Great work mate, glad to see you making regular content again. Down to earth chap working on his driveway that we can all relate to which is why your videos are so enjoyable. 👍🏻

I love this working on your drive, reminds me of my youth working on Ford Anglia,s and other 60's & 70's motors. You do a fantastic job.

Agreed...I remember doing a gearbox swap and clutch replacement to my Rover 820 Vitesse on my drive in the mid 2000s. Even though that was a big complex car for its time and I was dead smug about doing it, the Mondeo looks a much more involved job...subframes off etc. Kudos Using that motorcycle jack thing was a genius touch. Did the rear subframe on my Jag X-Type a couple of years ago (subframe is identical to a Mondeo 2 estate) and if I'd had one of those Jack's, it would have saved calling my brothers over just for 10 minutes to lift it while I lined it up and got the bolts in!!

@Braden Jefferson I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and im in the hacking process now. Takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

There’s no better feeling than knowing that you’ve fixed a big job yourself no matter what the job is! Well done mate!

Brilliant James your a great macanic. I wouldn't hesitate to bring my car to you.well done to you give yourself a pat on the back . Job well. Done.. I Wish I had your confidence to tackle a job like that.

Well done, not many people would be brave enough to tackle a job like that. Great content. Thank You.

Yeah done the exact same job on my Seat Leon on my own. It's a tough job single handed. The 6 spd gearbox is super heavy.

O the joys of working on your driveway...great content as always sir...

The work you have done I am speechless

Having just done the clutch on my wife’s r50 mini on the road, i can say always gives you great satisfaction when completed, done a lot that way and still get same satisfaction each time

Top work there fella , your becoming quite the professional

Nice work James - I’m just amazed at how familiar that engine bay is to me and i’ve never worked on or owned a Ford! I have however worked on a lot of volvos and recognise a lot of parts in there and I’m sure some JLR stuff to and goes to show if you cAn fix one ypu can fix them all. Well done mate patience of. Saint to do it all on the drive and even more patience to film yourself doing it! 👍🏽

Awesome as usual James. Watching your video’s gave me the confidence to carry out jobs on my car that I wouldn’t have before. I have done bits over the years but I recently had the front end off my Megane R26 to replace the alternator and radiator and just before that I replaced the starter motor. I’d just like to thank you for uploading video’s like this that have helped me to save a hell of a lot of money in garage fees. Cheers mate 👍🏻

Fair play to mate I'm 75 years of age and you brought back old memories I was you outside my house 50years ago I know the bus I was called Garden side motors by my mates 👍

Awesome job, self belief and some patience by the looks of it, nice one, yet another inspirational video 👏👍

Absolutely brilliant mate👍👍👍👍. Can't wait to see what you get next

Excellent work James. Well done 👏🏻

Well done on getting this done and also doing it on your driveway. 👍👍👍👍👍

Fantastic job! Congratulations 🎉

Top video. Never a doubt you’d nail it first time.

Fantastic effort! Thoroughly enjoyed this series.

The Mrs' clutch on her Mk2 Focus CC went a couple of days before this video was released. She has the 2.0 Duratec engine, and the process was almost identical to this. Your videos were the most helpful information i could see, better than the Haynes manual, so from me to you, i thank you greatly! Incidentally, her gearbox (i weighed it) was 36kg. In such a small space, being positioned so awkwardly, reseating it was hard work, and i do not have a gearbox, or motorbike jack.... my solution was to wrap a couple of straps around it, and lift it from the top, while my mate buried in the wheel arch lined it up and pushed it on, i then grab a jackstand and shove it underneath so he could let go, not gonna lie, it took us a while and i was about to give up. Ive been a long time subscriber, the coincidence that i needed this info, and this time is unreal, keep up the good work. I've mentioned this before, but isnt it time you launched some merch? Specifically Savage Garage overalls. What you saying?

Awesome job James! Keep pushing, so proud of you 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

dunno if it was just me but the way you was going ham on that pump looked extreme! especially the sped up footage :) good job tho man, was looking forward to this next episode and u didnt dissapoint.

Another enjoyable viewing project again. Well done for doing it on the drive too. I'm looking forward to the next videos!

Great video, enjoyed every moment! Watched them all on a Sunday afternoon! Thank you for sharing!

Thanks for doing these things on your driveway! I would love to start on something like this but covid has seen to that for a while! Enjoy everything! Cheers!!

Best wishes for 2022, hope you are well

Cracking job fella!

You sir, are one very clever man. This has been interesting, entertaining and informative. Thank you 👍🏻

Damn fine job James. Mk4 is a great drive.

Great video mate keep up the hard work

Well done James 👏 pleased for you 👍

I’ve job mate, you should be proud of yourself. I’ve always shyed away from doing clutches, but after watching this, next time I might give it a go 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻
