@@blkedge220 haha nice one top man. Hope you're getting on OK with the mk4. Glad you enjoy the channel and thanks for the comment 👍

@@mondeost220restorations9 the mk4 is good but 220 is just a bit better

Thanks alot, much appreciated. It's comments like yours that reassures me to keep going. Glad you enjoy the channel and content. Thanks again means alot 👍

Thanks. Got the mud flaps off ebay a few years ago to protect the side skirts from road rash at the back of the front wheel arch.

Thanks mate. I've never used the halfords kit but heard good things. I was thinking of doing a tools, equipment and possibly a bit of a tutorial on the common troublesome nuts, bolts etc on the ST220 but thinking it would be boring. Th only videos on my channel that are popular to most is the one's were I'm out in the car ragging it. Thanks again mate 👍

@@mondeost220restorations9 well mate as for the Halfords Advanced i would certainly stick to the 6 point sockets ie modular sets. I have a 200 piece Advanced and a 120 piece advanced and most of the sockets are 16 point which don't fit many bolts as snug as my other branded 6 point sockets. That's my experience and luckily i bought them 2nd hand hardly used. Its great they have a lifetime warranty but also with both sets the extension bars and sockets by the most don't feel like they're on properly....again just my experience with owning 2 sets. I have their ratchet spanners and angled ones plus a few other modular sets which are all great. As for the content mate its absolutely fine and very helpful even if people don't comment so! Obviously there are those that just want to hear the car and see how it performs. If I could say anything it would be more about promoting yourself, your tests and experiments and obviously your channel. I know there are lots in the groups we're both in that know nothing about it. Content is fine mate and professional!! 👍🏻

Sorry yeah I've not even considered the performance oil filter as I'm trying to remove the cooked on oil from the engine so with that in mind I want decent filtration of the oil for the time being at least so I really couldn't comment on the performance filters. You might want to message Neil Woodcock on ST220 enthusiasts group on Facebook as I think he uses them. Thanks for the comment 👍

@@mondeost220restorations9 hi mate ..yes I'm friends on FB with Neil and yourself 😆 I know he uses 3 oil catch cans but as for filters I'm not sure. I think for now I will stick to the genuine Ford one but in saying that I need to do more research. My car is on 66K so I'm trying to do what i can to minimise wear etc

@@oluskloc no graph, I'm not worried about figures tbh, it's an old car and I don't want to stress the engine too much. Thanks, glad you liked the video 👍

Were is the car. Is it advertised?

@@mondeost220restorations9 Barnsley mate it’s on gumtree black

Thanks, yes it's not in bad nick for the age and milage and yeh I've always been into ford's as well, so the 220 was a obvious choice as they're still reasonably priced and good ones could well go up in value 👍

@@st220saloonrestorations 5w30 A5 Ford spec. I buy Castrol 20ltrs as I'm doing alot of oil changes and find the Castrol is decent and reasonably priced. I meant to ask you about the air intake duct you mentioned on your last video, I'd love to get my hands on one

@@mondeost220restorations9 since then I did some investigating about that air intake and find the six speed cars don’t have it fitted for some reason

@@medievilassassin thanks mate. Love driving this thing.

If you're looking for genuine ford springs and shocks I think you'll struggle for all 4 corners, I did going back in 2021. Aftermarket might be more available but always use part numbers and ensure that they match exactly and you are able to return as alot of suppliers will sell you components for a st tdci or even a standard model

Simply Ford at Beaulieu near Southampton. This event is held every year and I highly recommend if you like your older performance Ford's and anything else Ford 👍

I know what you mean after watching 1 sond off for 5 mins I was done but the rest of the day was great 👍

The best! If you're into Ford's 👍

@@Bloempot12 join the ST220 Enthusiasts group on Facebook. They have lots of information on these so you can do your research before you buy

Just seen the video lol. It does

Do you have a part number

Yes they do

@@mondeost220restorations9 got a place to buy them from?

Thank you! Cheers! Kinda feel like I'm getting somewhere with it now 👍

Cheers Dunk not quite up to your standard tho mate 👍

@@captainbiggles6636 Sam Adams on the ST220 Enthusiasts group on Facebook

Sorry bud I'm keeping it 💯 👍

Yeah I've recently had the big end shells replaced about 1500 miles ago so taking it steady for now

Cheers Dunk and thanks again for the sensors, work a treat 👍

Unfortunately I don't. All I can suggest is to do a online search but be prepared for an expensive quote

Yeh it's a tight fit but just doable, lol. I'd rather struggle a bit than send it into a garage, get charged handsomely for sometimes a crap job. Besides I do enjoy working on it and getting things as good as I can. Thanks for the comment and hope you enjoy the channel. Any recommendations with regards to improvements please feel free to say 👍

@@mondeost220restorations9 I hear you and I agree. Hopefully I've found a garage that I trust now (my trusted guy retired over 12 years ago now and we worked on several cars together). I've enjoyed the channel thus far, so no worries on that front, keep on keeping on👍😊✌️

Yes lack of oil pressure, but there can be several reasons for low oil pressure like low oil level due to leaks which is what is common with the ST220

@@mondeost220restorations9 ow okay makes sense not to worry if you get the oil leaks sorted

Bilt hamber dynax s50 cavity wax 👌👍

Remove the plastic pin then turn/spin the main part of the plastic fitting on the threaded rod either up or down can't remember but it's fairly logical 👍

I hear so many people say these things about the st220 and hear many regrets about no longer owning one! I think you need to get another one 👍

Thanks, plenty more to do, front end next 👍

Xtrafloor, about 1mm thick. It's a floor underlay used with composite flooring tiles, waterproof and with sound deadening qualities. Cheaper stuff is available but not sure how easy it will tear or how well it would keep the water out. The stuff I used is quite dense.

Cheers for answering a lot don’t 👍

Thanks Ian, hope the work on yours goes well👍

Thank you, and thanks for the comments. If there's anything I could do better please do let me know ok 👍

Glad you like it!

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks mate. How's that rear sub frame rebuild going?

Waiting on a couple of bolts should be installing summer time, thanks again for the subframe.

Thanks, if you've got any idea's or suggestions on improving the channel please do let me know ok. Glad you're enjoying the channel 👍

Oh shit yeah, I should of asked you if that was OK, sorry mate I didn't think hope you don't mind?

@mondeost220restorations9 it's all gd mate u go for it u I like to see my car on UA-cam lol

@@mondeost220restorations9 no worry mate I like to see my car on UA-cam and telly lol

Thanks mate. It's not bad if I say so myself. The rear end work is done for now and back on the ground waiting for 4 wheel alignment so rear end rebuild video will be up soon 👍

@@mondeost220restorations9 Look forward to seeing the vid. I've fitted my subframe back on last weekend and out of curiosity, I didn't pin it at first, just pinched the bolts up I then inserted the pins I turned, following the measurements you gave me and they would not go in. Slackened the four bolts back off, then fully inserted them home easily, before tightening the bolts back up. Suprised me how far out it can be without using the pins. Might get some time back on it this weekend, fingers crossed...

I think I used about 1.5 ltrs but I wanted to give it a good flush out. I think the power steering system capacity is about 1ltr

Thanks. I would first have a good look underneath at the rear in particular for corrosion and then check the engines big end bearings for wear.

@@mondeost220restorations9Thanks! By the way, what about the chains and chain tensors, is it true that they last for many miles?

@@flavioc5389 yes, as long as there are no rattles coming from that area they should be fine

Thank you, it means alot to receive your comments and apologies if I don't respond very quickly. If there's anything you think I can do to improve the channel please do let me know ok. Thanks again 👍
