  1. ive had my galaxy since 2003 ...this is a very common problem ....was advised by my tyre fitter to increase presure .....i now run on 44 psi as opposed to 38 psi recomended......this has solved my tyre wear problems......my tyres now last 2/3 years hope that helps
  2. its the temp sender unit.........always causes this very common fault......a complete arse to locate ......
  3. you cannot remove one sensor and expect the car not to notice ......the system go,s loopy and gives a constant whine ....the last one ive got from ebay costs just 10 quid each........its probable to be a rear sensor at fault ,as road crap gets all over the back of them .try a good clean in this area
  4. the last one that i fixed had splits in about 3 or 4 places.....not surprised its leaking
  5. you wont need to buy fords own pipe......go to your local motor factors and buy brake vacume pipe.....make it yourself change from 20 quid
  6. classic temp sensor fault ...replace ...problem gone
  7. the syptons you have would point to to vacum pipe from the pump.... .it does crack over time giving progresive less braking power ..would recomend removall and replacment..you can buy the type of pipe from the local motor factor and make it up yourself ..its an easy fix
  8. hi there ....try packing the cv joints with grease...normally the outer ones are the culprits here....you wont feel any play..had this on one of mine ..easy fix
  9. having my mk2 galaxy for 13 years now ........im quite sure the prolem is turbo vanes.........im in oxford.....and could scan your car for you...................vcds and snapon
  10. it sounds like the turbo vanes are stuck........you will get a code with a vcds scanner........charge pressure positive deviation..........a very common fault
  11. stop........what was i thinking ? the inner boots have an odd shape .......you will have to fit the real type of boot ...unless you have aftermarket shafts fitted
  12. hi chaps .....couldnt help speaking up ......ive tryed these stick together type boots .....and they do work .....for about a week.....probably made for teenagers ,as it looks easyer to fit than taking the shaft off takes about the same time to fit the standard boot.....i for one do not recomend these ......you wll have to do it again a week later
  13. sounds like the top rubber mount to me ...there is nothing really wrong with it ....just sounds awfull.....try...jacking up ...allow suspention to hang....then spray the top mounting rubber ....at the top of the spring with silicone spray.....works for me...
  14. hi its me again ......just been browsing the site ...ref the radio code..and it seems the subject is not one to be put on the open forum ....please remove it.....i dont want to get in to trouble.......but any pointers as to how to get the program again ...thanks traff
  15. please can somebody look up my radio code.....did have the prgram on an old computer ......serial no is.....m029538......many thanks in advance.....ps could you also give me a link so i can download this program again.....regards traff
