Thinking of getting these myself, that MJ scene killed me hahaha

[@evieemaya88]

Hahaha me too mate actually played it about 10 times, creasing

[@erickkylo3857]

I guess Im asking randomly but does anyone know of a trick to get back into an instagram account?? I was dumb forgot my password. I would love any tips you can offer me

[@augustjerry3652]

@Erick Kylo Instablaster ;)

[@INV3RT1989]

Laughed more than I should have at that Michael Jackson bit 😂

[@anthonosrobertos]

He he...

[@stefanzdraveski]

I bought TDCI 140hp 2009 Mondeo last week :) I am enjoying this videos! Thanks man! :)

[@Leslienewman12]

Love Mondeos drove every model in my working Life never let me down interesting seeing you work on them

[@raymcvey]

James - it's worth putting some rags in the recesses where bolts, washers and part are likely to fall down and get lost. Then you can retrieve them if the worst happens.

[@LickyDischarge]

I do love how real and down to earth your videos feel. And that MJ bit was brilliant 😂😂😂

[@radulescu21]

Dark ice also makes a short shifter for these. It's just a ball joint you put over the existing one at the end of the shift cable. A simple little thing but really shortens the throw about 15-20%. Makes it the way it should have been.

[@Abauto84]

James your awesome I've always wanted to get bonnet gas struts and now I know how to install them thank you for another brilliant video 👍

[@paddyhall523]

Keep an eye on the bonnet release cable, known for snapping in the worst place. Dark Ice do an aftermarket cable that takes minutes to install. - Paddy

[@mikehunt8968]

Happened to mine☹ An absolute barsteward to fix too....

[@gremmygremmington2587]

Do the rear main oil seal whilst your in there as well, you’ll thank me later 👌😂

[@carlswarbrick739]

Fair plays looking forward to these vids. I got a 2010 mondeo. Always been a great car had it for 8 years now. Make sure u clean and grease the bonnet catch lock. When I drys out it tells u that the bonnet isn't locked and alarm goes of constantly and also can unlock the car to. So be aware its a common fault on them.

[@ManUtd57920]

Liked the video before watching because I knew it was going to be 🔥🔥🔥

[@benholroyd5221]

A dumpster fire?

[@riepppppi]

I’ve used those Dark Ice Design struts on my 2019 SEAT Ibiza KJ and it’s perfect!!

[@stevecarter529]

Replaced the battery on my 2013 Mk 4 estate. Smashed my head a dozen times. This mod is for me. Thanks. I will be watching the rest of the series.

[@zakellis8746]

I was considering doing gas struts on my bonnet, brilliant video. I’m a new subscriber but slowly working my way though the vids. Love them !!!

[@ianatkinson8464]

Good stuff, looking forward to you starting on the clutch.

[@scorcha100]

That was an excellent video. Thats exactly what I’m gonna get ordered and fitted to mine 👌🏾

[@chicocosta5545]

Good and nice mod! I had the same problem, I'm 195cm and it was a big problem with my head pop up at the bonner.... Really nice... I have to buy one of it... Thank you for your demonstration...

[@paultaylor9652]

Great little modification, keep the videos coming as we're almost in to spring now.

[@markplenty2631]

That’s a great mod! 10/10 for you and the company!

[@stephenwilliams926]

You may find after heavy rain when you open the rear hatch it floods the boot with rainwater. The later models have reflecter plates fitted to stop this happening.

[@ajmarch]

The bonnet prop will be for cost saving before the cars get to the showroom. In early life a car bonnet isn't opened anywhere near as much (in general) so it makes sense to have struts on the boot but not on the bonnet. (Work for Ford).

[@jeffreyhubbick4370]

Great work as normal like watching the videos you do very in depth 👍🏼

[@MT-rc3gn]

Hope all is well man. Just remembered your channel & how much i liked watching your videos last winter. Will definitely buy a mk4 Mondeo soon 😂

[@1066gaz]

Another good feature of this is if you don't click down the bonnet properly and you drive down the motorway and the bonnet flips up it won't be as fierce coming back and not cause damage as it would i guess without it.

