Mondeo badge seems bang on, it's probably because the shape of the boot tapers at either end.
I think you're right!
Yep, bang on, its the style line of the trunk lid. Used to fit hundreds of almera badges to tail gates at work using a 'level jig' and they looked out due to the curve of tail gate.
Someone works at NMUK. Ha
@@mkm7962 Yes. I've got a mondeo and there is at least half centimetre difference between the letter M and O from the line of the top.
i like how james works on cars with a passion and try to keep them as original as possable bringing them back to there former glory hence why i have just subscribed love all is vids keep up the good work mate
thankyou adam! plenty more to come!
Yeah, fitting booat gauge in, sticking sun visor keeping egr out, reled all etc is not original is it?
@@radekmamcarz the car is a st so a boost gauge fits right in allso sun viser can be removed any time does not change the car permanent
Got an ST myself. Finding these videos really helpful. I've already had to change the springs on mine, two of the buggers snapped. I thought if I'm going to change them I might as well lower it a tad. I opted for the Eibach lowering springs. It's definitely lowered it but at the same time not slammed her. Had to have four new Tyres and have all the alloys cleaned and brushed on the inner lip. Apparently they were hanging on for dear life! I've had a new drive belt fitted; it was squealing like a goodun. Tentioner and pulleys seemed OK. Middle engine mount was banging like a beast. Just needed tightening. Bush's seemed OK. I've had a wheel bearing changed and I reckon another one has started talking to me. I'm gonna change the fuel and air filter and gonna get the oil changed. I don't trust the previous folk who said they gave her a full service. The heater on the drivers side seat isn't working (dodgy ford wiring), need to look at that. A bulb has blown on my dash display, which irks me. Just ordered some new tailgate gas struts; bloody thing keeps falling on me big sweed. My wing mirrors are lazy, need some lube. Gonna change my gear stick leather gaiter, she's ripped. Quite like the one you fitted. Overall she's in great condition. She's done 93000 on an 07 plate. Full service history. Once I get these bit n bobs sorted might go for a Remap. Might upgrade the front brakes as they aren't too clever. Keep the videos coming!
I had a mk.3 Mondeo a few years ago and really liked it. Nice to see a car being returned to its former glory. Keep up the good work, these videos are great!
Mate to avoid any future headaches replace the pollen filter and the plastic part you remove covering it , silicone it too the window as it is a common fault that lets water into the passenger side footwell
Yes, had that on my ST and my god did it take days of effort and retrying to finally seal it, eventually just stuffed it full with silicone (could smell it for weeks) - sadly sold the car due to rapidly accelerating rust and white smoke on startup even after £3k fuel system rebuild
I like how the previous owner de chromed it by just taking the chrome trim off. Fantastic 😂
Lmfao I thought the exact same thing lol
These sort of jobs are "quality of life" ones. Make no difference to performance, but they just make life that bit better and the car more satisfying to own. The sort of stuff that matters to lots of car owners out here! I'm not surprised at 50k views, it is quality content. Looking forward to the next one!
Great video! So satisfying getting bits done, got a list of 'to do' myself, subbed
Definitely best thing that’s been recommended to me in a long time, already watched all the mondeo videos. Loving this series keep it up man.
Great video! Love the direction the Mondeo is going in. Chrome strips on the doors makes all the difference.
Another great vid Jamie, loving the Mondeo project keep up the good work 👍
Hello. Mondeo owner from Norway here. Your LSD screens should also light up. Those are T5 1.2w ones, one for each lsd display. They untwist like the T10 ones, but lower down on the backside. The electric contact can be released by pulling a little handle. Just make sure the LSD don't lay down as that can damage them. Cheers!
Refreshing to see a normal guy running a normal car and doing the jobs to get it back to tip top condition. Im a recent subscriber whos now going to go back through your older videos. Im also a mondeo man;)
Evening James, congratulations on the 40k subs, amazing achievement to get in the new year. I would love to see a video on you cleaning/detailing the mondeo :)
Thankyou carl i appreciate it! cleaning video coming very soon!
