only to find i cant remove the pipe cause the subframe is in the way or exhaust or both
or does someone know something i dont

Thankyou
A P****D off ST owner

 

know of a couple who have done it themselves, meant to be rite cunt of job, that leaves you with a lot of scraped knuckles and cuts on your hand. anything down the backside of that engine gona be a cunt of a job though. good luck.

 

Fiddy Thankyou mate
you made me feel alot better i dont feel so embaresed now that i cant do it
ive had another look at it and i cant see how the hell its done
garage is bringing a flatbed out first thing to take it away ROFLMAO
plus side after a month of ownership i might just be able to drive the F*****G thing

Was it you thats got a mate who breaks them
i seen at ford fair alot of ST200 not all had like a rubber splitter on the front bumper

 

The power steering is a c**t of a job but it is possible on a drive just bloody difficult.

The rubber splitter is actually a Cupra R splitter and cost less than £20 from Seat. Piece of cake to fit as well but getting very very common now. My estate was the first one to have one fitted but along with removing the inner morette lens and moving the battery to the boot (also firsts on my estate) they are also common!!!!!!

 

Thankyou bookwyse i thouhgt they where ford they looked factory
am finding out that everthing on the mondeo ST200 is a c**t of job
garages must love um lol
£254 with me supplying the parts its a bloody joke

 

Over four years since I first did mine!!!!!!!!









I dont use a garage much in mine as I prefer to do the work myself but then again I do run a pair of them. My estate with one or two mods and 243bhp and then the missus'w hatch with 220 bhp.

Cheers they look sweet and factory i want 1
i do all the work on my 2 escorts myself but those mondeos double dutch to me
how hard are the discs & pads to change and where can i get the specail tool am told i need

 

They are a piece of cake to change the discs and pads on. the special tool is for winding the rear calipers back in but you do it with a pair of long nosed pliers just as easily.

Jeff

 

Thankyou Jeff

 

yes mate, nick at ST Solutions, he's a good mate of mine. i was actually at his place yesterday picking up a decat. the amount of 200's he has in for breaking is ridiculous, there is 4 outside his house, and another 4 or 5 in his unit. he has a 200LTD in for breaking aswel, i want the interior out of it, but i wont be paying what he wants for it lol

 

Aye, discs and pads are easy. just changed all of mine for the mot, had a sticky caliper on the back that was a bit of a chew on, even with the tool, it took some winding in.

 

Pretty much mate, especially if it is engine, bolt, or pipe related. power steering pipes are a cunt, break pipes can be, and bolts are an absolute cunt to get out, when they are suspension related, they either refuse to move, or the heads snap off the bolts, hence the 7 hours it took to lower mine.

 

Thankyou FIddy i should of bought one of your mate
Have you got a website or number and address for nick please cant find anything on the net
what benits do you get from removeing the cat
i was gonna get one of those ltd ones but funnly the interior put me of
i thought i get a good deal with mine buts its turning into a nightmare
total spend so far bearing in mind i only bought it a few weeks ago 1100 c**ting quid
not inc disc's & pads which it only needs back but i thought ill change allround & decent pads
apart from basic stuff like trye pressures LOL mines going to the garage
could you put a link up to that tool please

 

this is his number mate, i was ordered to put his stickers on my car lol





Anything you need, he will have mate, he does postage aswel, so thats no bother, and ill guarantee all your parts will turn up, will be in good condition, and full working order. good lad nick, know him well, just give him a bell, and tell him fiddy gave you his number, and he'll look after you.

 

cheers fella
