Had a chat about your ST with your brother, after he recovered my Iveco from Hazelbury Bryan in Dorset.. Showed him my 2006 Performance Blue mk6 ST when he got me back to work depot.. Nice guy..
Love these project videos. Little tip I saw on UA-cam (delboys garage) for trim bits and bobs is to double sided tape them on top of an old spray can or something like that and then when you spray them you can pick it up, turn it side to side, etc. It stops the surface of what you’re painting them upon getting in the way. Might help you or someone else. Keep up the good work mate, stay safe.
Hi congratulations on getting to 36,900 subscribers and well done for all your hard work collecting the vehicles and with the videos as well and hope you are staying safe and well
Great to see you’ve got the lights working & you’ve nearly got all the parts you need for ur ST. Some of the jobs you did there I use to do when I worked on the buses. I use to use very smooth sandpaper when I use to prime & gloss the odd panels on the Buses 🚍. Or I would use the sander for quickness. But main job was always checking & changing oils & greasing propshafts stubs & other areas that needed done. Thanks very much for the memories Kevtee very much appreciated Pal. Top man. 👍👍 Oh I also checked & worked lights among other jobs like reving up building up air pressure etc Pal.
Hi Kev, shame about the workmate! Perhaps on reflection you could have masked that off! I'm disappointed that you failed the MOT - but I think you had your portion of Jam when it was only the fuel cutoff switch!! Still, on the brighter side... more to come! Keep up the good work Pal!
Those springs will be awaiting the customs import forms to be filled out in triplicate, signed, counter signed and stamped in red, white and blue so you should have them by August. P.S I think your workmate has character.
Got my MOT tomorrow, gotta buy some h4 as LEDs are now evil as per DoT. I got TRW discs and pads to go on after.. I don't mind a minor if the ones on nearly at the end. The last 5 mots be good. Just a cat cleaner and that's it. 2 things keV, upper front grill can be pulled out for access to headlights and probably go for a K&N recharge kit, to clean and re oil the cone. My shocks etc are grande (he says) luckily.. left upper mount strut bolt looks as a bit worse for wear. You can get caps for these.
@@doctorhugocat yes they have gone in with a massive framework to abide by. I guess the bottle of bourbon on the passenger seat that disappeared didn't help my cause.
Great vid Kev,lovely little modern hot Hatch. One thing,the indicators were working intermittently,one minute they were on next they were off!! 🤣 Stay safe and keep the vids coming.
Yeah Kev when you think you have everything covered that can be a fail a tester will find something you haven't thought about, as it is a money spinner to them and the more they make the happier they are. Cheers Matey.
in a way glad that it was just a tester MOT so you know what to expect the outcome to be, I am not sure what I would have done in the same situation, because a bit pointless when you knew the discs and pads needed changing before an MOT, but at the same time something else more important could have come up like a major welding job like the older fords were well known for at 10 years of age. so would have been a waste of time and money if the car was a writeoff as in needing say £500 in welding, as well as the discs pads etc. so I can understand sending it for a pre-mot test to check the major things that a car can fail the mot for.
whereas things like lights are only a five minute job unless you got a water bottle and battery directly blocking access to the lights!! stupid idea whoever thought of water right next to a battery, and blocking access to something that needs changing as often as a cheap £4 set of bulbs. which can be as little as every month or two.
That front grille is so easy to remove ... made life harder for yourself LEDs all round Hi Level brake light strobe 6500k on the front, number plate and reverse get it tuned up, 5,000 bhp
why so many concerned about workbench getting paint on it ? 1: helps preserve it. 2: be a different colour next time , like the house change colour scheme just get the job done it IS a tool for being being used , no an effin ornament !! lmao :-)
I'd be pretty chuffed at that result 😁 Are you going to do all 4 springs or is it just both fronts/both rears that have gone? It's a pretty common Ford thing, don't know why but there's so many fords about with broken springs Discs are wear and tear so no major failures at least 👍 Yippee 😁 I hope you're going to use good spring compressors and not £10 ECP special 😂 We don't want you getting decapitated, have you seen the bloody things when they fail 😬
@@KevTee I understand the need for adverts and I do appreciate the reply. As a Focus ST and Fiesta ST owner we love stuff on our cars. The wife has the Fiesta ST. Had it since 40,000 miles and now on 140,000 so we know it quite well. Thank you. Phil.
Surely you could have found some newspaper or cardboard and saved your bench?! I have to ask- if you’ve been training a new guy this week, is the passenger seat in the wee Renault as uncomfortable as the drivers one?
It really is simple and theres many videos covering it. The principle remains the same regardless of the make/model. Remove the fluid from the reservoir, start with the wheel furthest away from the reservoir. Etc etc Be prepared for bleed nipples to snap off if they haven't been touched for a while. Beware that brake fluid is highly corrosive to paintwork and skin Also take care to dispose of it properly Make sure your new brake fluid is new and bought recently and kept sealed until you use it. Never leave the bottle of fluid with the top off as it absorbs water and it will ruin it and your braking system 👍
@@jamie123b That's not the case. They can't charge for a retest within 10 days if the work is done at the garage. 2 days if it's taken away 👍 If you've got two number plate lights, only one needs to work and you'll get an advisory for the other 👍 It's a simple enough fix though so it's worth doing beforehand
@@sammytheseal2307 oh OK good to know. I will probs do it before then. Also my reversing light has been out for well over a year, but passed with no advisories last mot. The reverse bulbs are fine so I think it is the reverse switch under the car but I don't know how to change it
@@jamie123b Yes reverse light is also only a fail on cars after 2008/2009 I believe. Are you getting any voltage at the light fitting? If so then could be a bad earth/corrosion causing high resistance. If not, check the fuse Then you can try the switch Look underneath the car at the gearbox. You'll see a cable with 2 wires feeding into it with a black multiplug. Disconnect it and unscrew the switch from the gearbox. (You may lose some gearbox oil so have something handy to plug the hole) You can test it on the bench with a multimeter if you have one, you may be lucky and be able to clean the switch up. But they're cheap enough to replace if it's faulty/you can't test it Hope that helps 👍

