Bought a van under lockdown that would start but not rev. Previous owner had ECU replaced, throttle pedal , brake sensor and various other things. Turns out was map sensor causing it to idle but not rev. New map sensor and wiring and it runs like a dream.
Muck Fe, that has been ragged to an inch beyond its life, they must have drove it like they stole it. I'd be sticking a dual mass in it, there has been some heat through that
Ecosports are really good used to have a 2014 model it was brilliant great acceleration and brakes we had the rear spear wheel ecoboost or the trend one
Class. As you say you its obviously the evolution of the old fiesta based fusion which was pretty much a fiesta just jacked up minutely. Looking forward to an easy fix.
You have to get a break sometimes, while your ordering that clutch kit order a proper hammer and donate the thing your using to a carpenter where it belongs.🤣
Thanks for posting this today.😁 I'd used up most of my usual channels ! One thing that crossed my mind... why bodge up the drivers door with a touch up pen, rather than find a in colour replacement. It seems a shame when the rest of the car is so good ? Surely it would add a larger amount to the selling price ?
@@brianiswrong some free checks can be a bit unreliable! A good one to check is autotrader, put the reg in as if your creating a advert to all it and usually it will tell you all. The spec of the car, and it will also tell you if the car is categorized 👍
@@SeriousAboutSalvage 140 bhp is as to why it was stolen recovered i guess, i must admit untill i read this bit i thought who would want to nick one of these, now i get it ! lovely condition and nice colour a perfect xmas cracker one which will pull when that burnt offering of a clutch is binned.
Hi Mate, love your channel look forward to seeing them every week can you tell me what make your inspection lamps looks very good had a few but nothing like that you have
I’m really grateful you’re posting these videos this week. Will keep me entertained. Christmas is over for me. Just tested positive for covid 😢 happy Christmas guys 😂
@@solatope11 Thanks mate. I’d like to think of myself as quite young and healthy so I’m sure I’ll shrug it off. Just annoying more than anything that it would happen during my week off work 😢
Cat N because it needed a new clutch? Whatever next? No wonder our insurance premiums have risen this year.... don't insurance companies employ competent assessors any more?
my wife wanted a red ford Bmax, so we picked a MARS RED colour, you've guessed it, this is what turned up... PS underneath the skin, Bmax + ecosport are the same mechanical cars merry christmas
Glad its an easy fix, in and out the door, perfect

Hi Phil pleased it's just the clutch great video

nice one phil, you deserve a bit of luck.
Nice one Phil, easy fix, nice little Christmas prezzie. 👍
Great video Phi;. Look forward to more of the same in 2025
Great content Phil
Lot of work to get clutch out 👍
Nice 1 for these vids Phil👍👍
For ur paint code call up your local paint dealer give them the reg and they’ll have it as fords go on reg
Hello m8t much better content than previous few keep em coming 👍
Good content pal
Loving the mechanical content 👍
Nice touch Phil 👌
The boot renders them useless for loading if anyone parks working 3 feet of the rear.

Nice one Phil I had my money on the centre of the clutch plate ripped out till i saw wheels attempting to turn. Nice easy fix for you.
That's exactly what I thought when it first arrived as well 👍
The gearboxes don’t have a drain hole, only a top up hole. Crazy, but typical of manufactures these days.
That colour is a nightmare to match and some You may not want to try and do any paintwork Merry xmas. Possibly the clutch centre has torn out ?
Class. As you say you its obviously the evolution of the old fiesta based fusion which was pretty much a fiesta just jacked up minutely. Looking forward to an easy fix.
The boot opening that way is a pain in the backside in car park. Wondering if it’s an ex-motability vehicle?
They all open that way
Great video nice car hopefully you get s.p.q.r which means small profit quick return as it's the bread and butter of the business
I also think the new ecosport is a focus
Nice one Phil Happy New Year to you and your family looking forward to seeing the next one
You have to get a break sometimes, while your ordering that clutch kit order a proper hammer and donate the thing your using to a carpenter where it belongs.🤣
Dont inflict that thing on a carpenter
😁
Nailed it!😂
Love the clutch job Phil,
I have a ecosport st line 125 bhp blue back 18 plate 7500 miles on clock

