Yeah, keep it as standard as possible cosmetically. Obviously add little personal touches here and there, but don’t ruin it by making it look tacky. Wheels back silver in my opinion and I’d even replace the badges/fog surroundings back to standard colour. All the best mate👌🏼
yes connor!
Totally agree keep it looking standard but upgrade the stuff you cant see
Agreed!
The Savage Garage slam the car, put neons, 2jz engine swap, weight reduction and nos upgrades.
Completely agree with this and was just about to say the same. Standard badges as those red ones look terrible. Silver wheels and tidy up bodywork will look so much better. Once finished with the car sitting lower like it is now the car will look really really nice.
Im working on my Mondeo St220 and having alot off fun with it, I have changed the rear dampers. got loads of video's on my channel as im working away on the car. Nice motor keep them up
The best part about all your videos is how clear yet very simple all the explanations are, it's almost at ABC level but for beginners is perfect and for intermediates it's a refresh. Ok all manufactures have designed things differently but as long as we get the concept it can then be applied to All cars. Keep up the good work and keep it simple. Respect dude. 👍
Looking forward to watching all the videos on this, can’t wait 👌👌
Love the new content, had my ST Derv for almost 3 years, the basic boltons really help this car, i have straight piped mine, intercooler, intake EGR delete because they are a common issue that will put it into limp mode. All that just helps it breath and you get a massive torque band from about 1750-3500 which makes it a joy to drive
Like a good book this channel, I can't wait for the next chapter.
thankyou adam!
Haha cant actually believe you bought an ST, i've always wanted one and having discovered your channel through your Injector video on your dads mondeo and that being a common fault with these delphi injectors i decided to buy one, and now you have too! What a time to be alive!
Nice one mate, that vid with the mondeo injectors was really helpful. And funny thing when i gots mine had similar problems back whell sound and noisi auxiliary which dosnt go away dam it lol. Keep it up bro!
Great video as usual, keep up good work!
Fantastic james keep it up like the mondeo looks gd n ideas spot on
Yeah go for the silver wheels looks a lot better, looking forward to this series !
i was thinking silver would look clean
no black looks way better
People so commonly paint these wheels because the originals have a diamond cut face and over time the water and road grime gets under the lacquer and look dreadful, I definitely go back to silver
Silver with diamond cut face is popular one these cars
@@davewright7512 as it came out of the factory!
I am getting the impression your in love with that car 👍
you're spot on
The Savage Garage I am looking forward to lot of vlogs on this Mondeo
keep at it chap, looking forward to the rest of this Mondeo
Get rid of the red trim on the fog lights mate and put the original ford badges on. Silver wheels get my vote. Tensioner looks ok normally the belt shakes like mad when they go bad and the bottom pulley has a bush to dampen the virbration. If you have to replace apparently jaguar x type is the same part and is cheaper as they admitted that it's a common fault and ford didn't do reduced the price of the part. You can fit a relay so the mirrors fold in the double lock, I did, just Google it, easy job. Check foot wells for water it's common for the door membranes to be bad and not seal meaning all the rain water goes into the car rather than out. As with your dad's clean egr and intake regularly, injectors can be an issue but overall I think the puma engine is good and reliable.
Cant wait you doing the st keep up the brilliant work
Always wanted one going to love this project :) good job
Man, you're getting me real inspired to buying a car with some mot failures or something, fixing it up and document it!
Keep up the good work!
Although you like to keep cars standard, as this is an st rather than a standard mondeo I’d say make it look a bit sportier and bit more flashy but, add bits that you liked from factory e.g. adding the chrome pieces back in and removing the tint from the rear lights just a suggestion but, keep it going with these great videos fella!!
I'm owner of 2.5 V6 Mondeo, I can't wait for this project to start 🤘
Mondeo ST is a lovely car , comfortable, really good maneuverability especially lowered a bit, unfortunately quite expensive to maintain. I'm looking forward to all your videos on this car. You gained a subscriber.
Wow great choice. The MK3 ST is my ideal car. I hope to buy one in the future. I have a standard MK3 petrol mondeo, I used your video on the rear brakes last year to do mine.
