This will hopefully be a straightforward repair for you Phil. I definitely agree with you regarding the spare wheel, attached to the rear door, it looks hideous.
Not one of Ford's finest moments in car design. The Fiesta on which it's based was a huge success, sadly now Ford have binned that to. Should be a good turnaround Phil, but I'd change the barn door for a non spare wheen one if I were you.
Most fords also have the handbrake on the wrong side . You have to reach the other side of the cup holders its very awkward. If you have cups in the cup holder you no longer have a handbrake available.
Hey Phil, thanks for the vids, follower here, I am looking at buying a new second hand car and the Ecosport was the one I choose initially but looking at forums and online reviews of the 1.0 Ecoboost engine (WET BELT) I read some horror histories with some cars having to be scrapped with very little mileage due to wet belt failure. What do you think about the all thing? Shall I still go for it or go for the Mokka x 1.4 ? Thank you for your help in advance
If you are going to fit a tailgate without the wheel on the back you may need the later bumper to go with it or you will end up with 2 recesses for the rear numberplate.
looks to be a well looked after car, pre-bump. So lucky to have service history, and what a clean engine bay! (it can't have been a C_part car then...)
Good video Phil nice to have chainsaw man back as well 😅

Where would you put the spare wheel, is there a under side bracket.?
Is it just me or there were signs of a frame machine on lower lip at the rear?
Yeah, I think someone has tried pulling this before, the boot floor looks like it’s got creases in it although it could be the camera
@@lesbaty8919 yep, agree, the boot floor creases looked out of place.

Designed for the left hand drive,same as the tail door,hinged for left hand drive 🚗
Eco sport is a raised fiesta chassis
Nice one Phil looking forward to next one
2015 diesel with 43,000 on the clock, DPF issues very soon methinks.

that tailgate looks twisted spare wheel should be strait not leaning back i would take spare off bet its crumpled behind it or bracket bent
That bootlid is barely usable with the creases and the bent bracket for the wheel
How much for the CITROEN? Have you sold the 2 series yet?
