DJ Lloydy yea something to do with the valve not opening so doesn’t let all the heat through or something.. this may help... just wish I learned to speak when I did this one 🤣 ruclips.net/video/e-h9GD06dkQ/видео.html
You can buy an aux lead from Ford I believe. Just plugs straight into the stereo 👍. Will have to drill a hole for the input socket to go on. Personally probably best to get a aftermarket stereo with a USB socket as the audio output will be better than aux
Absolutely love these cars, I’m 19 and I got a 1.2 2010 corsa back in November. And in December time I get 1 years no claim. And I’d absolutely love one of these cars, I think they’re so good looking and 2L 150bhp is probably an overwhelming jump from a 1.2 with 83bhp. The insurance is a little nuts on the fiesta though, but If I put around £250 excess fee on an insurance quote and push the date back about 3weeks, with one years no claim I get quotes for 1400 ish. Which is very good imo. Usual quotes with no excess fee and a non pushed back date it’s around a stupid 2-3 grand mark. Also since I’m so young I can’t claim an exhaust on any car because it goes to a bonkers £3000. But if I can get an ST when I get my 1 year no claims, even with no exhaust I’d be more then happy👌🏻
I reckon you will notice the difference in power for sure! I am a massive Ford fan (as you can probably tell lol). I really like the Fiesta shapes through the years but the MK6 is one of my favourites for sure! These are cheap to buy currently and fairly good in terms of maintenance. Hopefully the insurance does not put you off getting one!
@@DJLloydy I’m able to get a decent quote, with no exhaust, ideally I don’t want a black box because I can’t stand mine. But hopefully I’ll be able to drive one 👌🏻
I'm looking at getting one for my second car I'm in a 1.6 ep2 sport Honda civic car limit it all day is the fiesta the same? Don't know to get this or save more and get a Fn2?
When you say limit it all day you mean you have a heavy right foot? I don’t know much about the EP2 enough to recommend either car. The Fiesta is good fun to drive though I do know that :)
@@DJLloydy I got a new one on eBay from fords parts shop for 23 quid there is a few videos on RUclips to change it and it was pretty straight forward to be honest
Sounds pricey to me as that is about £3100 roughly and mine is on 246.000km and I bought mine much cheaper than that. Although I don’t know the car market where you live....
At least you have the best shape Fiesta (In my opinion lol) 8 grand! Jesus the cars not even worth that :( keep driving and get your no claims up and it will get better for you for sure
@@zaink7037 As far as I can tell both wheels are perfectly straight while the steering wheel is slightly off to the left. I'm certain it's either tie rods or lower arm bushings as the car has a tendency to "shake" left and right when I hit bumps etc
I drive slow everywhere haha. I think that’s the reason it’s doing so well. If you have a lead foot I think that’s why you may be getting a low reading? Thanks for the like!
DJ Lloydy £296 a month mate as I’m only 20 haha😬, don’t know what it would’ve been for the year though as It’s on the same policy I had with my last car but I swapped it over so it’s got their added charges on top of it as well
@@DJLloydy Plenty do. Mine does near the gearstick. My old Mk6 zetec didn't have one, but the stereo supported it so I bought a plug on ebay they goes into the back of the stock stereo and Bobs your uncle.
nice video.
my temp used to run at a quarter, so chnged the thermostat and its always at half now
That’s another video in the bag :) thanks mate haha, very weird that it was running so low

Will look into that thanks Zain! So annoying not having decent music on the go

Hope you get the decent quote you are after mate!!! I can’t imagine a black box is great for you either!!
Mice video, and not a bad looking ST. If you were to change the wheels and ended up selling the st150 alloys can you let me know ? Thanks
Thanks Archie, yeah of course will drop you a message, thankfully these are in good condition with no buckles etc...
i just bought one yesterday, really pleased with it, comin out of a polo 1.4 tdi the thing feels like a gt40 lol. could do with a 6th gear tho.
Good choice of car! Yeah I bet that’s mental for you coming from the 1.4! 6th gear would of been great in these cars!
Steering wheel issue would be your wheel alignment approx £30 to fix some garages don’t offer this but 100% recommend
Ben ? Cheers going to look into this when we are allowed back out again.....
JUST BOUGHT A RED ONE OF THESE LOOKING TO UPGRADE INDUCTION & EXHAUST
The induction is great for noise but not a great power gain and the exhaust does sound good on this one but drones like a gooden!!
Some come with stripes was that optional? Can you buy the stripe kit anywhere ?
I think most if not all came with the stripes? You can get these from Ford still I believe however look at DMB Graphics as they do them as well

