- So project ono, my fiesta st almost was no more. a very very basic effort on my part stopped it getting stolen. they went for the obd2 port after smashing the window but it wasnt where its supposed to be, they then left.
Why can’t people just accept another’s personal achievements and belongings, scumbags
a trick: you can watch movies on flixzone. Been using them for watching all kinds of movies during the lockdown.
@Aydin Ira Definitely, been watching on flixzone} for months myself :)
@Aydin Ira Yup, I've been using flixzone} for months myself :)
@Aydin Ira Yea, I've been watching on Flixzone} for since november myself =)
@Aydin Ira yup, been watching on Flixzone} for months myself :D
Cut a odb port off a scrapper and place where original should be .wire up a capacitor to it with a simple circuit to the car to keep the cap charged - it’ll wreck there kit if they try and plug in
You should do a video on showing how to do it
Everyone knows that trick now.
Imagine you took the car to the local garage and forgot to tell them 😂😂😂
Thats the one
Kris Nicholson yea old school used to have a sierra with the ignition wired with a few switch’s in the way
Looks like that plastic cubby OBD" door was just too much security for them to crack haha xD
Haha yes it was.
Sorry to hear it mate, glad you moved the OBD as it's incredibly easy to steal the STs via OBD (mine was done just like they tried to do yours). All because the body control module is live all the time, so they can plug in pre-coded box to disarm the immobiliser, code a new key and drive off. You may want to consider a Cobra or Viper alarm, Disklok for visual deterrent and a Ghost if you're extra-paranoid.
Its a known issue with fords that the obd is easily accessible, only takes 5-10 mins to code a new key and they're off.
And try go to a key shop, get them to wipe all keys and add your ones back they might of coded their own and left to take it another time.
@@frankiejames1120 Seems to be the same with the mark 7 Golf Rs as well, hampshirephoto brought this up in an old video of his from when he had his 7.5 Golf R. Car companies should really figure out a more definitive solution to stop thieves from producing counterfeit keys so they can make off with the cars honestly. Problem is that it's quite hard and new problems will likely surface most likely which is a real shame.
It's literally like attempting to hijack someone else's personal accounts online by bypassing phone authentication from simply claiming you're that person and you need a new SIM because something's wrong with the one you have. Believe it or not, people have gotten away with it before and it's almost completely fucked over whoever owned the accounts in the first place. If you're wondering, this has happened to a few prolific personalities on here before. You're probably unfamiliar with tech channels but the person who owns the biggest tech channel on CZcams, Linus Sebastian of Linus Tech Tips, he was affected by it back in like 2017 I think. Luckily all of his accounts got locked down and he regained access to everything within hours.
Imagine though if that happened to someone without a big following and they weren't able to retrieve their accounts, that would be devastating - just like it would be to have your Golf GTI, Golf R or Fiesta ST, your pride and joy get hijacked because of its keyless push-button ignition system which can be bypassed way easier than it is to get new car keys cut for an ignition barrel.
To be honest if I were to get a Golf GTI, Golf R/32 or a Fiesta ST, I would at least have a second layer of security in case something like this were to happen to me. I will probably get as much as I can get, some people can even have the decency to group up and even jump or knock you out clean just to steal your car in the worst of scenarios. I saw a video on here last night as part of a compilation where a woman drove back home in her BMW X5, looked all fine but then a gang came out of nowhere and took her down clean just to rob her for the X5. Literally like what the fuck...
My st was stolen a few weeks ago using this method. On CCTV they smash the window with a police type baton, put something in the car then they are fiddling with something huddled against the wing mirror. Then magically all the lights come on. They open the door get in and drive off. 4 minutes from arrival to theft. Also they were very careful not to hit the walls and garages in the lane. I don't know if this was to avoid airbags going off or it was stolen to order. I live in Caerphilly. Thanks for this video it helps me understand what happened to my pride and joy.
6:13 “Nuggets man” 🤣
Good to see you again Steve
Sorry it’s under such circumstances bud 😡 you just wouldn’t get tired of kicking the bastards in the face
Here in Nottingham, only a couple of months ago we had a spate where BMW M3's were being nicked. 3 went missing in one night and they was all blue cars in the same area.
Returned to find my car with the engine running and the steering wheel hanging off. Saved by a simple stoplock pro I'd bought second hand jyst a few weeks before.
Must be local people if you was away on holidays,word of mouth knowing you wasn’t home,I bet they’re right on your door step Steve,hope you find out who it was,hope you find the motivation to make videos again,I in joy the channel,can’t you get a quick release steering wheel for the st,they will see it’s no steering wheel then will not bother,have a dig around tho,this was done by someone that knew you was away I think.
