Someone has done this to a MK3 Mondeo on www.STDriveRS.co.uk - should be helpful info with adjustments to suit the Fiesta.

Looks good though would think there'll be a bit more resistance closing hatch, though has the weight behind it.

also found this :D

Ordered two, one for me and one for a friend (who's a little bit older and would probably find it really useful and not just a toy like for me :D).

Another guide coming up, my friend?..

Just out of interest though, as someone who generally uses the boot release rather than the remote key to open the boot, would this mean using the boot release would also make the boot fly open?