I bought Mondeo 2007 plate in September 2018 and been driving since then eveeryday to work and back, 1.8tdci 6speed edge plus absolutely love my Mondeo smooth gear shifting, reliable, cheap to run and fix etc.
Love the way your going with the car mate!
Looking forward to the upcoming videos James 👍🏼
Looking forward to this!
The Ink Blue is growing on me, keep the great videos coming!
Loving the videos on the Mondeo and all the things you have done to it I have just bought one and hoping to do some mods keep up the good work forgot to mention on your boost guage video that you could do with a dremmel for cutting your plastic bits 👍👍👍
The way your channel is turning next year is a lambo . Looking forward to watch more of the Mondeo.
Silver wheels and a tidy up will get jt lookin 100% better 😍 quality vid again mate, got me looking into them now 😆🤦♂️
Great bit of kit, good luck
cannot wait for the upcoming videos on the mondeo proper nice car, cant wait to see what its in for
👍👍👍
I've owned a mondeo st for about 5 years now and would be hard pushed to get rid of it. I've done most of the common mods myself.
Most of the common mods that have already been done to your car:
Focus st225 calipers - straight through exhaust - lowered - wind deflectors - window tint - rear wiper delete - black eyed headlights with halo.
Things you should look to do once you've fixed the other mechanical problems - 20mm spacers all round - EGR delete - bigger front mounted intercooler - cone air filter (sounds much better but does cost a little more), then get it dyno'd on a rolling road. if you want 200+ bhp then a hybrid turbo and bigger injectors.
The 188 bhp could be true'ish, but all that will have been done is a standard remap where the fuel intake is simply increased.
I have resubscribed to your channel due to you now having the st, I'm looking forward to watching your channel again.
Try joining some mondeo st groups on Facebook, there are always people breaking cars and selling most parts at a very reasonable price. You can also get a lot of help and advice on what's what with regards to fixing the st as most of us have been there and done it.
Keep up the good videos 👍🏻
As a Mondeo owner with the same engine (but not an ST), some tips from my years of ownership. The rear shocks will be a bitch to replace if they are original. Expect seized nuts and bolts! Don't forget to replace the top mounts and drop links at the same time. You will need rear subframe bushes unless that's already done. Use a genuine Ford fuel filter if/when you service it. I had mine mapped at Celtic Tuning and had it on the dyno at 188bhp/410Nm torque. The low gearing for 1st/2nd doesn't help 0-60 but the in gear performance is great! Brake pipes are a weak point for rust but easy to replace. The 2.2 is a bit noisy when cold but after about 10 mins it runs a lot quieter. Mine has Bilstein shocks and lower Eibach springs - the ride is firm but not harsh at all - its a great motorway cruiser. If your ride is harsh, swap the springs too. OEM springs do break a lot, especially the front ones. Any other help I can be, please ask! Looking forward to your videos!
Big love for putting it back to as standard as possible lad. I'm currently in the almost exact same process. Had a few Mondogs now but always want the diesel st. Will be watching with keen interest to see the progress. Don't know if it's already been mentioned but I can highly recommend a decat pipe. Mine runs so much smoother now and makes better use of the claimed 195bhp remap by a previous owner.
I have one of these myself and only said the other day there isn't enough videos out there about these cars, I've replaced loads on mine in the last three years, best advice I can give is get a Haynes manual 😂 the belt tensioner can be a nightmare too if you haven't got the right kit for it because you only have like half a inch of space to work with! Best of luck with the car though mate, very happy to see an ST on someone's feed. 👍
You bout to blow up in 2019. I can feel it :)
Had an old MK2 TD Mondeo, bulletproof engine! Started every morning in the winter of 2009 - 2010.
Only thing was smoky... good old black smoke, when putting the toe down.
But nothing forte diesel cleaner never sorted.
Either way, I miss having a Mondeo! All the best with the ST.