[@TW-80]

I've just fitted this kit today after watching this a while ago, I saw him drop the square and as a tip I would say wrap a finger with some tape sticky side out so it sticks to your finger. A lot easier than hoping it wont fall

[@jarlrise]

Thanks for the video, just ordered a kit for my own Mondeo, now that I know it fits!

[@stuartroberts1011]

Yes been watching your videos for a while And now your working on a car I have 👍 Keep up the good work sir.

[@mortymann9610]

have the same strut kit on my MK4 now for 1 year, still works and makes every little things easier :)

[@kristianwalker8548]

Keep up the good work, really looking forward to watching the vids of the mk4, hopefully get some more motivation and inspiration for mine 👍

[@mkm7962]

It's the simple mods that seem to have the practicality and worth doing when working under the bonnet a lot. 👍

[@KrozMcD]

Just want to say, the transition from static camera to head cam is really refreshing. Nice to see from your POV while you work. Also, would love to see a detail clean on that engine bay!

[@andymuller8883]

Great video, I haven’t watched you since you’ve changed the power steering pump on the MK3. Glad I found you again working on a MK4. Thank you.

[@skodakatie7341]

Great little modification, simple yet effective!!.

[@ismailbeygirci9394]

i love the mondeo content!!

[@BlackBullPistol]

I have just bought a used 2007 mk4 and this mod is brilliant! :-D

[@ACDC1998Zippo]

Simple and useful mod. Great video as always James :)

[@londoncentral]

Great Video again 👍 Yes used those struts on my Focus. Great bit of kit 👍

[@robbietiz1702]

Awesome. I defo need a set of these bad boys. Cheers buddy.

[@fergalfoley6718]

Excellent ! Well done 👏

[@janmenzinga]

I own an MK4 as well (2.0l wagon, Dutch steering) and always wondered why they didn't mount this from fabric, as my former MK3 had. So now I might order a set as well, it looks very easy to install this and the pros are great! Thanks for sharing.

[@bigmacsnoobselectronicsrep8032]

Yet another great job done James keep up the great work

[@carlosbarradas7807]

This is a nice little mod and overlooked sometimes. Makes any car look more modern too besides all the practicality. Good vid. 👍👍

[@trisgriff]

They are brilliant...one of the first mods I did

[@Wetthewhistle]

The majority of new cars don’t have bonnet struts unless you pay for a premium brand. Many also don’t have bonnet struts if they are light weight, they can buckle if they have a strut. Either that or just cost cutting.

[@doktoruzo]

What a wonderful little mod, so easy yet so satisfyingly practical...even my wife could do this...lol Another top video James.

[@stuart9687]

What a great mod 👌 putting on my santa 🎅 wish list, great video. 👍

[@stephencahill1840]

Great video Graham hope the clutch build goes well

[@mikes5637]

Still running my 2001 Mk3 Zetec auto which is on 88,000 miles. Passed the last 3 MOTs first time. Best car I've ever had. But I do want a Mk4 next.

[@nigelbryant5932]

Brilliant job 👌

[@paulcresswell2279]

Watched you from day 1 and still enjoying your videos.

[@jamesredfern999]

Just picked up a mk4 myself. Will be watching with interest. Waiting to see some other mods. 👍

[@paulcloughton4000]

Nice first mod. Looking forward to the mondeo series of vids.👍

[@ianrimmer1968]

Great video. Good decision to do the dmf whilst you’ve got the gearbox out. Can’t wait for that video 😀👍

[@iandeeks8980]

That MJ clip literally made me chuckle aloud - nice mod!

[@JohnWilliams-qm9zp]

Is it bad I knew what the video was about before I watched it? Cant wait to watch the next few vids! Keep it up dude!

[@benriches7724]

This had me creasing , great video 👌🏼

[@paulcarden255]

Kevin Albert Williams is the clutch ninja and has video of him doing a 1.8 TDCi. Which was brilliant reference for when I did my Galaxy 2.0 TDCi. Cracking car, good luck.

[@andyjrichie6709]

Great little peace of kit for tall folk. Great video 👍

[@zielniak85]

I'm always fitting dual to single flywheel conversion kit. Never been disappointed!

