  1. No picture, but process is hereCambelt FAQ
  2. There is a pipe joint near the back too and, it can leak into the rear door and you get a [blue] puddle in the depression around the rear door lock.
  3. What on earth was done at the service for
  4. You should not tow start a diesel car. When you say "temperature light" - is that a red over temp alarm light near the temp gauge or a yellow light that looks like a coil (which should go out after 2 - 10 seconds). Lowish level of fuel should not be a problem, but empty - will be.
  5. Mine leaks out of the tailgate and into the the dished recess where the rear door catch is.
  6. 5 minute job - if you have a longish torx screwdriver to loosen the 3 or 4 retaining bolts to fully romove the headlight unit forwards. It's been covered on here before.
  7. Therefore, you need to replace the two handbrake cables at the rear of the car.
  8. Yes it can, or, a faulty brake light switch on the pedal
  9. It is dangerous to overfill a diesel engine with lubricating oil. If the level is too high, the oil can blow past the pistons, self fuelling the engine, you can't stop it, the revs increase until the engine blows up! That stops it!! I would get them to take out 2 litres, then put in again slowly until the MAX mark is reached. They probably didn't measure 4 - 4.5 litres or topped it up just after running the engine.
  10. Does it start OK in the cold weather? How old is the battery? Clicking can only be a relay "chattering" or more likely the starter solenoid trying to engage when the battery is low on charge. Try a new battery. Do the brake lights work? Check the brake pedal switch is working.
  11. There was a thread two weeks ago about severe wear on the INSIDE 2 inches of the rears on cars. Like mine. Same answers.
  12. Choose a battery here - you probably want a 096 type - BATTERIES
  13. Turn on ignition, dont start engine, engage reverse gear. Get on your hands and knees and put your ear near each parking sensor, you should hear a ticking noise if they are working.
  14. See this thread heated screen
  15. There have been many, mant threads about the auxilary heater over the last three weeks with pictures too. Sacn back over the list. Also look at the FAQs [at the top of the page]- thread no.1
  16. Both of my rears, AVONS, have no tread on the inner 1 inch but nearly as good as new on the rest!
  17. See thread no.1 in the FAQs list. The glowplug, GH001, is currently
  18. On eBay, there's a guy in Portugal who sells them sometimes.
  19. On Autotrader prices vary from
  20. Most Galaxies are best done every 10 000 miles - oil and filter. 20 000 air filter, fuel filter, pollen filter. 40 000 - plugs, thorough brake pad and disc check.
  21. Try this webpage batterry chooser
  22. Very often people say that you should look for water on the floor, in the carpets, especially under the passenger seat. On some models the window and central locking control box is under there.
  23. Is it petrol or diesel? If diesel, check the oil level.
