Just a tip, I have used with loads of my cars when flushing... go to a cheap home shop like home bargins etc and buy 2x flat oven trays... drive over then and then turn your wheels, it will save your tyres and your drive way :)
I was the same, a little carefree with the jack stands. But I learned my lesson having my ST slipping of the jack, and the jack demolishing the oil filter, which meant borrowing a car for a 2 hour long drive from the middle of nowhere, on a Sunday, to spend 50 quid on new oil and filter. And after all that, it was a 4 hour drive back home. Oh what a fun day it was... Never again.
The way I did it. Not sure if it will help… instead of having to jack the car and keep turning the wheel.. unplug your ht leads from the spark plugs.. then turn the car over a little. Top the fluid up and repeat it doesn’t come out as fast as if the car starts so you can keep up with topping it back to up flush the bad stuff
Just done mine, garage wanted £55 plus vat, done it myself for £20 ( why do garages insist on saying plus vat, just give me the price bellends)!! Cheers fella
@@FF04ORD yeah, I bought two litres. Also, can you tell me the Ford Specification Number for the part you have used? Is it important to be red or can it also be green? I'm asking because online I cannot find anything about the color of the oil nor the part number
@@FF04ORD make your own with a focus reservoir and some silicone hose ;) less than half the price. You can get the block off/hose connection part online too
Not sure if you will reply but very helpful if you do!! To flush it should I do it with the engine on or off, I didn’t know wheels turn with the engine off or do they?

so this is what to do if you don't have a jack or axle stands?
@@kerchingcash why bother jacking and messing about? also needs the car to be level to do a propper job

Great tutorials. I think you should do a video for changing the gearbox oil aswell 👍🏼
Ben Lomax thanks. May do in a future video 👍🏻
Good video Steve, keep it up your doing great👌👌
Nice video bro I’ve just got one of these and what was left of fluid boiled out on me so this will come in handy 😂
Sick Will no probs glad you enjoyed

PMSL think they make it sound cheaper.. never works
How much oil have you put in the car (in litres)? I need to know this because I have to buy the oil for my fiesta
Service wise? Sure I’ve done an st150 service video

Just shows these need frequent changing. Think you both should relocate it for ease.
Zain K too tight to spend £120 on one ☺️

Do not flush with the engine on. the pump will cause the fluid to pump out extremely quick. Just do as shown in the video.
@@FF04ORD did you have the ignition half on or was it totally turned off? During the flush btw
@@ajayxo6712 you need the ignition on. if its off the steering lock will activate.
Nice one!! I need to do this on mine!!! Mine looks like tar
Lol its so easy to do! should have done this a long time ago! makes the steering abit lighter too 😀
FF04ORD guess what video will be coming soon haha
@@DJLloydy ..... 😋 how to change blinker fluid? will look forward to it
FF04ORD that’s another video idea haha
I'll have to do mine it's done 25,000 from new still cherry red but I will change anyway.
fiesta st150 it can’t hurt 👍🏻
So off I go to change it!
How much fluid did you need to do the flush and bring it to level?
I cant remember exactly but i'm sure I mention it in the video 👍
Ford wants to charge me £225 for this, the cents!
How many litres do you think you used for one car?
WTF... i think it was half a bottle, if you watch the video as its been awhile lol
I used to work for fords and they wouldnt give me a pay rise yet they charge 225 for this . A holes
Hi where do I get a Lego battery cover please
Amazon or eBay mainly
@@FF04ORD thank you
I struggle to even remove my cap
Paul Newton it shouldn’t be on tight
How much fluid did you use bud?
The bottle shown in the video did both cars
@@FF04ORD what size bottle was it mate?
shouldn't the filter be changed?
SuperWuulf filter? Sorry I wasn’t aware there was a filter on the system?
@@FF04ORD
I couldn't find any at the fiesta either - but you can buy them in stores
SuperWuulf can’t say I’ve seen anything like that anywhere. Maybe it’s for another engine or mk of fiesta
You sound like Karl Pilkington
pmsl 😂