[@michalsandor1862]

I started watching your videos about a year ago and i like what u do becasue all off the other mechanics just try and wast peoples time but if they where like u i think all cars would be running sweet as honey keep up the good work

[@jokerfred69]

Loving the content mate. Keep it up :D

[@stevenbugg6442]

I’m finding my self strangely addicted to this channel at the moment lol!

[@shaunleonard8146]

Great Mod!

[@andyvann6968]

Nice video lad keep up the good work

[@DANO2015]

Great video James, My scirocco didn't have these from factory either, so I got the same brand kit, great quality too 👍🏻 but my wife's 2007 volvo v70 came with them from the factory 🤔👍🏻

[@haydenhoneyfield6155]

I do love a mondeo I got one myself there really good cars do love my fords keep it going

[@brun_s]

To be honest with you mate, these sort of videos aren’t ones I would personally normally watch.. however I enjoy how you always seem to run everything through clearly and don’t skip steps as many other youtubers do.. good job mate 👏🏻

[@brun_s]

And by these type of videos I meant I prefer the more mechanical videos you do

[@MendItModIt]

They make such a difference, I’ve just fitted some bonnet struts on my fiesta project. I was going to say you could have done the passenger side first as it would hold while you did the drivers side so you can get the original prop out of the way but your bonnet must be a lot heavier than mine 😂 great video James. Keep it up 👍🏻

[@jozwa75]

Thank you for this video. Just ordered…

[@michaelmansfield-corbett96]

Isn't it so satisfying when something simple just works. Careful the new struts don't distort the bonnet though

[@waynerountree9284]

Top job great content thanks for sharing

[@nathankennedy6507]

Great vid love the new content already👍

[@petethursby3838]

Wish they did these for Ford Galxy mk3 2006-2015. Bonnet is a right pain. Good vids bud . .

[@mikefandango2296]

This is becoming my favourite channel 👍

[@jasonb7857]

Smashing out these videos this week 👍

[@JJ-zg1hh]

Next tool for the garage you need is a dry ice blast cleaner. It would make that engine bay look brand new. Love the channel - keep them videos coming!

[@jasonlewry3307]

Thank you for the video. I know it’s old now but just what I was looking for. Need the bonnet to clear higher for us tall people. 😊 Ordered

[@jpierpoint]

Good mod, going to do this on mine too.

[@waynenewcombe8184]

What a great useful mod to the mk4 mondeo 👌

[@marraaman]

Satisfying mod👍

[@evieemaya88]

It was at this moment that he knew he had fcuked up 11:24 😂😂😂. Another great vid james

[@lessmitten2387]

Great video james

[@petera8083]

Yeah I’m a little late - Brought the same kit but for my TSI Fabia. Pretty easy to install but retaining clips were a pain ! Looks a lot better - can’t wait to see the end result of this project.

[@robertherrera419]

"OH, shhhh-sugar." Hehe. Nice save there, man. =)

[@mattbarker581]

They look mint👌👌 I've enquired about some for a Corsa D... hope they have some

[@Michel.Paassen]

These a nice and needy upgrade mate..... Glad to see a "new mondeo" on the channel hahaha

[@peterchildress7719]

Love the mod,might get some for my fiesta.I was screening phone ,as your bonnet fell down.🤗

[@vaux_wolf4281]

Nice one with the gas struts James, thought it was good night Vienna for your phone when the bonnet dropped. Good move with the DMF and clutch kit, like you said you don’t need the hassle or regret if you’re in there and don’t change something and it goes at a later date. Looking forward to more content 👍

[@danielp9721]

Great video and great mod

[@connorsherwood636]

Loving the pink shoes

[@jozsef6453]

The lack of fords in the background is depressing...

[@scotspie501douglas7]

love the video great for a monday night

[@johaneskazan3983]

Nice mate

[@Leethemetalwarrior]

I fit these on my Astra J sports tourer, they're great. My old megane had gas struts, couldn't go back to the peasantry bonnet stay!

[@dehv]

Great cars, very underated

[@maxinhooo9679]

Nice little Vid mate! Keep it up.

[@Matt7.5_R]

Repping the Owna jacket..looks siiick👊🏼

[@pauloalexandre8129]

Nice and easy!

[@jaybenjamin2739]

Even though it’s a small mod it actually improves it a bit I reckon. Hope your doing well mate
