm enjoying the videos and that you really like your 2.8i. I only watched a few. As yours is a X reg and mine is a Y reg has it ever had new metal brake lines? I'd just fitted all new front brakes 6 months ago and I made up new ones. I've got a kit to cut, flare and bend pipe. I'd get 1 old pipe off and make a new one. Change 1 for 1. That's so can't get where it goes mixed up. So using the old pipes as a pattern. I was bleeding the fronts and I noticed fluid dripping off the axle. The long pipe had a pinhole in it. They did well for 39 years!!!!!

      Yo Ken! Certainly, mine hasn't had new metal brake lines since I took ownership 3 years ago. Sounds like you had quite a jigsaw fitting yours. Very impressive!

    Hello.. I have a Ford Fiesta 2012 Zetec and I cannot find any side skirts anywhere, please link the side skirts and the diffuser thankyou great video

      Hi Liam. Thanks for your comments pal. Much appreciated.
      I don't know the link to the site it was bought from I'm afraid, as I didn't buy it. All I know is that it's a KMS rear splitter/diffuser. They might have a direct website possibly?
      The sideskirts were on the car already, factory-fitted for this model I believe (ST-Line 1.0 EcoBoost).

    Best way to remove rivets in simply just to drill them, the heads pop right off

    • @jimmykneesall
      @jimmykneesall  Год назад +1

      Cheers Harry. Yeah, in hindsight, I should have done that. Oh well. Always learning. Still, I reckon the end-result wasn't too bad. Cheers.

    Could you not have put the bolts in the other way round, or a better idea to use Pop rivets?????

    • @jimmykneesall
      @jimmykneesall  5 месяцев назад

      You're absolutely spot-on pal. I would have definitely preferred pop rivets. I just don't have a rivet gun! 🤣 Oh well. Tai was happy with the results, and that's the main thing. 👍

      Hi Ismail. I'm guessing the one that was on there originally was one from Ford themselves.

    Hi I know you might not see this but want to get a rear diffuser for my car was wondering what model you’res is and if you know if that one would fit a 2009 mk 7 fiesta diesel?

    • @jimmykneesall
      @jimmykneesall  8 месяцев назад

      Hi Jacob. No problem pal.
      It's my son-in-law's car. 1 litre petrol Ecoboost. I'd be quite surprised if it didn't fit yours. As you can see from the video, it was just a case of swapping the bits over. The moulding was the same shape. Just needed a little bit of fettling. 😁
      If you're not sure, I would contact KMS directly. I'm sure they'd be able to confirm for sure.
      Keep me posted pal. 👍

    How does it work with the sensors if you have them ?

    • @jimmykneesall
      @jimmykneesall  Год назад

      Hi Dave. Sorry for the late reply. The sensors are in the bumper piece above the diffuser, so it doesn't affect them at all. Obviously, you'd just need to be careful to not trap any of the wiring whilst you fit it. Hope that helps pal. 👍
