What about the fuses?

See what you mean Sparky. Googling "Ford Galaxy Forum" does state "that this site may harm your computer" I normally just use my 'history' to visit this site, not by Google. Gregers, any luck with getting a resonse from Glen?

No problems at my end, using AVG Internet Security Suite 2012, Spybot Search & Destroy and Malwarebytes (latter two constantly monitoring sites and internet traffic, highly recommended) So strange that you are encountering these problems. Have you tries clearing your cookies? run a spyware program then do a full virus scan.

Did some research and come to conclusion that you could possibly have a V6, i found this for you: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Galaxy-Mk2-00-06-ALTERNATOR-V6-24v-/330752915848?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4d0268f988

Ebay would be your best or local scrappies. I got mine from eBay and quite cheap even though i was desperate at the time, i managed to get one with the car off the road only for two days. P.S. Please add full vehicle description of your car so other members could possibly help out.

My late brother's family has a mk3 on a 56 plate. Has been up and down the country between Scotland and me (West Yorkshire) like a yo-yo and has never missed a beat. The only thing that had to get done for the last MOT was a couple of tyres and 1 or 2 suspension components (bushes), but like i have said, wear and tear items. My nephew does get it serviced regularly, so yes, look after it and it should repay you back with years of trouble-free motoring.

Goldgalaxy, gold writing, i take it the colour of your galaxy is gold? Well anyway, the first question you asked is the 64000 dollar question. Theoretically speaking, if an engine is looked after then they should be no reason why it shouldn't achieve 'spacecraft' mileage albeit changing wear and tear items. Second question, the engines fitted in the mk3's are Ford engines called 'Duratorq'. The 2.0 ltr producing either 130PS or 140PS. Clutch....depends on how you drive your car. Mine is a mk2, done 167k miles and still on the original clutch! Hope, i have cleared some of your queries, if not, drop us another post. P.S. Glad you like your mk3.

Alright Stevie, Welcome to the forum mate. So you bought the last of the Mk2's? Excellent choice. My next car would be the same i.e. Mk2's but i may go for the 150bhp which are like hens teeth. Any problems, gives us a shout. P.S. I know you got a Mk2 but please add your vehicle details in your signature, just that it would make it easier for members to identify what car you got.

As already said, the problem could be anything. If you have a laptop, then buy yourself a cheap cable from eBay, download the free software and do the scan as opposed to paying garages upto £50 just for the diagnostics. Once that is done, post your scan results here and i am sure someone will help you. Try this link for the cable: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/280905235590?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

I'm at a loss..... why disable it if you wear the belt?

Just think about the holiday you could have next year with an extra two grand plus to spend... :o Yeah, i could go abroad with the family instead of going back to 'sunny' Scotland!

Sorry, i don't know about the petrol version. In my diesel, i use Comma Xtreme G30 which according to their website, is also suitable for your car.

Please let us know more details of the car so we can advice accordingly. i.e.fuel/year/engine code etc etc

There is a small inspection/access hatch in the wheel arch but you need tiny hands or loads of patience to get the bulb changed.

Definitely not through the Channel Tunnel i.e. Eurotunnel - maybe on the ferry though.