Am I the only one watching the painting of those trim pieces open jawed wondering what did your workmate ever do to you to get that much overspray?
hehe, I thought that
Me too 😂
I think he got more paint on the bench than the trim 😂
haven't you heard of newspaper kevtee ?
glad U said that. Now I don't need to comment :)
forgot to test rear fog lights
Minor failures kev..see when your fitting bulbs try not to touch the lense itl cause a heat spot then they'll blow..look forward to next vid 👍
really like what you do kev tee,allways look everyday here on youtube at yourchannel ,all the best from len crawley west sussex

@KevTee you will need a caliper wind back tool to push the pistons back on the rear calipers looking forward to seeing this back on the road
or a G clamp?

You can cover the screwdriver with cloth or paper towel to minimise the risk of paint damage. 👍
Kev , tut you should of put some cling film on the jaws of your work-mate , take this as an official bollocking .
Best Car ever😊👍
Great video kev glad you got the lights working shame the car failed the mot hope you get the problems sorted and fixed stay safe
That wasn't too bad, better than my Iveco😳 but she is done now and the drive is much better! See you in the brake refurb video
Looking forward to that brake pads vid please make it well detailed :)
Hi Kev,

Great video Kev, looking forward to the next videos changing the disks pads and springs
Nice one Kev, thank you. 👍

Hi Kev under now video this week as you needed to train the new driver and looking forward to seeing your video next Sunday
Hi Kev happy it passes the mot without then advisors
Nice work, the car is neer to ready.
This throw away world we live in. Madness. Glad this car has been an easy fix up to now.
Next project fiesta eco boost 😂
Shout it louder for the people in the back 🗣️🗣️🗣️📢📢
Just because it won't start.... Don't throw it away and buy a new one 😂😂
An Eco boost won't be such an easy fix 😂
@@sammytheseal2307 be a good winter project.
Nice a 🥵 warm
@@peugeotdudeandson4485 Lol 😁
Brilliant these Kev please keep doing them bud
I spent hours sorting out one of the rear number plate bulbs on my car once, ahead of an MOT
the tester said oh you only need one
D’oh!
Yeah Kev when you think you have everything covered that can be a fail a tester will find something you haven't thought about, as it is a money spinner to them and the more they make the happier they are. Cheers Matey.
So good to see you do a Ford. I don't think we got he 3-door Fiesta ST here in the USA, only the 5-door.
I didn’t think they made a 5 door Mk6 ST? I know you can’t get them in the uk anyway, I’d of preferd 5 door
Turning into a nice little car. Got eibachs for mine from Germany...took a month to get delivered
good blog mate gary from crewe
Can’t wait to see the next one. Excellent work and thanks for the awesome content stay safe and take care
Mate, the other day I saw a Trents Truck coming down my cul de sac and we literally ran out to say hello as we thought it might be you LOL it wasn't!
Fairplay m8 u got urself a cushty car there looking 4ward til the video stay safe fella👍😜👍🏼

Good Monday morning to you sir from wellington Somerset
Nice video again kev, keep up the good work mate, stay safe mate
Getting there Kev soon be out and back on the road
Get it on a trackday!
Your poor workmate Kev 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Place paint cans in warm water before spraying... just a tip.
Not a great idea really, as this is how they test cans when first filled. Bring them into the house for an hour or two before is safer!!
That front grille is so easy to remove ... made life harder for yourself
LEDs all round
Hi Level brake light strobe
6500k on the front, number plate and reverse
get it tuned up, 5,000 bhp
😂😂😂
Great vlog 👍
really like these project video's!!
why so many concerned about workbench getting paint on it ?
1: helps preserve it.
2: be a different colour next time , like the house change colour scheme
just get the job done it IS a tool for being being used , no an effin ornament !!
lmao :-)
Another great video
Brilliant vlog keV nice car
Lovely little motor kev you selling it when done.
Just to let you know you forgot rear fog light
Please edit the Trent video to say 'for a professional collection service, or Kev call Trent's' love us dude!
😂😂😂
The side light on the right side is out
May as well paint the other side of the work mate to match 😳
Nice, we send all r cars and van up without doing anything to them keep up the good work kevtee
Great video
That ain't a bad fail to be fair Kev, i thought it would fail on corrision and things , not bad for a 100k 15 year old scrap car lol
Fords and corrosion ... half expected it to have a hole in the footwell
Great video Kev. You ever come across a Citroen Saxo VTR or VTS snap it up as they seem to be going for strong money now.
Hi kev good vlog
I'd be pretty chuffed at that result 😁
Are you going to do all 4 springs or is it just both fronts/both rears that have gone?
It's a pretty common Ford thing, don't know why but there's so many fords about with broken springs
Discs are wear and tear so no major failures at least 👍
Yippee 😁
I hope you're going to use good spring compressors and not £10 ECP special 😂
We don't want you getting decapitated, have you seen the bloody things when they fail 😬
Awesome achievement kevtee it will pass next time I'm sure
Rusty tools? Burn the heretic! My idol has feet of clay.
Unlucky Kev interest video great video 👍
Nice video, but 15 second advert at the start and two others during this short video.. sorry mate.. too many interruptions...
Thanks for reminding me pal, I've now removed a couple of the auto placed ads 👍

Ah coil spring, high common fault Fiesta Mk6.
Noticed the crv in the background. Just got one myself. Is that yours or another project?
Nice video Kev but where’s the weekly vlog Sunday wouldn’t be Sunday without your weekly vlog
kev has been training a new recruit on the Renault so hasn't been able to film this week. I think the vlog should be back next week
in the next video Kev spends 2 hours getting the paint off his workbench because he forgot to put newspaper down first
Your workmate will forever remember the blue fiesta. 🤦🏻♂️
Surely you could have found some newspaper or cardboard and saved your bench?!
I have to ask- if you’ve been training a new guy this week, is the passenger seat in the wee Renault as uncomfortable as the drivers one?
nice job but next time put some scrap paper on the table when you spray! I hate painted tools
Who sings the song you played that will make a lovely car for someone
Mini copper fiyata bak şaka.gibi ya

I’m guessing the springs are from AUTODOC? Ok if you don’t mind waiting weeks for them to arrive.
Correct 👍
Not to bad kev it's still a cheap car, how's the training going with the new man?, stay safe and keep up the good work 👍👍👍
How did you get the cod overturned
Is this going to be your daily driver or are you selling / donating it after its sorted?
i have a question... how do you pay for fuel when yur are out and about collecting cars.... company card?
What's happening with the Clio?
Clio is long gone bud 👍
A few sheets of newspaper over the workmate would have been my choice first
Where did you get the performance blue spray from?
eBay mate 👍
@@KevTee awesome cheers mate, decent project too love the vids
I'm in need of flushing my fiesta brake system, so if you can please could you go into detail? Thank you!
It's already filmed but hopefully there's enough detail in there for you, pretty simple process 👍

Not part of the MOT

Where did you buy the paint from
Most probably Halfords. You can get most manufacturers colours from there, unless it's a limited edition paint type.
