great video fords are shit now reminds me of old ford sierra bushes what chance as DIY have does that have a wet timing belt does 0/30w not rot them cheap bushes and van not too old
The Rear wheel drive models - there should be a simple bolt in transmission cross-member replacement. It only ever rots where it catches the undercarriage wind, rots at the stamped rolled lip. There needs to be a fast, cut trans cross-member and bolt in replacement. Instead of having to drop the subframe on BOTH models no matter WHERE the rot is located. Just about the most stoopid design - this is a PHD engineers solution... "Eureka - one big bolt, holds it all together. By Joe, one bolt, that's it!".
Great video. Not sure if you can help. I have a 2017 Custom. It has 20inch wheels. We are trying to fit Ralyplapz mudgurds. Problem - the n/s front there is not enough clearance between tyre and mudflap when turning steering. Have had a full steering geometry check which is all good. Any idea what could be wrong ? Can the subframe be moved to get more clearance? suggestions
Did something similar but without cutting old wishbone as only bought new rear bushes . Offside rear bolt doesn't seem to be holding as if thread stripped on captive nut ?
You forgot to drop the hot bolt on the floor then pick it up 2 seconds later and be surprised how hot it still is : )
😂😂😂😂
Thanks Baz. What pens are you using to date components?
Paint pens off Amazon £9 for a pack of different colours

Unless the diy have an extensive tool collection they don't stand a chance
Good work sir well done.