They probably watch videos aswell
Dai Bennett quick release wheel still wouldn’t put them off if there going to take it they will find away (grips)
Unlucky man. I had mine done twice on the same car park. Cut through my steering wheel the second time to try and get my steering wheel lock off. They didnt even cut the steering wheel in the right place to get it. Some stupid theves about!
Yeah iv seen that alot, they just tape it back up
Only in Wales would someone try and steal a fiesta St, meanwhile in London lads stealing audi rs4/RS6 Mercedes Amgs lol
Fiesta's & Focus's are getting stolen all over the UK, not just in Wales. They very common cars to get stolen.
@@pocketrocket1237 why? They shit. Mostly owned by 17 year olds who hang around in McDonald's car parks picking up 14 year olds 😂
@@m140jam5 exactly young, more accidents and more demand in parts
@@pocketrocket1237 Ford fiestas are the most sold car in the UK, Parts isn't an issue 😂
monkeyboy 1992 you clearly dont know about the theft problems with the st
Had this happen to me on my ST but they struggled getting pass the wind reflector to the odb port that isn't there( I moved it and removed the fuse) the worst bit was my insurances recommend glass replacement couldn't come out till two days later so I took it to the nearest place it cost me £200 bought my self a wheel and brake lock
Sorry to hear this mate, some people just can't leave things alone.
Good to see you again Steve, just a shame it's to show us this.
I hope you get the enthusiasm back for making videos, really missed them.
Hope you get it fixed ok.
Have you thought of getting a Disklok?
they broke into a friends house 3 times for the keys over 12 mths then eventualy took it.. the essex crims must be a little behind or just off the heads
wayneuk tell them to get drop down bollards
Disclock over wheel. Thieves wont bother trying then
It's disheartening when something like this happens, as all you've done is work hard to have the things you enjoy in life. Then there's the things people don't see, i.e. cleaning up the glass is a right pain in the arse (literally), as your forever finding it in places where it shouldn't be. Also there's the hassle of sorting a replacement window (if you choose to do it yourself), and ultimately even though it's no fault on your part, somehow insurance company's will end up charging you more in the long run, it's just endless.
One thing you could consider, is to take the glass out of your track car Fiesta as a replacement, and then upgrade the track car to polycarbonate windows lol, still bloody annoying though.
Can't believe how many comments I see on CZcams and forums complaining about keyless entry being a security risk - do you all not know you can disable that feature and just use the buttons on the keyfob instead? Literally the first thing I did when I got mine. Yeah, thieves could still smash the window and plug into the OBD port but at least it's slightly more effort and noisier (potentially drawing attention to what they're doing) than relay theft.
My ST was stolen this morning. Why the hell would ford make it this easy?! Scandalous man.
Around 25 seconds to nick a Trafic via OBD. I put a thatcham approved locking box around mine just in case. Just letting you know mate.
Where did you get that from
Sadly where I live these cars are the most popular for getting stolen .😞
They're like that everywhere really, the keyless stuff is hilariously crap, unless you keep your keys in a metal box they can just relay it with a cheap device and drive away, no broken windows needed. Even 80s cars were harder to steal...
I drove passed a couple days ago as I deliver in your area and was gutted for you mate
I read an article recently, mentioning that Ford's have said on the late fiestas you can get an alternative key that turns off after 40 seconds of inactivity and only works within a 2 metre range. I think it's about 70 quid for a Fiesta one and The Focus one is slightly more . This still won't help people that leave them uncontained near a front door or porch. Hope this helps others .
>>>>>>>>>> Hi mate, you need a sign in your window that reads >>>>>>>>>>>
" ATTENTION" Burglars Please Carry ID So We Can Notify Next Of Kin. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Been a victim myself mate I wasn’t as lucky as you as I saw my st3 being driven away 😩
What happens in a situation like that if your car was genuinely stolen (a modded car too). It's not as if the insurance company can replace it with an identical one with the exact same mods etc. Do they just pay out the full value of your car?
Soarific
I was lucky that I only had it two months so the insurance cleared the total finance balance less £100.
Greenlight insure the car to the value of its current condition e.g the value of the car and then x amount ontop that would get a similar spec to what it was. Its not like for like but get the idea
@@Soarific not if the mods aren't declared. and even then you have to check your policy as they may still only pay out to the book price. Undeclared mods can completely invalidate an insurance policy even if they weren't the reason the car was stolen.