@@DJLloydy just high rev it yeah lol
Yeah, operating temperature for these is 90C (so exactly in between 60 and 120). The temperature dial shouldn't be any further to the right than 60c.
Nice one thanks JonN_zy
i have got a zetec s fiesta of the same year and that is £1000 per year with a black box and 6k miles.
Wow that’s quite a lot more than I would of thought having the black box as well!!
That's decent. I'm paying around £550 now for mine with the 1.6 TDCI engine at 21 with 4 years no claims
i love mine
The engine temperature being on 60 degrees is the thermostat
Thanks Liam I’m going to check it out and get changed once we can actually buy parts again
@@DJLloydy I got a new one on eBay from fords parts shop for 23 quid there is a few videos on RUclips to change it and it was pretty straight forward to be honest
Nice one thanks Liam, will have a look on there and see what I can find. I will have to make another video to churn out some content lol
Hello..im looking to buy one of these now..with 180.000 klm on..is it a good idea?
What sort of price is it going for?
@@DJLloydy 3500euro..
Sounds pricey to me as that is about £3100 roughly and mine is on 246.000km and I bought mine much cheaper than that. Although I don’t know the car market where you live....
@@DJLloydy well with 246.000 i guess it would be like 2200-2500euro here in Greece...
@@DJLloydy the thing is the 680euro i will have to pay to the fucking goverment..for the 2021..
I've a 1.2 mk6 fiesta and is over 2k for insurance an st is is 8 grand only started driving tho 🤣🤣
At least you have the best shape Fiesta (In my opinion lol) 8 grand! Jesus the cars not even worth that :( keep driving and get your no claims up and it will get better for you for sure
Same issue as you with the steering wheel pointing slightly to the left 🤔
So annoying but I’m sure it’s the tie rods needing replacing, watch this space....
Have you checked the tracking?
@@zaink7037 As far as I can tell both wheels are perfectly straight while the steering wheel is slightly off to the left. I'm certain it's either tie rods or lower arm bushings as the car has a tendency to "shake" left and right when I hit bumps etc
Not had mine checked yet but going to check tie rods first anyway for some content lol
28 mpg as an average? Think I had better look into mine then because i get between 16-18 😂😂. Great vid mate
I drive slow everywhere haha. I think that’s the reason it’s doing so well. If you have a lead foot I think that’s why you may be getting a low reading? Thanks for the like!
DJ Lloydy haha yeah I think I’d better slow down, this young driver insurance on top of the fuel each week is killing me 😂
Haha yeah I bet :( how much is your insurance out of interest?
DJ Lloydy £296 a month mate as I’m only 20 haha😬, don’t know what it would’ve been for the year though as It’s on the same policy I had with my last car but I swapped it over so it’s got their added charges on top of it as well
Wow! That’s almost what I paid in a year, I am an old fart though haha that should go down a fair bit though once you have completed a year?
How much mpg you getting out of this car?
Well I drive pretty boring so it’s saying average 26-28 mpg, however when putting foot down I would say about 12-15
Is it fast enough ? but I mean I’m coming from a 1 litre corsa c so anything is gonna seem fast to me 🤣
It’s a fairly quick car yes but the handling is out of this world, such a fun car to drive. Coming from a 1.0 Corsa you will be happy lol
Any mk6 Ford does not have an aux
You sure? I have seen plenty that do
@@DJLloydy Plenty do. Mine does near the gearstick. My old Mk6 zetec didn't have one, but the stereo supported it so I bought a plug on ebay they goes into the back of the stock stereo and Bobs your uncle.
Nice one Ross will get that sorted!
yep best looking st ever made and all ways will the new ones at just shi*T looking the front end is 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢
