OMG you are fantastic, mate! Job well done. I'm super pumped now after watching your video, and I'm ready to get crackin' on the same project --- thanks for the motivation! Too bad it's nearly 4am here in California, USA. Eh, who cares! Hell, I just watched a video of my male counterpart from another country successfully swap out the engine mounts in a Focus --- but this time, I'm not wondering why there is clear liquid pouring out of my eyeballs, or why my boyfriend dumped me, or what life would be like if I had just been born a man, because - damn it all to Hell, I shouldn't have to be doing this crazy f-ing Ford Focus repair all by my girlish lonesome!!! ....BUT ALAS I AM LAUGHING AND READY TO BEAT MY FORD FOCUS BACK TO INTO ITS FINE BUTTERY SELF!!! Thanks, mate!
I did the hydraulic rubber engine mount on my 2006 Focus 2.0 duratec and had the same look on my face when.I turned over my engine, lovely and smooth motor, no cabin vibes, need to do my gearbox mount at some point. What I noticed was I had to slightly move back the engine just a touch because when I took the mount off and offered the new one back up the marks on the chassis rails where the old mount sat, it didn't quite line up and I made a mental note of the distance between the rad and nearest bit of the engine, which was too close, The bolt holes in the mount are slightly slotted to allow some fore and aft movement. Just worth double checking everything is lined up and nothing fouling anywhere.
Fantastic response full of great information. I’ll pop the bonnet and double check everything as we speak. I did notice a lot of ‘wiggle room’ with the mounts before torquing down so that makes sense. Thanks for the comment! 😁
@@xiolage Just double check where the mount sits on the chassis rails, you shouldn't be able to see any clean marks where the old one sat. You should be good if your new mount is sat where your old one was. I just noticed my engine moved forward a touch and I had to move it back slightly.
@xiolage Hi there I saw you used a blue silicone pipe off the turbo do you know where I can get that pipe from and the size diameter bc I wanna do the same to mine
@xiolage hey bud. Can you do a video on your engine bay of what you've done? Noticed you've changed the weird OEM condom with the two cable ties. Be great to see what you've done 👍🏻 thanks bud.
Hi dude, I have a full list of modifications video on my channel. It runs through everything I’ve done with the engine bay. I haven’t got the link unfortunately. Hope this helps 😊
@@xiolage nice much difference? I’ve the the facelift zetec s 1.5 tdci and got mine booked for the 20th aug at West Yorkshire tuning and love that you have the same car and do stuff that I wanna do and from the uk! Hopefully one day I’ll meet you at a meet or something
Yes...you took my advice... amazing so happy for you!
Woohoo, thanks again bud!
legend pal!! solved pretty much most of my problems big respect for your videos 🤛🏻
Thanks Dave, glad you enjoyed. 😁
Had the video playing in the car when I drove passed Lidl and saw you parked up with that tent box 😂
Haha, that’s me. Keep an eye out for future tent box videos. 👀

This motivated the fuck out of me. HELL YES! 😂

Hey James, got this from Halfords. It’s quite old now but they’ve got an updated version for sale. 😁

Yep just double checked and all seems well, double checked clearances around the engine as far as I could see and again all good. 😁
Did you noticed any improvement after replacing The motor mount unde The battery vs replacing only The right side one?
I only really tested the car after changing both so can’t really comment.
Hello mate I’ve got the same problem with mine do you have the links of where you purchased it from thank you
Hi mate, I got these off eBay. Can’t seem to find the link as it was so long ago. 😞
@xiolage Hi there I saw you used a blue silicone pipe off the turbo do you know where I can get that pipe from and the size diameter bc I wanna do the same to mine
I can’t remember where I got the pipe but the company logo says J2 on it. Not sure if that’s any help?
@@xiolage thanks for replying back to my comment I will have a look

Also where did you buy the engine mounts? Have you got links? Thanks bud

Hi m8, have you got the link for your bulbs please keep up the gd work
Hi mate, they’re from AutoBeam. It’s easier for you to select your vehicle and bulb type yourself as that’ll make sure you get the right ones. 😊
Pleaseeee do a tent box video I’ve one for a while but been so indecisive about it plus I got a ZS focus sooo when’s it coming out? 😉
Tent box video coming very soon, keep your eyes peeled. 😁👀
Did you use genuine ford mounts or aftermarket?
I use the genuine ones. 😁
Is it possible to change my ford focus 2.0 trend tdci 2013 powershift to look and feel like an ST or RS?
Depending on how much money you want to spend I’m sure you can do it. 😊
When’s the tent box video being uploaded? Thought it was today
Will be uploaded tomorrow afternoon, having some trouble with a few clips. 😁
Have you had this mapped yet mate?
Yep, it ended up making 140bhp 😊

Night and day difference mate, you won’t believe how much it changes. Are you coming to Ford Fair? 😁
@@xiolage not this time I’m not unfortunately but definitely the next one! Are you gonna be in the show part?
Yep will be there with FFOC Ford Focus Owners Club. 😁
Told you🤣. My mk3 was the same
ECU is in front of the passenger front wheel
Cheers Matt, in that case I’m still not sure what’s in that panel in front of the battery. 😂😁
Look like u got hell a lot of shit with that focus man 😳
All part of the fun I guess, keeps me busy!