Best thing to do is get GAP insurance, ideally Vehicle Replacement GAP (or the slightly cheaper Return To Invoice GAP if you're not intending on modding). GAP saved me when my first ST was stolen, as it was ex-demo it was about two and a half years old when stolen so I wouldn't have got a new replacement ST without the GAP insurance covering the difference between book price and retail price.
My car's initial GAP policy has expired so I could get Vehicle Replacement GAP from the same provider, but they disregard any mods so it would only be to OEM standard. And you can't get the Mk. 7 ST now anyway.
Someone tried getting my titanium X this weekend, they didn’t smash the window though, they picked the lock. I caught them in my car so I locked them in and a kind stranger pulled across the road to block it off. They smashed my windscreen and left.
A 65 cent reed switch hidden somewhere and wired in line with the starter solenoid or fuel pump combined with a magnet on your keychain makes a car awfully tough to steal
Me and a vehicle mechanic tried a method of disabling the fuel pump once as an anti-theft measure. It didn't work! The engine is too efficient at drawing fuel in without a fuel pump, it ran for ten minutes - on an uphill incline (fuel tank downhill of engine!) so we abandoned that idea. There are other, better ways of disrupting the car's electronics...
@@ChristopherWoods I wasn't aware of the fuel situation but if you notice I also mentioned the starter solenoid.
That being said, I suspect that it might idle fine as you discovered but if someone were to try and drive it without the fuel pump it'd probably sputter out very quickly.
@@barrylinkiewich9688 very true. We didn't try driving it (we were halfway through soldering into the loom...) I like the idea of a few more hidden switches 😏
Really sorry you had this happen to you mate. All the best and if you need anything give me a shout.
Sorry to hear about this, it’s a tale as old as time with these cars. Had my ST2 stolen and written off the other month, Greater Manchester Police even knew who had it! They didn’t have the resources to go after him though. Feel much better with an Autowatch Ghost on my new one though
Luke Pleva auto watch ghost should be used on all high target vehicles. The amount of Fords and Landrovers and Evoques taken is a joke here in Essex
@@richardnorth5994 it's a decent system but a lot of security experts won't use it as a primary recommendation as it's not insurance approved and apparently lacks other certification, plenty of other systems such as clifford blackjax which will do the same job and more with the alarm system
Stallzyx I've not heard of that one , will be recommending , thanks for that.
My 2015 fiesta got broken into on early Friday morning. Fortunately I keep my dashcam indoors and no valuables in the car. The front passenger door was almost shut, everything in the glovebox was on the floor and my extension plug was stolen.
That extension plug was a bonus. I'm still able to use my dashcam and charge my phone with the power and USB port.
I'm not fussed about the stolen extension plug but I'm fussed about them breaking in. I always lock the car. I wonder how they got in.
It's not keyless btw.
Is your lock damaged?
@@Sparkplugsteve Nope. I don't see any signs of damage. I wiggled each one. All are firm.
After what happened, I'm more vigilant. I pull each handle after locking it.
Same happened to me .... Luckily I moved my obd too. Still got glass in the door cavity, hear it every time I shut it >_
Buy a discklok .
lol better of with a cheesecake
@@rsneil81 why?
@@rickypoole4265 there made of soft shit, pop one of with a tooth pick
@@rsneil81 They require power tools to crack open, power tools means noise. The thieving twats want the quick and easy gone in 60 seconds, not fucking about with an angle grinder at half 2 in the morning. Its a good deterrent, chances are they will just piss off to the next ST (hopefully!)
Very lucky with that Steve with the obd being pretty accessible, it would suggest they were either disturbed or total amateurs who didn't know what they were doing which seem logical given the damage they've done to the obd door that's just stupid to break that
Almost seems they where hoping to find a pound coin stash in the cubby hole, defo not intending on stealing the car making that much mess, just pure arsehole kids by the looks of that!! We all know you will have that back on the road by monday morning Steve!! Good to see you back
police knocked my door and told me to get a disklock as my car is very nickable , I still haven't got one but might look into one now..
steve b they are ace
No real surprise Fiesta is the most stolen car in Britain the ST is highly sort after.
Like the escort cosworth
Not a great situation, there's scrotes everywhere, unlucky Steve, just put it down to experience.
Nice video , keep pushing and building we look forward to more content
Would they still have needed to "jump" the signal from the key to jump start it? Glad that they failed but it must be heart breaking to deal with more damage. And I guess the Police aren't interested
No, they use the OBD port to program in a blank key so the car thinks the key in their hand is the correct one for the vehicle and then they have full access to it and can open it, start it and drive it away.