@@TheSavageGarage Your welcome, you deserve all your success. very much look forward to many more videos, anything else planned for the fiesta this year?
The Struts on my mondeo bonnet had gone as well. Been putting it off as it looked a pain and they would be expensive. Now i've seen you do it I've ordered same ones off ebay. And just fitted them in 5 minutes. Brilliant.
Hello from Ireland just came across your channel and subbed
Enjoying the st vids
I like the work you do, great channel and no bullshit. Subbed.
Another great video James .. Mondeo coming together... It's going to look much better when you have finished .. :-)
The reason why I subbed to your channel sir is because your restoration on the mk3 Mondeo. Not many tubers these days really get into everyday cars like the mondy. I myself have a mk3 mondeo estate. It was a great wagon until its powertrain gave up the ghost. Looking to restore it in the future probably swapping in a Caldina 3sgte powertrain into it, since ford parts are hard to come by where I am. In the meantime, I am going to enjoy the videos you put up and upcoming attention to your mondeo. Cheers!
Love your videos mate! Always good when you upload 😎
Nice video clear and concise repairs ! :)
Had my MK3 ST for 7 years, loving the videos James.
Excellent video's bruv keep it up love watching any video you do. Not bothered on what the car is you make it fun and interesting. Keep it up ps love the mondeo
Looking forward to seeing the Mondeo getting a well deserved service
Really pleased the chrome strips went back on looks so much better
Was linked to you this week, following this series with interest. Got a ST220 hatch so will be interested to see how you find running the ST diesel. Subbed mate.
Yeeesss good lad nice videos and I nearly bought a silver saloon tdci but bitched out and got a merc instead cos of the amount of common faults on them can’t wait for the alloys to be re done and a full detail it’s goin to be a nice smoker 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Keep up the good work mate. Ive been following you since last year and really enjoy watching you work on all the cars. Looking forward to see how the mondeo progresses over the next few vids.
Thankyou mate! glad you plan on sticking around!
The mondeo badge looks slanted because of the curve in the boot lid at the top
Black induction hose, to keep it stealth and not too obvious
This.
I commented something during the Corsa 1.8 project about you growing because you’re doing things most people don’t do, super car restoring are cool but come On. A mondeo restoration that even a guy like me can afford it amazing and now you’re at 40K+. Booom
Keep up with the Mondeo videos James. Interested to see where you go them. I Had three of these MK3 cars in the past and two where ST tdci aswell. Great driving cars. Cheers Peter
Love the colour of this car, cannot wait to see it sparkling. Keep up the good work, very interesting to watch. 👍
Top video enjoyed it looking forward to the injector seals video.
Well done James, it looks much better for putting things back to the original trim spec.
Loving these Mondeo videos keep them coming
“Trome” looks much better now good job. Also I’d go for blue for the induction hose. Great video as always 👍
Hi mate, I got a Mondeo TDCi as well. I fixed 2 diesel leaks just by nipping up the 17mm connectors so try that first! I need to do my dash bulbs and bonnet struts as well. Already done all 4 springs and shock absorbers, all brakes, wishbones, starter motor, water pump, and more lol.
Hit 40k. Congrats!!
Brilliant days work, really like the gaiter.
Looking forward to watching the injector video.
Thanks for sharing.
Ash🏴
cheers ash!
Congrats on 40k ma man
Oh Goodie so many issues, means more content, I really enjoyed this one. Good work
Great video as always 😎 looking good on the subs 40000 and climing 👍
Good clear footage and vocal yet again. I have a mk4 mondeo that have only had a few months and looking for some insight into removing some interior and exterior trim without damaging it and looking forward to see you doing the injector seals. They won't be that different to mine and may give me some confidence in tackling mine.
Amazing channel, this is helping me out so much. I want to be a mechanic at Audi so I'm starting motor vehicle in college this year, I also want to start my own professional detailing business too so that will be happening in the next couple of years. I've started my own little detailing business now, keep up the good work !!!!
