Same problem here......

Welcome to the site mate, what year/model/colour have you bought then? Ive jsut soem back to the site myself. Regards, Matthew

Hi Maz, All pictures were taken with my Sony Alpha A100 DSLR and Sony 18 - 70mm AF lens, all of the pictures have been resized, framed and reg plates smudged out in Photoshop CS3. The last picure was taken before i fitted teh chrome numberplate holders and it was edited in Photoshop CS3 by selecting around the car and adding a slight blur to the background. I peronally like the effect. When i originally took the picture i used spot focus on my camer and focused on the left headlight. More pics to coem after another detail and possible polish/wax. Regards, Little Matty

Thanks Maz, pleased to hear you like her. My mam loves drving the new galxy, she said it drives like a car rather than a van like the espace did. We havent had any problems yet, The seetign position is great, as it has an electrically adjustable chair and the gear stick is in a great place. The Gearbox however is odd to get used to as 1st and third gears are very close together and they are very easy to get mixed up. My parents dont do forums so im writing purely on what they have said. The galaxy should egt its ultimate test on friday, as we are tkaing our 23 foot Abbery Avantage SL 6 berth caravan to leyburn and we hevnt slotted the towbar in much nevermind towing with her. It should be good anyways providing we get away. Thanks for the warm welcome again. Regards, Matthew

I cant seem to edit my first post, and i forgot to say we got the brink detachable towbar with twin leccys fitted the day after picking the car up. Please comment guys & Girls.....

More Picture, that follow on straight after the other ones.

Well hello again everyone, ive always kept the site on my favourites so that i could return one day, As some of you may remember when i first joined the site we had a 2005 Vauxhall Zafira 1.6i Breeze. We then were looking around for a new car and intened gettign a galaxy or sharan a.k.a a mkII, we then however madly bought a 2005 Renault Espace 2.2 dci Expression, and after 11 months of ownership we were sick of teh removable seats and 22mpg fuel consumption so we decided to go looking again. Two weeks ago we collected the enw car which we are well and truly in love with, she is a 2007 Ford Galaxy Ghia 2.0 TDCi finsihed in kelp metallic, with full napoli perforated leather in charcoal, which in my opinion looks the dogs. I thought i would include some pictures of the new car so yoan all see what it looks like. Well with out further a due, here are the pics. The pictures were taken after i have the car a full 4 hour detail two days after we got her, we had done just under 200 miles this point. I am pleased to report that we are getting 38.7mpg as posed to 22mpg in the espace. After nearly 2 weeks of ownership we are still going wow. Mods to the car so far: - 3.5mm to 3.5mm Aux cable - 3.5mm to I-pod connection Aux Cable - Chrome numberplate holders, Front & Rear - Non Slip Mat under handbrake (For phone to sit on) Possible mods are: - Permenant Rear Roof Bars - Ford Contoured Mudflaps Thanks for reading, more pictures to come soon. Regards, Little Matty

I slept through it, i havent had much sleep latley so i must have been deep asleep lol.....it measured quite hoigh for an earth quake in England though.... and they say to expect worse ones in the next 20-30 years... Regards, little Matty

Thanks everyone,it isnt really just the mpg its the car on the whole, ^_^ there is a black 1.9 Lx 2002 (o2 reg) for sale nere here with 135k on the clock but interior is so tidy!!!

We are currently looking for a good condition mkII Galaxy, or mkII sharan or MkII Alhambra, Espace is costing a bomb in fuel prices for our 2.2 dci deisel unit, we are getting maximum of 28mpg and thats on long journeys. We have seen a couple of nice examples..... i always knew we would end up looking for a galaxy again :D Thanks, Matty :D
