As a heads up, you can buy the belt and tensioner as a kit (or separately) for £30ish off the well known auction site, you can also buy just the tensioner wheel for around £12 as it simply bolts onto the tensioner.

[@retrorestore]

Yes Andy, I found that out afterwards. I'm lucky to have the breakers yard on my doorstep and saved the day. Thanks for the comment. Cheers Martin

[@andylarner7167]

Yes Martin you are :), so many tat yards pre-strip the cars of parts and charge accordingly for off the shelf now, many a fond memory of my dad taking me to the big breakers yards looking for a part for his MK2 Cortina, i used to collect badges whilst bird nesting :) those were the days mate :)

[@Sickiey]

@@andylarner7167 wont let yo do that any more,,, for Health and F**king Safety ,, I used to walk about a bike yard,, and I did scrape my leg,,, and it was awesome :)

[@deebee311]

My husband says: Very clearly filmed and explained, excellent video.

[@bali1876]

Best channel for people with mondeo very helpful mate

[@retrorestore]

Much appreciated

[@N1H1L9]

Finally someone deserving of a 'thumbs up. Well done fella; this takes a lot of stress out of jobs like this.

[@simonjohnhinton1938]

My mate has a 2.2 tdci ghia x that I think needs the belt kit. I did it on my 2.0 duratec ghia x and it's now nice and quiet. It cost me about £55 all in which is pretty good. Your saving people a lot of money with your well constructed videos! Keep up the good work.

[@yalcinjohn8750]

Great video once again. Keep it up as everyone enjoys these videos am surprised u don't have a tv show as this is more entertaining than anything on TV.

[@retrorestore]

Haha, thanks for that bud. As long as people enjoy them, i'll keep doing them. Cheers Martin

[@kevinmcnally9872]

Brilliant. My son recently bought a 2007 Mk3 2.2 st tdci and had a problem with the central locking . went on your site and had it sorted in minutes. Keep up the good videos

[@retrorestore]

Thanks Kevin.

[@alvaroherranz9706]

Excelent video Martin! Ford needs to hire you as CEO.

[@retrorestore]

Haha They wouldn't want my lol

[@keithatkins929]

Best car video I've ever seen. You explained it so even I understood it.

[@DAVEEYEINTHESKY]

As always another awesome video Martin, it's great watching your how to videos and you never fail to cheer me up. thanks for sharing that with us and it a thumbs up from me

[@retrorestore]

Thanks Dave, Made a good saving on this one. Cheers Martin

[@zedman442]

Nice cheap,fix Martin, you must have a decent breakers yard near you as the ones round here are all,rubbish. We used to spend hours in scrap yards ripping bits of cars in my younger days! Nice video.

[@retrorestore]

Yes, it's handy, only 5 mins away. I love breakers yards lol. Cheers Martin

[@CatoBT]

Thanks for the very instructive video. I'm about to change the power steering pump, so I guess replacing the tensioner and the belt at the same time would be a good idea.

[@retrorestore]

Nice one Cato, good luck bud.

[@HM.Hatchet205]

glad the videos are back 👍 i had the same problem on my transit we wanna see you paint your transit soon :)

[@retrorestore]

Haha, nice one Harry, I will get round to it this year lol. I think I said that in 2015 as well lol.

[@Britec09]

Love the breakers yard, they are sadly dying out around here. Sound is good, I can't get mine to sound as good as that Martin.

[@retrorestore]

Yes so do I Bri lol. Bit muddy yesterday though lol. What sound Bri?

[@Britec09]

The sound on your video sounds good, I can't seem to get the sound right on mine, it sounds crap when I use H1 Zoom

[@retrorestore]

I always use a tie mic and the Zoom H1. I got the mic from Ebay for around £12.00

[@Britec09]

You got a link for it?

[@retrorestore]

Can't find the exact one but this is similar www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Cardioid-Tie-Clip-Microphone-Compatible-Sennheiser-AKG-Shure-Audio-Technica-/301331392644?var=&hash=item4628c02884:m:mp6Fg3QtXOACK-iKPf-SLwg with the 3.5mm jack 1.2 meters long.

[@markbowles8847]

top job martin.. surprising what you can save when you do some research.. another job you've done made to look easy.. look forward to the next :) all the best - Mark

[@retrorestore]

Thanks Mark, Yes, this time it all went well for a change lol.

[@bevangarner]

Will make a good used car one day to someone, it's had loads of new parts on it lol. Least you have done all the work yourself as it would of been scrap if you didn't. Another good vid Martin. Look forward to the next one

[@retrorestore]

Yes, Bevan, anyone else would have scrapped it long ago but I use it to make my vids as it's good content. Cheers Martin

[@bevangarner]

retrorestore cheers for reply Martin. I'm heading your way next Friday as got a lodge at bainlands near woodhall spa for the weekend. What's jimmys Facebook page?

[@retrorestore]

Here you go Bevan facebook.com/jbsautobodyandpaint Cheers Martin

[@cabdriveruk]

Great video Martin. That car certainly has had nearly every job imaginable done to it lol what's next ? lol. But good work getting it sorted Martin and getting the tensioner cheap. look forward to more great video's Martin. Cheers, Jeff.

[@retrorestore]

If it was anybody else's Jeff, it would have been scrapped ages ago lol. Cheers Martin

[@Wtf11qq]

love the vids Martin that's why I love going to the old scrappies for cheap parts lol 150 bucks way you go. since I have been watching and subscribed to your channel am always looking for broken lawn mowers :-) lol keep up the good work and also the same to jimy :-)

[@retrorestore]

Haha, nice one Gareth, There's plenty of them about and the lawnmowers are easy money once you know how to repairthem. Cheers Martin

[@petefroud5308]

Where do they get the prices from Martin . 150 quid thats Toyota prices . Fair play getting one for 3.20 . Nice fix as well. Cheers Pete.

[@retrorestore]

Yes, it's a joke. As Brian said, they should have said there might be a cheaper option by just buying the jockey wheel but they are not interested in that. Cheers Martin

[@mkl0707]

This guy should litt have his own tv show

[@blackvanandrobin6413]

nice to see you back doing some great D I Y videos thank goodness Igleburt Humperdink didn t yurn up again in his Trans am

[@retrorestore]

Haha Robin, I'll tell him that lol.

[@moodyjeep]

Nice Job Mart, & saved a shed load of Wonga lol. Baz.......

[@retrorestore]

Hope it allows others to make the same saving Baz. Cheers Martin

[@jsof2]

Nice one Martin - another good result on the Mondeo. Those main dealers just take the p*ss with charges for parts - thank God for breakers.

[@retrorestore]

Yes, I really didn't want to pay that so it was handy to have the breakers so near. Cheers Martin

[@rbyz8438]

Good video

[@jaggass]

Good job Martin.

[@retrorestore]

Thanks Michael

[@shawnmrfixitlee6478]

Good job Martin ! Thumbs up man..

[@retrorestore]

Thanks Shawn, Saved some money on this job. Cheers Martin

[@Parknest]

This is one of the times when it is worth fitting a used part from a breaker. It is easy enough to check the condition of the part and at that price it was worth a punt.

[@retrorestore]

Yes it was, It's a great saving and worth sharing this vid. Cheers Martin

[@bricomaher]

Thank you so much

[@cmac5110]

great vid mate

[@retrorestore]

Thanks Colin. Cheers Martin

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

nice vid mate

[@retrorestore]

Cheers Leon, saved a few bob on this one. Cheers Martin

[@andytaylor9032]

Another job sorted! Windleys by any chance? 😀

[@retrorestore]

Haha, yes it was. very handy place. Cheers Martin

[@samisedraoui585]

Dear, thanks for this great video. I have the same problem with my mondeo tdci Duratorq 2l. Do you have please a description of the tensioner removal because in the video we can't see this step. In advance thank you for your help! You are the best!

[@retrorestore]

I don't have the car any more bud, sorry.

[@dighsx]

[@vdubs6068]

Great video mate

[@retrorestore]

Cheers bud. Hope it helps someone make a saving. Cheers Martin

[@dieseldriveway5195]

hi martin love the channel. can you do a video on how to do the drive belt on the otherside of the engine.... looks a nightmare. cheers mike

[@retrorestore]

Yes Mike, it is a nightmare, I've not done mine yet but when I do, i'll film it.

