Videos like this make me worry about where I'm getting my RS serviced. If only I could find a garage near me that has someone as knowledgeable as Jamie...
Dont stress mate, its why we are doing the videos so you can follow and do bits and pieces yourself. What state are you in? Might be able to recommend a workshop for you

Another great informative video... great work..
Excellent video!!!! Very knowledgeable and analytical. Thank you.
Thanks for the informative video mate appreciate it!
Hello mates, may I ask, are you going to release a video of bonnet lock opening and repair and what's the best method to repair it? Mine is still functional, but it would be nice to have a video from the best of the bests once it happens and I'm sure it will happen at some point :). Thanks.
I noticed the coolant level drops as you begin to pressurise the expansion tank. Is that normal, as I thought coolant was incompressible…? Or is it being pushed somewhere in the system, as soon as you start pumping?
Totally normal mate, the hoses swell slightly when under pressure so creates more space. Not by a lot but there's a fair few of them. If you run car till its at full operating temp the level drops in the same fashion (why you always check the level when cold)
5w30 full synthetic is good oil for the rs mk2?
No, Ford requirements for the RS mk2 is a 0W40 oil that meets Ford spec WSS-M2C937-A.
They came factory filled with Castrol Edge Professional 0W40 which is what we use in both the RS & ST225.
@OEMDeniedPerformance thanks for info :D