I need to redo the struts for my boot, and bonnet for my Mondeo so thank you for showing how!
Coming along nicely! Most people put the pre facelift window surrounds on if they’re doing a chrome delete, looks like you got lucky there! Don’t know if it’s the same on diesels (I’ve got a 220) but the bits of trim that are covered in carbon fibre around the gear gaiter and clock are generally silver, matches in nice with the rest of the door cards etc, same for the steering wheel bits between the centre and the rim. Looking forward to seeing more of this 👍
Watched a few vids now, earned my sub :)
Looking so much better so far. Chrome round the windows makes such a difference.
Love your channel. Fiesta excellent, Astra excellent, on part 7 of Corsa engine swap and I’m hooked. Oh and mondeo excellent lol. Can’t wait for the next instalment.
Stumbled across the chanel new sub love the ford vids
Hi James I love watching all car's fix it will give me an idea what car I want the vauxhall corsa everything u done on it is fabulous look good too hopefully I'll pass my theory test struggling atm
Regarding removing the bonnet struts, make sure you lever out those little spring clips. Also lever out the spings on the now ones so they pop on easily.
Loving the channel & great car, I've got an 06 plate. X2 for getting a decent diesel filter, Bosch or Delphi, the ST tdci is very fussy about them. Fill with diesel using a syringe or small funnel as engine doesn't prime it, if you just keep cranking the fuel through on starter you could damage the fuel pump which are crazy money and quite fragile on these.
Keep up the good work.
nice job changing everything by yourself and sharing with us thanks !!!
Thankyou!
Looking good, much better with the chrome trim on, de-chroming is fine but not taking it off and leaving the door full of holes, what was he thinking LOL. Glad you're losing the red badges and foglight trim but red stitching and ST logo are fine, nice and subtle. I'm definitely following this build.
Love the videos as always - Just started out making car videos, I'm hoping one day I'm as successful as yourself! Keep up the great work!
Tip actually looked cool other way round tbh 🤣 new to channel. Subscribed. I hate fords I’m a proper Honda boy but I’ve always liked these mondeos and have secretly had 2 of these 😬🤣
Keep up the good work mate love your videos very helpful
And entertaining
Thanks will!
Nice work James
Good job mate!
Hello there, I love watching your videos on your car projects. Keep up the good work, its giving me inspiration to get the jobs done on my car. Keep up the good work :)
Thankyou nick!
Your getting there mate it will look good in the end. I am looking forward to seeing the wheels done 👍👍
yea ned to get the wheels done soon!
@ the savage garage...Mate when you order the parts for it definitely get the decent bosch fuel filter or Delphi one only! Also upon changing it fill it up with a syringe with fresh clean diesel or redex diesel treatment otherwise it's a nightmare to start or gets an air lock! In my opinion also get the castrol magnatec fully synthetic 5/30 ford version. I have tried many others and the magnatec seems to keep the clattery diesel sound a bit quieter and I think the cars runs smoother. A bit more expensive but worth it in my opinion. I think it improves the mpg slightly too!
Hi James,it does look a lot better inside the car now,and the bonnet struts,I would paint the fog light surrounds silver,and the wheels need to be as well.
The wheels should stay because that's what it was from factory
Well done mate another enjoyable vid keep it up bro 👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏
cheers alistair
Everytime i watch your vids on your Mondeo makes me wanna get one to yours looks so good mate 😁
"Trome" coined by James, Jan 2019. LOL top video again man :) (new subscriber, watched most of your project series')
Well done , the red badges were a nasty addition. Great video!
Looking forward to the wing mirror replacement. My nearside doesn't work so I'll be glued to that one. Good vids so far mate
cheers shaun! ill be sure to do a little more info for you
Like watching these mondeo ST videos, makes me feel like keeping mine and showing it some love.....
do it!
All small jobs that improve the car massively .... fingers crossed getting wheels repainted silver is on the list
Wicked well done m8
Loveing the st mate
cheers tommy!