I wondered when there would be a comment about the Police. If there was any potential forensics inside the car, they were on the OBD door that Steve’s been handling so that’s all gone. Also if there were no witnesses, CCTV and no potential for any SOC evidence then they would provide you with a crime number for your insurance and if any other evidence came to light then it could be revisited
If you had a full grey disklok, they wouldn't of touched the window. The videos you do and you dont secure your car with a disklok ?
No don't own one. Their a right hassle to use and I Don't care about the car enough to put up with the agro of using one.
@@Sparkplugsteve very true they are but they put off thieves and saves your window. As now its going to be hassle to get all glass out and money to replace. Rather see more content from you than seeing your car being stolen in future.
Was the fuse taken out for the OBD port? I’ve done this on my fiesta ST but not sure if it actually prevents the car from being stolen?
These people need a beating. I’m sick of this shit, just owning a mk7 fiesta ST is getting to be like the old cosworth days
I'd be more worried that they knew you had gone away and then the day after tried to nick it. Plant it somewhere and watch.
Were you curly watts from coronation street?
Yes. Got fed up of raquel so decided to do CZcams instead.
I presume you have contacted the police and reported the break in? Any finger prints found? I dunno much about Fords security other than is being a bit crap, If they had got to the OBD2 port is there any chance they can now come back to the car and nick it quietly now? Like making a key or some shite like that?
That's the trouble with a fast ford, thought it'd only be the likes of the focus rs, but nope. You can't have anything nice these days, sad bitter world
Nowt worse than theiving bastards trying their luck with your stuff. I'm glad you didn't lose the motor Steve.
I think I’m more annoyed than yourself.. I just hate the way people do this stop stealing other people’s things. I wish sometimes we would use other countries laws/rules where they would chop a hand off for a theft then it would never happen!
If the law was right in this country people who Steel cars wood have their hands cut off I'm confident that reduce theft
you know what the thefts of these cars is beyond me i know they are "easy" to steal but so many of these get stolen i see loads of facebook and i can't imagine how many get stolen that aren't on facebook I have all the security immobilizer disklok fake obd and a faraday pouch and I'm still scared of attempted thefts because the thieves aren't gonna know how secure it is until they attempt it.
oiks who deserve to die..slowly
be carefull steve.. they may be back...
They may have coded a spare key..
you fix it up the damage then it dissapears
think you can erase keys in the ecu coded to car
then redo them..
Maybe.. ;)
Disloks yeah rite.. im not leaving any info on here regarding them...
Steve your a hardworking self employed guy like myself and anything we can do to help...
N x
i feel you bro, hopefully everything is ok
Ford design is honestly rubbish..
why do thieves go for these odb ports? sorry to sound stupid i'm not a big car guy but i own a fiesta
They have a electronic device they plug in and it allows them to have full control of the car. So they can turn alarm off, unlock the car and then start and drive off in it.
That’s how they connect their laptop to the car and nick it. But he’s lucky cuz the cable is hanging and hidden by tucking it in so when the tried for it they couldn’t find it and connect
Arseholes mate gutted :( Hope you get your video making mojo back soon buddy
Why no disklock mate???
that would be a good video on stopping cars being pinched. Glad it never got pinched
Hi Steve I done a video on my channel on a immobiliser your car can never be stolen if you get one of them fitted 👍 people work hard for there stuff
Chris hi Chris you are right but for now this immobiliser is stopping cars from being taken and you get a money back guarantee
Chris if you do some research on the immobiliser google it I’m trying to help as many people with this as I can this works on all different types of cars with this immobiliser even with the original keys still can’t be stolen incredible kit
Chris check resurwreck autos Uk channel he done a video he has one on he’s range.
I’m going to sound naive but this was outside on the street no noise from broken glass or alarm?
People probably didn't say anything untill his Neighbours they probably thought is just a false alarm.
Often the alarm doesn't go off as there's a blind spot with the OEM cabin sensor right where they punch through the window. If they do a neat job, it just leaves a hole big enough for their arm to reach in.
@@ChristopherWoods ya it's near the triangle window why doesn't the deadlock do anything didn't Toyota have that 2
Sell it and buy a Fiat 500L, you’ll be lucky if someone stole that if you left it with keys running outside your house,
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤️
The multipla of the modern day lol
"Just nuggets mun" 😂😂
Where I live in wigan, we have just had 3 st fiesta's stolen in 2 days that I know of.
Nice to see someone who lives in the same area as me - also that's scary :O
How is it giving away secrets mate? It won't affect you by saying the best way you know of to protect these cars... Surely your helping fellow owners?