No doubt that shocker needs changing but I’d definitely check your bearing too! It’d probably explain the change in pitch and frequency when speeding up! Looking forward to seeing this project unfold! Inspires me to do bits on my Megane RS each weekend! Keep it up man! 👍🏼
Good luck with the list of job can’t wait to see how it all happens
No matter how many problems the is still the best project car you have owned James
Just traded in my focus for one of these was looking at getting blue intiror lights looks nice glad I found your chanel most mondeo vids are really old so good to watch some new stuff my st is also a 2005 but has full leather recaros yours must be the fist facelift model or something
Loving the ST! de-tint the back lights and add the chrome window strips back again definitely. Maybe paint the wheels anthracite? These TDCi engines are okay if looked after. The only issues are injectors and clutch / DMF with these. Good luck with the project!
The wheels probably had the youtube refurb. Rub of a scotchbrite and a blow over with a rattle can. Good luck with the new motor James.
I had a quick nosey for you on my remapping software and the figures come back for a stage one as .. 155bhp to 185bhp and from 380nm to 460nm torque.. nice increase.. agree with others on the styling, change wheel colour, silver or charcoal, ditch the red parts, and back to silver headlights and chrome trim back on .. keep up the great videos :)
I have recently picked up a 2006 ST and I'm excited to see how yours turns out
Love it,bigger cars are better.More space more power and better for motorway cruising.Great channel pal
You’ll get that beast up and running proper in no time lad
I bought myself a Mk3 Mondeo not long back by chance and accidentally ordered 2 double din fitting kits. Facia, iso adapter and regular harness (no steering wheel controls). If you want the spare kit I have left over for when you get a stereo, you’re more than welcome to it 👍
GORGEOUS CAR GREAT VIDEO
Love these car's owned many & own 1, Inter-cooler upgrade is a nice touch already with an EGR Blank, Straight piped Exhaust to hear that Turbo Whistle is a power improvement, Auxiliary Belt & Tensioner's are prone to squeaking/Rattling on these Mk.3's
Injectors normally take a dump around 80-120 Miles unless replaced engine can sound lumpy and pour out black smoke on HARD acceleration.
Can't wait to see what you do to it:)
Loving this series- just bought one of these myself (also in ink blue but the estate) so very eager to see how your mods turn out! It’s my third mondeo (had a mk2 2.5 V6 and an ST220 before it) but also first diesel- I hear they do map well...
IMO the ST alloys look best standard silver, particularly against the ink blue. Not a fan of the red accents personally but brake callipers could look ok... also definitely black out the back- I loved that in my ST220 (need to get it done in the ST as well!)
Lovely Jubbly, best thing I would do, is return it's factory look, silver wheels etc.
Hi James, plenty to keep you going. So I do have a few parts, tips and mod ideas for you. I currently own an St 155 so I'm not plucking this info from thin air. Firstly I have a set of seats identical to yours with the drivers seat being in good condition, I have a turbo actuator and other bits and bobs. When you're replacing the shocks you may aswel replace the bearings too (bolt on part) as I think this is the noise on the rear, sometimes they don't even have play. When replacing the shocks it's best to undo the whole hub from the control bars then simply remove the 2x10mm bolts holding it up at the top of the turret. A nice cheap mod I've done along with others is the flip key you did with the fiesta. Another cheap mod is power folding mirrors activated by the key, really cheap and easy to do. Personally I like the black headlights just not the halos, I retro fitted factory projector lights but it was a little pain. I do have some how-to info should you need it. Oh I also have a spare afolding mirror too!
EGR blank as the 2.2 and 2.0 are horrible for EGR and inlets blocking (you're probably aware with working on your dads lol!) Replace the aux belt as a kit and the crank pulley too as they're prone to fail on these as the damper just separates. Then just run some liquimoly diesel purge through it to clean the injectors and work on the cosmetic things. Whatever you do with the car I'll be watching no question, love your content and it's only gonna get better from here James!
Classsss bro 💙
cheers man!
Had my ST diesel for 8 years now, been an amazing car!
I used to drive a 2005 Mondeo James, and the rear bearing was so common to kaput ... nice project so far mate 👍
ill check it when in the air!