You'd be amazed what a touch up pen some 2000 wet and dry and a buffing pad can do, can't even see it now 😁
That is a great result, there could have been so much more damage😊.
Great video looking forward to the next one.😃
125bhp on that one, same as we had in our old 2013 fiesta ecoboost, it won't feel slow,but then neither is it a rocket ship.
This is the 140 Bryan later titanium S where all 140 ps 👍
@@SeriousAboutSalvage
Bonus,the car checker I used using the number plate showed 125bhp,but then also said the colour was red!!

I recently picked up a 2021 ecosport se it has the 1.0L and I actually really enjoy it. It's alot better than walking or taking the bus. 😂
I bought one 2 years ago. Nice little vehicle.

Hi Steven, it's a sealey 👍
@@SeriousAboutSalvage thanks mate
did you spot the drain plug on the gearbox when you got it out I did exactly the same as you with a fiesta and spotted it when it was off the car
Apparently there isn't one....
Great looking car that I would be happy with that motor
Cracking car mate
Great result
I’m really grateful you’re posting these videos this week. Will keep me entertained. Christmas is over for me. Just tested positive for covid 😢 happy Christmas guys 😂
Praying for you this minute my friend. Pray you recover very quickly.
@@solatope11 Thanks mate. I’d like to think of myself as quite young and healthy so I’m sure I’ll shrug it off. Just annoying more than anything that it would happen during my week off work 😢
Take it easy and rest Dan , you'll be OK 👍
@@SeriousAboutSalvage thanks Phil, will do.
Great car Phil. Why would someone steal a car like that,? Easy fix, nice profit for you 💰💰
It's anyone guess really... perhaps they just needed somthing to get them from one place to another low profile?
nice one phil
Ecosports have the same engines as fiesta. Either 100, 125 or 140 bhp
Cat N because it needed a new clutch? Whatever next? No wonder our insurance premiums have risen this year.... don't insurance companies employ competent assessors any more?
Could be the insurance paid out before the car was recovered. That would write it off regardless of condition.
@@Mudster250 Yes, but it shouldn't then be a Cat N, surely? Just stolen and recovered, not damaged
@@cmartin_ok there is no category for stolen recovered anymore, they just put them as cat N these days. Annoying really I wish cat x was still used.
@@SeriousAboutSalvage Thanks; but that seems crazy (although the insurance industry is prone to doing crazy things)
So I take my eco sport to the the garage and ask for a price to put new clutch in how much you reckon?
My grandad had one of these before he died diddnt even put 300 miles on the car but it was nice for a modern ford
What a lovely car Phil. Great result
good vidio.
Wow that’s a thrashed and trashed clutch.
Great content 👍
With hot sports in the fly wheel it can cause a shudder when takeing off you are silly not to get it macheend to get out the hot sports
How can someone tear up a clutch in only 35,000 miles?
Great video mate 👌
Centre the clutch torn apart from disc
I had a 205 all the clutch springs broke
liked and subbed 👍🏻
Thankyou 👍
Are you related to Marlon dingle
Mars red?
Yep 👍
That's why we love the channel
Trouble with EcoBoost is it is really Eco boom!
burnt orange.
Morning Phil 👍
Found it...steering wheel installed on the wrong side of the car.
👍😊
my wife wanted a red ford Bmax, so we picked a MARS RED colour, you've guessed it, this is what turned up...
PS underneath the skin, Bmax + ecosport are the same mechanical cars
merry christmas
Stolen recovered so they ragged the clutch out at that milage
Eco boom
Out of all the cars on the road in the UK. And somebody decided to steal this thing.