Workmate had his stolen by the jammer tactic.parked up went back 30 min later for his sandwiches and gone.then he remembered a van parked up with 2 blokes on laptops behind where he parked..too late
Maybe the thieves will watch this and come back
That's what I'm hoping 😊
Sounds to me that you're bored of Fiestas didn't seem that bothered even when you mentioned your race Fiesta being stolen maybe a change of cars what you need mate get into Audis S4 that's my weapon at the moment Far Cry from any Fiesta I enjoy your videos keep going mate
I still really enjoy the fiesta and would he gutted if my track one was stolen. But the one in this video I had no attachment too really.
My tuned fiesta more than kept up with a audi s4 on the a12 they are quick cars
If I had a high risk car(let alone 2) I'd have cameras especially with it so close to the house it's easier to get good detail. I've got the high risk transit instead, the amount of attempts to get in by trying the handles I've lost count of but I get motion notifications and just know looking at the screenshot without needing to look at the video, had it broken into 5 times in the past 4 month, last time with the £20 decoder key and every time they've left the satnav (came with it so I'm not arsed) and took aftershave, unplugged chargers from the charger and left the charger plugged in, a pair of magic gloves?? And a makita battery and charger. Deffo suggest 1 at the front and one at the back watching each 'cause you'd be surprised how much happens and how often stuff happens
Same thing happens to me except the stuck a screwdriver through the door to get in😡 dummy obd saved my car well worth the £10 it cost me
And where does the real obd port go if you get a dummy
@@tomdude75 just tuck it up into the dash
@@Jack-fs5hs ohh ok, won't they be able to uptuck it themselves though
@@tomdude75 don’t think they will mess around too much. Depends where the car is I guess
@Jack-fs5hs that is true, they want to be in and out as quick as possible without making any noise.
I would also recommend getting pedal locks to go alongside a steering wheel lock. Make it as hard and long for them as possible, so hopefully someone will hear something
Hey Spark plug steve, I am sparky the spark plug nice to meet you kid
So you did nothing to protect it then just waffle
Gutted for you mate. Some absolute scum bags around. Fingers crossed for you they don’t come back another time 😏
Hi Steve, how easy is it to disconnect starter button? Thanks
Sorry about your car , these are just scum bags removing the odb port is a much better option and window badge to say so may have saved your window who knows ?
Iv got an E60 M5 and the guy who owned it before me had the OBD plug cut and a different plug installed to stop this happening
Ye i was just gonna say that, or i would just unpin the plug and remove it out of the car.
Sounds Welsh 🏴
Don't lie you love cleaning glass
Robbing scumbags in this world carnt go out. And work hard for a living I believe in karma hopefully they get there's one day
The best solution is a disclock around £100 they will move on when they see a car fitted with a disclock🤨
I swear, I'm going to leave a fucking shotgun trap in my vehicles. A guy that lives down my street takes 5 minutes to start his car and 5 minutes to lock his ST because of all of safety locks he has in place.
Could you please do a video on putting a kill switch from the fuel pump?
I have some tricks on mine but I can't film or disclose it but the simplest thing to do is just remove the start button. It's small and easy to take with you.
These fiesta st are targeted alot
My Sister just got one i told her to debadge it. She lives on an estate. (Pimp it down)
Not too bad of an Idea, I was gonna do that to my old one, Bodykit & Alloys are too noticable seeming the ST-Line uses different body kits etc. (Front bumper)
So, you went on holidays for a week and you didn't remove the start button as you do on shady areas? Hum...
sorry to hear
Only thinking last night haven't see a video from in a while you got fairly lucky as regards damage I fit car alarms for over 20 years and seen some theft attempts cars left in bad states
CAN GUARANTEE ITS A BUNCH OF KIDS THEY BEEN CAUSING TROUBLE AROUND TONYPANDY AREA THERE ABOUT 15-17
If you have a driveway just buy a couple drop down bollards and you should be good.
Hit me up if you want to sell ono
I'm thinking of it
Well if you do. Dm me and I’ll drop you my number
Sad
Onoo
Hope you had a good holiday
Yes thank you.
just for instance now people know where you hide your keys so they can break in your house and take the keys and now youve shown your obd port is still there so you need to asap sort them out now
Na let them have it . I really don't care about the car.

disklok is a must have for any ST/RS. If i don't fit my disklok and anything happens to the car I've got a nice 3 grand compulsory excess to pay out xD
Three grand compulsory excess? How much is your insurance?
@@andymakethetea 800 Quid, I have a MK3.5 Focus ST, all mods declared and I'm only 25. The ST's/RS's take 20 seconds to steal and it costs the insurance company hundreds of thousands in claims.

Looks like amateurs tbh mate they did not even know how to open obd port
