10 things I love about my ST mk2. 1- The sound 2- The torque 3- The seats (ST3 leather Recaros) 4- The mid range acceleration 5- It's planted in corners 6- It buggers off out of corners in the right gear 7- All the tuning options available 8- They are cheap to buy and you can mod them at your own pace until you end up with a fantastic car 9- The huge knowledge base on the internet and support from workshops like yourselves. 10- My ST keeps me busy and I love to do stuff on it and enjoy the results.

Great vid lads!! I think I've replaced most of your list. MK2 ST3 130,000miles.... Clutch kit, wheel nuts, heat shield, alternator, had rear bumper/arches repainted and clear rubber strips added in between to stop rubbing, all the bushes got swapped to powerflex, rear drop links done, DRIVE SHRAFT TWICE!!!, she's still running original hoses after 12years so might check them and the oil housing issue you mentioned with the serial number ending in 1.

The only real pain I've had on my 2010 Mk2.5 ST is water ingress. Had it in the boot from the boot hinge cups and both front footwells. Replaced the rear light screws which made no difference. Then after a week of confusion in trying to find it, I sealed up all the seams in that area. No more water ingress in the boot. Didnt do a pretty job, but it effective. Think the car had a front end impact before I bought it. This now has resulted in me getting bulk head seam cracking in the sealant that allows water in. Now all sealed up after 3 or 4 attempts and ok (fingers crossed). Taken 5 years or so since purchase to show itself as an issue. I think this lead to needing a new instrument cluster, the one with the larger sat-nav screen. Now 2 years after that, earlier this year the PATS light in the centre (above the fuel / temp guages) comes on when I am driving, flashing, going off ... repeat. No issues with driving or anything else. My garage have cleaned the connectors to the loom by the fuse box and its stopped doing it. The connectors were a little corroded, so this may also be water ingress linked. Minor annoyance is the boot handle gasket fails to that it rubs the boot. Was doing this for ages, rubbed the paint off back to metal then rusted a bit. Had it fixed and then 2.5 years later it was doing it again. Rarely use the boot aswell so there i'snt an over use issue. Car is 100% standard aswell. I have got a little lacquer peal on the front bumper but thats linked to the possible front ender above but had my rear quarter painted (3dr) as the rear bumper was rubbing and started to bubble. Not totally fixed as it started to rust again very minor where it folds under. ATS hate the wheel nut beauty caps as they are a pain. Had the car since July 2014 and done 17,000 in it, not getting rid any time soon. I do run genuine RS plugs as I have found idle is smoother but is that just me? This is my 2nd one, had an '07 for 4.5 years before this aswell. Want a new reversing camera as mine has it as an optional extra but the dome outer is cracked part way through so it gets condensation it it and isnt great when its damp or wet out. Fine otherwise. All in all, lucky I think as the driveshafts are fine, no cracked liners and no block mod needed.

Why does it say Darren co owner and Ben workshop manager? Do they both not own bd?

M17FST simply because it’s a suitable title considering he’s always hands on... Office Manager just wouldn’t look right for Darren. Thanks for the comments and for continuing to watch 💙

I was wondering; does a mk2 (post facelift) st rearbumper fit on a regular (non st) focus?
@lemur28703 жыл бұрын
All hatchback rear bumpers are interchangeable. You can't fit CC or estate rear bumpers, but all others fit. You might have to modify the wiring for the lights depending on which bumper you get

Frustrating more than anything - nobody likes fixing manufacturers issues... We would rather put a smile on peoples faces with tuning parts than managing repairs... It’s far more satisfying for us and the owner I think you’d agree 🙌 Thanks for taking the time to comment and watch the video. Hope you’ve taken it in the way it was intended 💙
@woooster174 жыл бұрын
BD Performance Definitely took it the right way.. 👍🏼 I thought it was an excellent video. Sadly as these cars get older the fundamental design issues and any weaknesses make themselves more apparent. Though that’s pretty much true for any car I’m guessing..and us, I’m 48 now and feel like I’m starting to fall apart! 😄 Nope definitely a good video, made me laugh....great format 🙌🏼💚

Toecutter12 we just didn’t include it in the video as we thought it was probably a video all of its own! It’s 💯 one of the most costly repairs and the biggest risk we feel. However it’s far more widely publicised than some of the other issues we discussed. Thanks for the comment and great question 🙌
