Sorry, my fault - my fingertips were in action on the computer before my brain :wacko: But as confirmed by sepulchrave, the disconnecting of the battery will reset the ecu to base settings. Let us know how you get on.

This guy has a cylinder head for sale, he may have the other parts you require - try him.

Get a full breakdown of what is going to be fitted from the garage that quoted you

Tell me to 'shut-up' but even though this is an interesting debate going on here - the original poster only asked if he could fit them to his car yet rather than give him a straight answer like what mk2vr6 did , the replies have gone on a little astray. Why not start a new thread named 'What annoys you about other drivers driving habits' I noticed the OP is a fairly new member - he maybe to scared to come back now. Rant over.

Mines started to sound exactly like the OP's issue this week - just hope it's the drop links and not the steering rack as the above post stated. Off sick from work at the moment so the car isn't get used - will report back once i'm up and running again! (and start getting paid again)

Been a member with AA now since 2003, manage to get mega discount on renewal this year. Also, i had my money's worth from them been recovered 280 miles on 2 ocassions in the past which no doubt would have cost me a fortune. But before you decide on anyone one of them check all the small print.

Ehh????? :huh: Am i missing something here like 'Krypton Factor' sort of problem?

Well he would say that considering it now kaput. B) Personally, when i buy a car, the first thing that gets done is a full service including all belts (and tensioners) unless you have documented proof from a main dealer (or reputable garage) that it has been done according to the schedule. So, if anything goes wrong, you can take them all the way. But since MO4 bought a second-hand car from Joe Bloggs then i would take his word with a pinch of salt.

A man walks into a pharmacy and wanders up and down the aisles. The salesgirl notices him and asks if she can help him. He answers that he looking for a box of tampons for his wife. She directs down the correct aisle. A few minutes later, he deposits a huge bag of cotton balls on the counter. She says, confused, "Sir, I thought you were looking for tampons for your wife?" "You see it's like this. Yesterday, I sent my wife to the store to get me a carton of Cigarettes and she came home with a tin of tobacco and some rolling paper. So, I figure, if I have to roll my own, SO DOES SHE!" A married couple was in a terrible accident where the woman's face was severely burned. The doctor told the husband that they couldn't graft any skin from her body because she was too skinny. So the husband offered to donate some of his own skin. However, the only skin on his body that the doctor felt was suitable would have to come from his buttocks. The husband and wife agreed that they would tell no one about where the skin came from, and requested that the doctor also honor their secret. After all, this was a very delicate matter. After the surgery was completed, everyone was astounded at the woman's new beauty. She looked more beautiful than she ever had before! All her friends and relatives just went on and on about her youthful beauty! One day, she was alone with her husband, and she was overcome with emotion at his sacrifice. She said, "Dear, I just want to thank you for everything you did for me. There is no way I could ever repay you." "My darling," he replied, "I get all the thanks I need every time I see your mother kiss you on the cheek." Recent research shows that there are 7 kinds of sex: The 1st kind of sex is called: Smurf Sex. This kind of sex happens when you first meet someone and you both have sex until you are blue in the face. The 2nd kind of sex is called: Kitchen Sex. This is when you have been with your partner for a short time and you are so horny you will have sex anywhere, even in the kitchen. The 3rd kind of sex is called: Bedroom Sex. This is when you have been with your partner for a long time. Your sex has gotten routine and you usually have sex only in your bedroom. The 4th kind of sex is called: ! Hallway Sex. This is when you have been with your partner for too long. When you pass each other in the hallway you both say "screw you". The 5th kind of sex is called: Courtroom Sex. This is when you cannot stand your wife any more. She takes you to court and screws you in front of everyone. The 6th kind is called Religious Sex, which means you get Nun in the morning, Nun in the afternoon and Nun at night. OOPS. Don't forget the 7th kid of sex - Social Security Sex. You get a little each month. But not enough to live on! ;)

If you are really struggling then PM me the registration number and i'll see what i can do for you.

As far as i know the various diesel's power outputs, the 90ps has all silver TDi badges, the 110ps has a red i, the 115ps has a red Di, and the 130ps has all red TDi on the Galaxy. You looking at a 2005 model then you can disregard the 90 and 110bhp, so 99% sure it's the 130bhp. Haven't a clue how to tell if it's a 150bhp - try the logbook or phone Frauds the dealers - give them the reg number and see what comes up. Lets us know.

Same here - link obviously not working. P.S. Try this one. Yep, it is a very sad world we live in nowadays. :P Personally speaking, i portion some of the blame on parents (which i know will cause a great heated debate here but that could be discussed on a another ocassion.)

Try this one.

Try this also for a more detailled explanation: http://www.fordgalaxy.org.uk/ford/index.ph...ost&id=4264 Hope it helps and keep us updated.

You mean to say that before you took the car for service that you hadn't looked at the tyres to see they were practically bold! Especially being the front ones considering they are only a few feet away from the drivers door.....................

Hi, eBay would be your best bet or unless you go to a scrappies/dismantlers and be lucky enough to find one in the glove compartment.

Thanks Kev - now sorted. Ahh, i also see the sense of humour hasn't changed one bit! :16:

Well i'm back after being away from this excellent forum for near enough two years! Whats with the changes here, i mean you click on a subject then you have to click on all the individual replies, it took me 5 minutes to read one subject ;) Anyway rant over, still got my Galaxy and so far so good and in the last two years got a job as a bloody bus driver in the glorious city of Edinburgh :) Tramworks, Fringe festival, bin men on strike you name it we got it. You know what - it good to see all the old members still here and i see mumof4 (or has the number changed? :) ) is still having problems! Christ woman, you have been through the mill! Well anyway, it's late now and i promise i won't disappear again (not that you'll miss me). I look forward to having a wonderful and fruitful relationship with you guys and gals again. Bye for now or as we say in Scotland - Cheerio!

I would have thought that the difference of 10 bhp between the two would not be noticeable - maybe a few tenths of seconds quicker in the 0 - 60 debate!

Firstly, you would not be able to fit a spacesaver to your car because of the weight of the car which means that the tyres have to be reinforced to cope with the extra weight. Secondly, it looks like the wrong size spare was supplied to you - even though you have 16" alloys, it should still have 16" steel as a spare.
