I thought the ST150 gearbox does not have a synchro for reverse that’s why it can crunch some times. I know that putting it in third before reverse it never crunches
You’re right reverse is normally a spur gear in gearboxes, just on other cars I’ve owned haven’t really crunched I’ve just found fiestas in general just crunch for some reason
Great vid fella, just one note from me. When running at normal temp, your temp gauge should be rock steady at 90oC. With the thermostat stuck open it doesn’t get much past 70oC.
Thanks buddy and that’s correct mines intermittent will only do it sometimes hence why I need to change it just Ford have back ordered them for now lol
Hello mate I will be doing an alternator as mines getting noisy but I’m not sure on when if I’m honest got other jobs prioritised at the minute but the coolant temp sensor will be on the right hand side of the engine near the coil pack you’ll see a large coolant hose going to a housing the sensor will be on that 👍🏻 hope this helps
Can you put a link of what thermostat you could recommend and a link for power steering relocation kit? And the boot popper off eBay? Also how did you link the power steering to a cooler what did you do?

1st gear then reverse no crunch.👍
Wait a few seconds before engaging reverse, don't try and go straight in it from a forward gear.

Remember to get yourself some clip pliers when you do it, can be a pig of a job.

That's even better news mate! What about engine slightly tickling when gets warm? It's started after Christmas when car was not used for 2days.
@@sebastianst1532 injectors? mine are quite ticky (normally the case) or the cam followers but if it’s a slight tick then I wouldn’t worry

Anymore Info? Does it turn over when turning the key does it have any warning lights and have you scanned the codes
You don’t want to have it running hot before max temp?
I want it running at around 90 degrees which is optimum temperature, not good to run an engine too cold
@@6uiltdifferent seems to be when your on motorway it runs really cold and drive it around town it warms up fine