[@stevemoore999]

Hi Martin, bit of a different subject, I have a Mondeo mk3 2.0 petrol and the engine management light is not working, it never comes on when I turn on the ignition. My question is, could it be a fuse? If not is it a single bulb that can be replaced? Thanks Steve

[@retrorestore]

Yes Steve, it's probably the bulb. I have a video for removing the dash binnacle. Cheers Martin

[@stevemoore999]

Thanks Martin, will give it a go

[@TheMaintenancePlumber]

My belt went on my van just b4 I set off lol good thing I was outside my house

[@retrorestore]

Yes Dan, Mine could have gone on my 400 mile journey, that would have buggered the day up. Cheers Martin

[@markellis4229]

Nice work Martin cheap as chips To fix 😀

[@retrorestore]

Yes Mark, well happy with that job.

[@markellis4229]

Sorry Martin but I forgot to put thumbs up on your video i have now

[@retrorestore]

Thanks Mark :)

[@chrislogan8283]

Thanks for share-ing martin, Now do the triumph LOL

[@retrorestore]

[@shanekneeshaw3483]

That's price was fantastic that yard can't make must profit I think I will be bringing my car to you from now on hsha fantastic

[@retrorestore]

Haha, yes I was well pleased finding that part at that price Shane. Cheers Martin

[@brams77]

Another great video, hows the trotter van coming along?

[@retrorestore]

Thanks Dave, I should have started it this week but i've had a few things to deal with. On it very soon, Cheers Martin

[@Sickiey]

Take out the Batter and battery Box,,, it give you so much more room and only an extra 5 mins

[@omeulabrador]

my mondeo have the door open light on on dashboard. when i open the doors its the key all open , but to close, only the drive door closes. the command doesn't work...any idea??! please..

[@retrorestore]

I have a video on Mondeo door locks in my playlist on cars Pedro.

[@omeulabrador]

thanks for you answer. I saw some videos but i+m not sure if any is about the same problem it's strange the the two problems at the same time. the issue wit the door and the rear turn light without any power. may be a broken cable?!?!? don't have tools too check this weekend. if i get some useful information about this i will share. Regards

[@DaEmOnXaO]

Hi, great videos . I watched all your mondeo videos .Can you help me with a problem .I have the same engine and my mondeo revs at 950 not at 900 like it shoud .Can you please tell me what is the problem ? Now at start it jumps at 1000 and 950 and after few seconds it's stops at 950

[@retrorestore]

It could be many things bud, Air leak may be the cause but without checking, it's hard to say.

[@DaEmOnXaO]

Thank you . Can be the egr valve ?I didn't clean it never .

[@GregsMowing]

Good stuff. Going new paint on the transit wheel arch?

[@retrorestore]

Yes I will when I've sorted the rust on the sliding door as well. Yet another project lol.

[@GregsMowing]

retrorestore looking forward to that and the trotter van

[@brianpercival1829]

OMG! That is outrageous. I always go to the salvage yard first thing. I'm glad you did the same and that is a bargain. I looked up your engine and same as a Ford Focus 2 L TDCI over here so I found just the pulley replacement as well. www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/ford,2010,focus,2.0l+l4,1444693,belt+drive,idler+pulley,6956

[@retrorestore]

Yes, it's ridiculous Bri. They don't let you know there might be a cheaper option but the breakers yard is 5 minutes away so it was the thing to try first. Cheers Martin

[@stevenwilson133]

is the transit rotten again only seems 2 mins since you was welding away on it lol

[@retrorestore]

Haha, the transit on that side is solid, it's just I've got to do the sliding door before I finish that side.

[@ДамиряМамбетова]

Как всегда, приятно смотреть! Спасибо!

[@retrorestore]

Благодарим Вас за просмотр видео. Рад, что вам понравилось. С уважением Мартин

[@TheTopD]

I went from fixing my car to meditating in my engine bay

[@FattyDoveRacing]

What's the intro music?

[@retrorestore]

I had it created for my channel.

[@sledzium]

Its a TDDI engine, not TDCI.

[@retrorestore]

Yes, I realised what I said after filming but it was too late then
