Mine's all tucked up in the corner of my driveway for two weeks while disappear on holiday, so you're all on your own in this thread until I get back 
Who owns a Mondeo ST220 / ST TDCI?
- Thread starter Howard
- Start date

In response to the xenon post above, they're the best mod I've done to mine to date. Love em. Love the weather here on this Thai island too

I ran mine from the cigarette lighter
The only source of permanent power I can think of up there is the rear view mirror, and that's probably fiddly. I just ran the cable behind the glovebox and up the A pillar and above the roof lining.
I'm having a JP exhaust at some point in the near future. Might treat the car to it as a 100,000 mile present if it reaches 100,001 miles without blowing up.
Is it sad that having got home a couple of hours ago, I'm looking forward to driving mine tomorrow? 
Wheel refurb along with the exhaust is something can see happening at some point in the near future, too!
Mine were done at some point before I got the car as they're silver, but they're starting to flake a bit. I'm not interested in the diamond cut finish, will just find a reputable place and get them blasted and re-done in silver.
The V6 in mine is greater, sorry

My issue is the need of the car - need to find a place which is reputable and who can loan me some temporary wheels
Yes I will indeed Rybo
Will need to splash out on some new centre caps to go along with the refurb too as they're a bit scabby. Both issues aren't really noticeable from a distance but I'm a bit anal

Behave.
We absolutely loved it mate thanks. Such a fantastic diverse place. I've got 1,200 photos to go through and edit, you're welcome to add me on Facebook or something if you so wish
Just been out for a blast - Felt good driving this thing again, had a good hoon
Also remembered the rimz for Rybo. Excuse the filth, I'm going to clean it later or tomorrow and can take more then if required:

This is absolutely true - we saw a few families with young children in parts where they just seemed bored / out of place - granted there's lots for families to do, like the Elephant Nature Park in Chiang Mai - stunning place, but yeah.
They're not perfect, but they're not horrendous no. They're slowly getting worse though - I sometimes notice a little bit more bubbling or scabbing as I'm washing them.
Yep. These. It's a fun job.
Well everyone's different so I guess you just need to experiment with the eight-way adjustment. I have my seat as low as it'll go, tilted back slightly, with the back at a comfortable not-too-reclined angle and far enough back so that my arms are slightly bent when holding the wheel.
Yes probably, and in hindsight I wish I had done!!
Sheesh. For that money I'd want AT LEAST calipers and carriers, and preferably disks and maybe pads.
Seems a bit much unless they're proper as new refurbs!
They've shot up in price lately, because of the demand from people on forums who think they're the best thing since sliced bread, though. It all just seems a bit OTT for some second hand bog standard, albeit slightly larger single piston calipers. Even the price of a pair of second hand xenon headlamps is nearer £300 on average now as opposed to £200 a year or so ago.
I'll have those brakes, the exhaust and the LSD but I'm not fussed about the rest of the mods on it. I'd probably rather find a nice standard one, although it at least seems to have been owned by someone intelligent who looked after it. Seems like he was ripped off for that ICE though
I'd just replace the aux belt and tensioners/idler pulleys at the same time - I plan to do mine at some point and probably the water pump belt as a preventative thing as really they're service items - they do rattle and vibrate like you said when they start to wear out, and they can take the belt with them, or at least cause it to wear more excessively. Not so vital on our engines as the cam shafts are chain driven and so you'll just lose the ancillaries, but still.
And a belt
How much are the parts directly from Ford?