Usually after I eat a throme, I experience awful afterburner effects.....so I definitively know what you meant, dude.
haha!
Love your doing a mondeo iv got a 2007 2.0 tdci. I see the egr is blanked mine was so gunged up thinking of blanking it. have you considered removing the manifold and seeing if the soot has been cleared? can be very restricting. It's a job I need to do as well.did my dash lights a couple of weeks ago as well. Keep up the good work.
Seen some TH-camrs barely scraping 50k views on videos and here you are at 40k subs getting 51k views :D
I appreciate the views big time!

A result there James. Small jobs but they make a big difference. Don't buy cheap LEDs on eBay. They won't last. CrazyLEDs sell decent quality LED bulbs. I used them on my Mk4 Astra and they were still going strong the day I got rid of the car. Congrats on the 40K subs. I'm in a similar position with my BMW. I've got a few bits on order and I'm hoping to do everything at once in a single video.
Great vid 👍 thinking go chrome on them front fogs 🤔
Well done James I like what you doing keep up the good work mate time you done it should look a tidy car
Great stuff, new subcriber
Looking for seeing you do injector seals as I have the same problem with my tdci
Good stuff👍
15:43 Originals are probably 501 Halogen bulbs. These LED were probably fitted by the previous owner. The common problem with LED is: Although they were supposed to last longer, but only at their specified 12v environment. A running car is usually running at 14 to 14.6 volts, the extra 2-2.6v kills the 12v LED.
(I had these 12v 501 LED in my old headlights. Tried lots of different ones. Shortest one lasted 3 days. Longest one lasted a month. Eventually I just changed then entire headlight assembly to Angel Eye with HID headlight.)
I think I would have changed the gear knob at the same time but looking good so far. 😎
Half expecting that old shift boot to shout out griffindore haha
Another good vid.I do like the black on blue look but understand why you want to return it to standard.One thing I'm wondering do the st,s come with blue backlit dials and switches?I really like the look of the centre counsel all lit blue.You are making me want to find one of these for my next motor you do have the best colour.
What job do you do as your videos are always in depth and i enjoy them. Are you a mehcanic or something? Love your videos mate keep it up
7:24, definately didn't hear something about putting multi-purpose grease on both balls.
Gotta keep the balls greased up mate!
vaseline is good too!
Have you thought about getting it wrapped? If a respray is out of the question, maybe prepping the body by filling in divots and smoothing lumps at home, ready for a professional wrap might be an idea?
(You could even do it yourself but you'd need some space shelter and tools)
looks much better well done pipe blue
Hi james the Mondeo badge looks ok to me i think its the boot edge giving the illusion that its not straight.like your decision on the fog lamp surrounds a little to much red. Your air intake pipe i think should be red to carry on the ST red theme it is nice to get a car you've brought your own touch another good video james as all ways
the lights behind the cluster i removed and replaced with LEDs video over my channel, good to see some one else working on a ST. Wonder who you got the car from might be someone i know from a ST car club. Im working on alloy refurb at the moment.
Hi mate love the vids...I've got a tdci ghia...doing it up slowly...I need to do a few things to it like blanking egr valve ect....just wondering what's your plans with the red ford badges lol...good vids mate 👍
I bought Mondeo mk3 2.0TDCi in Ghia few weeks ago. Your step-by step guide is inspiration for me. I got to tottaly take out dials, because my check engine and ignition preheat (i dont know how is it in english) LEDs are not working at all. And many other small problems. Thanks you!
youre welcome!
You have me wanting one of these now 🤣🤔
I had put in the Lockwood white dial kit and replaced the bulbs while I was at it. Looked the mutts nuts back then.
Defo blue on the induction hose if gonna respray that other cover be a nice bit of detailing in the engine bay
Tint spray you can normally take off with some petrol on a rag, no need to wet sand. Car is starting to look much better 👌
That oil could just be where previous owner missed the hole when topping up. Clean around the seals then observe.
you make me want to get another mondeo!
