Check the driver side, under the rear window, you can see that the paint is a little strange, I think it's full of car putty or something.. I think it was rear ended at some point. And at 5:35 you can see the engine moving under acceleration, I believe the lower gearbox mount is bad (very common on these). Good thing you have replaced the spark plugs, but I suggest to replace also the HT leads and the coil, they're very notorious to go bad (buy only NGK or OEM, the rest of them are crap). Replace the coolant expansion tank (5:55 you can see under the cap bubbling) beacuse they all crack and lose coolant at some point (again, go for OEM it's cheap) How do I know those thing? I bet you can figure it out yourself!
I had one of these for 7 years, absolutely loved it, not one thing went wrong on it I had coil overs, full miltek exhaust including the manifold makes it sound much better and actually gives it a good tone with next to no drone inside, triple r st150 rear diffuser and front splitter in my opinion best looking one for a neat finish I never bothered with an induction kit just put a a k&n panel filter in the standard air box all the rest just seem to suck hot air in. it was actually a fairly nippy little car and gripped like nothing else I think 135bhp is very ambitious though 😅 120 after a map would be very top end I’d say, very fun willing little cars though
I've got a1.4 fiesta, same model, the whole rpm dropping is normal,.mine does it if you press the brake pedal alot, also check inside the spark plug area and check of its damp, if so could do with some new core plugs, stops coolant contaminating them
Nice cant wait till i get mine
Clean whip bro …love the videos

Didn't think of that actually, Interesting. 🤔 I'll check it out and include my findings in the next episode, thanks for the advice.
