Finally able to watch this 😀 You guys are the legends! I’m intrigued as to what is next mods are! Keep the content flowing! Fave KZreadr 😍

You’d be surprised with BC coilovers- I had them on my second ST 8 years ago along with white line anti roll bars, poly bushes, anti lift kit etc. Every so often the rears clunked slightly- I cant remember exactly what we did but some form of fabricated rubber seal at the top of the struts sorted it out.

Love what your doing to your car pal just makes everything that bit better 👍🏻

Just bought myself today a black focus st 225 facelift 3 door and your vids give much inspiration to do som mods ti mine 😄

your videos are a great source of information keep it up bud

Just another day at thr garage :) thank for sharing Gents

I fitted a full silicone coolant hose kit to my mates ST a few months ago. The heater matrix hoses were really awkward, had to use a dremel to grind through factory hose clamps. It took me all day to change the full set. The cooling system doesn't have a bleed screw on these ST's, just fill up with coolant, turn heater onto full and keep the revs up to 2.5k for 5-10mins. Check level, screw cap on and take it for a drive, recheck level.

Right! Mine should be good for a couple of years.

Mate, I just got my rear suspension arms n bushes done in a garage for £380, feels like a different motor now so worth doing.

I remember when I done my silicone hoses on my ST the small hose that comes of the side if the block into the header tank I was sat for about three and half hours with a hacksaw blade just trying to cut that clip off that holds it on and also fitted a pro alloy race performance radiator in the same day aswell that was even more fun lol

Another good video George 👍, in my opinion the engine bay would have looked better with red coolant pipes 😁 but still looks good. Keep them videos coming as you are giving me ideas for my ST2 😁

Pro tip. NEVER try to undo the plastic radiator plug to drain the coolant. They go brittle and you will most likely break it, leaving you with a leak until you can get another plug. Just take off the coolant pipe, it's easier.

Need to get the heater matrix hoses done mate, will cook the engine of one of those splits. As for upper grill keep trying people breaking pfl for an upper grill took me months but i found one, i have cut mine down smoothed it and painted gloss black with the zunsport on top 👍

Great video m8, good to know how much coolant the ST takes.

Need to get mine done soon too.. same year and expecting mine to go 😬

lol did mine over the past weekend, the worst hose to remove was the one next to the ofh, and then also my gear selector didnt want to go into 1st, 3rd and 5th due to pipe

You need to get it on a 4 post ramp mate, like what you have an MOT done on, that way the weight of the car is on the suspension, much easier to find anything that’s knocking or worn, when it’s hanging on a 2 poster often things don’t show up 👍

Did you know George, that under your ST slam panel you will find a proper bonnet prop holder? Will be much better when you get the RS slam panel on, or a diesel one.

Perfect timing with the video just about to do them today thank you.

Miss seeing Alan

Sorry if you have said in a previous video. what boost pipe is that?

🔥🔥🔥👍

I literally just bought some of these the 5 piece ones, I’m not fitting them tho, are these the ancillary hoses or are they different

Maybe you should of shown how to remove the top radiator hose

You didn't show the clip at theend of hose connecting to the engine from the coolant bottle, for the heater, as my pipe has a small hole, just at the clip, and can't find anywhere that shows you how to get it out,?

Hi mate it might be the trail arm bushes

ok at 7.37 min the video...i would like to get the undercover...or air deflector...im in malaysia...i prdered from aito.doc....but they say its oversize item and cant ship it....is there any way i can get this to malaysia...

Here I go again..... Would have been better to get the ancilliary hoses at the same time because the longer one that comes from the heater matrix goes under the coolant hose you took out next to the battery box. It is a T.W.A.T. to get on when that coolant pipe is on. Not impossible, just awkward.

Pro ramair ; is this the Airtec / AutoSpecialists one with the plate, RS slam panel, and K&N Group A filter? Sounds awesome mate, got it on mine. Remember to check out Problem Solving Bushings (PSB) for a set of poly bushes. If Alan has a press it will be a piece of piss. good choice for the black silicone pipework too, the coloured stuff gets grubby over time. I have red induction pipework but that's where I will leave it. Rest is going to be black.

How many miles has your ST done, George? I got my bushes all checked at the mot last week and the mechanic reckoned they had only minimal wear. It's an 07 with 50k miles.

Ancillary hoses - yes the hoses that go to/from the heater matrix, they come in a set of 4 for about £45. As mentioned before mine failed and nearly cooked my engine.

Had a pinhole leak in my heater matrix hose last year so replaced the 2 pipes at the matrix too with the one-piece silicone ancillary hoses that get rid of the plastic connecter in the middle for peace of mind.

Easyrider8111 Mine started a seeing a small bit of steam when raining, then one day after a spirited drive steam just exploded from this area, luckily I was at traffic lights so pulled over and switch off straight away, half my coolant was gone by this stage! Was close to killing my engine, imagine if I’d been on the motorway, probably wouldn’t have caught it in time and bye bye engine!!!

Easyrider8111 This hose set definitely comes as a 4 piece set, I binned those plastic connectors and just replaced them with plastic coolant hose joiners. 20mm to 20mm and 22mm to 20mm was the diameter needed for me.