Liking the Mondeo, got one myself. Not an ST unfortunately 😥. Brilliant cars, mine is a 56 plate 2.0 TDCi 130. I absolutely love it, so easy to work on. I haven't done much to it, I'm not allowed to as my wife also uses the car. I have however changed all interior lights and puddle lights as well as the reg plate lights to LEDs. A cheap but very effective mod. I do have a tailgate lip spoiler which I will be fitting in the warmer weather as it needs a coat of paint first. Look forward to the next installment. From one Norfolk boy to another, good luck and enjoy the Mondy.
This channel has come so far from when I was new hear
I think personally to with a colour scheme that you like. Not everyone will appreciate the same colours. wishing you all the best and good luck.
Great choice getting a Mondeo ST mate, if it was me I'd definitely bring the wheels back to silver, i'd swap the badges back to OEM blue and take off the wind deflectors or maybe just remove the stickers on them, it would be alot tidier I think but It's your car so your preference. Big fan of the channel few years now👍

I look forward to seeing this car progress! I have a focus and would like to see if the lights replacement is similar to your Mondeo.
Get front focus ST 225 brake Calliper and discs prevents warping discs. I would also do a EGR delete as they clog up easily and finally ST220 Recaro interior as they are awesome. I have an 05 Mondeo st Tdci as well in the best colour Performance Blue love it will do anything you ask from it. Good luck with it.
Love these cars. The final facelifts have aged well. I use to have a ST TDCI. But I've got the ST220 now. I use to loved the torque of the diesel
The drivers side mirror may just be its not in the 'correct' starting place for them to fold all the way in. If you move it until it clicks in place, try the folding then! Excited to follow this project dude, beautiful ST!
Very cool cars these So!
Nice new intro mate.
HI James,great video,i don't own a Mondeo ST,but the wheels need a refurb for sure,even I would go for silver,the calipers,red yes definitely,and the front lights being black make it dark on the road so again original lights is the way to go.
I bin reading what people bin saying do what you want to the car it's your car I like it and as I got the mondeo tdci st I'm looking forward to seeing what you do keep going kris
Would recommend changing all the fluids. Oil, coolant, break fluid ect. Definitely go for the EGR delete and maybe a catch can then to top it off a Terra clean, liking the vids man great choice of car looking forward to see what you do to it.
The king of stock
Brilliant videos as always James. Question; are you gonna do a flip key conversion with this one too?
getting these 2.0l tdci engines remapped makes a lot of sense. with the default standard mapping they are quite peaky engines but after a remap they have a nice flat torque curve so makes it a lot more driveable. ive had two friends remap their mondeo's (one for economy and one for performance) and both said the car was a lot more driveable with a nice flat torque curve
Ive always liked the st Mondeos. Good luck with it mate. I don't think there are that many featured on TH-cam . Ian
Rear bearing mate mine had the same. Might be worth replacing that leaking strut though. Looking forward to watching this car get better
Not a bad list of things to sort, means plenty content 👍
Love these Mondeo, had a mk3 once. Sounds like you got your work cut out with all those jobs. Paint work is gonna be a difficult one though maybe you should get an air compressor and paint gun? Anyways original headlights will look much better good luck James
Silver wheels look great. These are some of my favourite wheels
Silver wheels look a lot better or if you want it back to factory get them diamond cut. But have you look at 19inch focus rs alloys with 20mm hubcentric spacers fitted. There is a fair few FB groups for Mondeo ST’s. Have you thought about a uprated intercooler?
Reference the air filter I would do as you suggested in the video and get a panel filter. If your thinking of changing the whole interior look at the full leather recaros from the ST220 they come in different colours but were a optional extra on the TDCI.
Ooh Mondeo friend!
I have a 2005 ST220 which I'm thinking of uploading!
Sounds good so far, agree about keeping it fairly standard, IMO when it's done it should look like it could've come from the factory at 1st glance. Definitely think you should lose the red but not a deal breaker, wheels titanium colour maybe? Like the idea of the android head unit. What about the steering wheel? probably nice enough being an ST but is there anything from the Focus/Fiesta range that would look nice?
I like what you've done on your previous cars, start with a basic and add higher end genuine Ford parts, it's what I done back in the day (mk1 & 2 Escorts, mk3 Capris) Built not bought, anyone can throw a lot of cash at a high end model (and be in debt for the next 3 years) Your approach is what made me subscribe, the only car related channel in my list. Keep up the good work.
Great car to drive looks great... At least this car will make you a better mechanic. I really hope your list stays that short..
😀😀😀
Me personally as a mondeo owner love this car. I like the red trim inside and out don’t like the black wheels on the blue. Get a set of red recaros and maybe a 220 rear bumper and have a twin exit exhaust . And it more sounds like a bearing rather than the strut👌. Excited for this project
Couple of thing I have done on mine...
Full custom stainless
Alloys painted BMW silver
6500k LED nighteye bulbs front and rear number plates
Blue LED footwell bulbs
EGR DELETE (EURO 3 Engine)
Focus ST 2.5 front brakes, discs pads and calipers
Airtec intercooler
Pipercross Panel Filter
Blue Silicone Pipes all round
Copper brake and fuel lines
10mm spacers front and rear
Eibach lowering springs
Most important:::::
Bluefin remap 190bhp before intercooler
Power flex Polyurethane Bushes all round
Underseal the floor too
There is more but I really can't think at 03.50AM
Love this project car, gonna be a great series to follow 😊👍🏼, red gloss wheels maybe? & repaint everything that is red, to the same red gloss standard. Silver is cool too tho, but i like the red on this car alot 👍🏼
I think you might be right about the wheel, I had problems with a swift from the day I bought the bloody thing - a long story to a short relevant one, 4 months I had knocking etc - It took my input shaft bearing to give up to have it ramped up, and the front strut was burst - so that noise - Is an old enemy of mine hahah. On another note, i like the mondeos, it could be a good car - the only thing that puts me off is that diesels... can't really be modified as excessively as a petrol, in my own opinion and experience, such as emissions and that being an issue! wish you health to drive it man!
Looking forward to your new project. When you do the rear noise issue just check the inside of the wheel rim just in case it's been over a speed hump to hard and put a dent in it which would also cause that noise .
The rear sub frame bushes are prone to fail on the Mondeo. Power flex poly bushes were a popular upgrade. Also the rear calipers like to seize.
Looking forward to the upcoming vids. I love the Mondeo.
My ST220 is my project car and the ST TDCi is my daily. Remap are very common for the dervs as are hybrid turbo, egr delete, front mount intercooler, silicone piping and decat, my diesel is completely standard as I rely on it too much to go messing with it but I imagine it would be good with all the bits on it. All my money gets thrown at the 220 so I just do what wants doing on the diesel.
In terms of cosmetic upgrades, TRC composite splitters look nice, RS 19" wheels with 20mm spacers, halo lights and recaro seats as it doesn't have them.
Also, did I spot some rust on the rear arch? Common place to start rusting, if get it sorted before it gets too bad.
For what it is worth if it was the shocks the noise would be more intermittent , not as regular as you are suffering. Bearings or even a tyre fault, something that is going round!! Love your enthusiasm and your wanting to learn.
welcome to the diesel torque enjoy the motor and let the mods begin. atb Steve
11.08 lol “bring the boat down” thinking of the Astra
I don't think a knackered shock would cause that noise. I'd say it's wheel bearing related or even the wheel slightly loose.
Evening James, it’s sounds like the wheel bearing and looking at the way the tyre has worn the shock is knackered, as well, but this will be good viewing for the channel
You running from that mental cat was hilarious 👍👌
I've had good results with Forte Diesel turbo cleaner. (Fuel additive) It's a good product to use when carrying out a filter service etc.
fair enough wanting to add the k&n air filter to it if I was you I'd do the auxiliary belt and tensioner and then just put a new diesel filter on it and change oil and it'll be perfect they were rattly from factory so don't worry too much but they respond really well from a fresh diesel filter and love a good run at high revs to keep it clean inside the engine and bits
Glad u got st mondeo always wanted one great cars when run right lol
First things first, try to change speeds at 2500 RPM, because turbo, egr(If isn't deleted), will get full carbon, and eventualy get stuck. I love your Ford, is so nice!
Good vid 🤙
