as sparky paul says....vcds will work with the auto box .....suggest you have a wiring issue.....try removing the battery tray and giving the wires a wiggle...then unclip all joints and check for corrosion.....

500 quid is a very good price for a fitted clutch.......i did my mates 2 years ago ....allow a good weekend...beware,the gearbox is a tricky fit ....and its really heavy

i take it the car has not been damaged by vandals ? how i would do this sounds very harsh..but its how its done.....wind the window all the way down grab the very top of the door frame put your knee against the top of the door card area and give a good tug several attempts of this may be necessary make sure window is down or it will shatter regards traff

hi, i removed mine just like this to inprove my rear vision, try looking behind the stowage pannels in the boot for it......thats where mine is stowed

thanks for the reply chaps........i recon there could be up to a litre of oil gone down the pipe......ive taken the front pipe off ....to perg with a blow torch.........sure is a lot of smoke......

hi all ...a big problem after a blown turbo ........oil seals gave out on turbo after catastrofic failier......result ....oil down the exhaust.....my question is ..has anybody here overcome this problem?could i flush it out with petrol or thinners?....i dont know whats in the front box ...it cant be a catalist..no sensors or wires.....this car ...auy engine runs well with new turbo....all inductoin pipes cleaned...even took intercooler off to clean it......grey smoke under power...nothing on tickover....any ideas...i cant be the only one who has had this happen?

yes i can .....got some galaxy spesific , water proof hard wearing set off e bay.....grey in colour with cut outs for the seat belt ..... my yongest boy 15 years plays rugby,and they done me proud

hi guys ,just thought id tell you about a problem ive encountered,....wilst working on my mates galaxy... auy engine i snapped the oil feed pipe to the turbo.....i did try all the tricks mentioned in the forum ,ground down spanner etc....the olive was jammed in the adapter....i did my own car 4 years ago so as routene asked ford for a replacement........shock horror......how much .....just for a pipe....????.. in the end i took the broken pipe to my local hydrallics repair shop...m f hydrallics.oxford ....and came away with a new pipe for £20...thats £40 cheaper than fords.....it pays to shop around...pertec is another company worth a look in....they do the same sort of thing.........oh by the way ...this new pipe is as good or better than original spec

hi there ..i have a tow bar fitted to mine...fitted it myself....just cover the inner sensors wiith several layers of insulation tape.....it really works......the outer sensors still give plenty of coverage......so sucessfull was this fix ....i also did my mates car.......it really works regards traff

id have thought so ....just remember the air bag...diconnect the battery first .....i have the same problem ...my plan is to use the base from one of the rear seats .

thanks for the reply chaps.....i went to vw today and ordered a pair of limit stops....thats what they call them....for 11 quid....good ideas given....but i think im gona go with the grinder method as i need to keep the strut.......small note to anybody who uses a blow torch.....beware of the bonnet pull cable.....its hidden and it will melt.......thanks all ..regards ..traff

i know that most of us who have tried to remove the top nut from the front turret have failed,well its my turn today.......no amount of wd40 or heat has any effect.....the only way i can think is to cut off the top cups, and dealing with the nut on the floor.....many of you have done so....my question is...where do i get new top cups from ....are they a dealer only part , or local motor factor ? many thanks traff

the best stuff i found is k seal.....it worked for me

go to the fordetis web site and put the reg number in ..that will sort you

some years ago ...i customised a badge on my old granada......remove old badge using a loop of mig welding wire...then sand the back of badge with fine paper...next spray paint with the colour of your choice....i know it sounds daft..but mine came out a treat...what have you got to lose

yes i got one off e-bay.....my advice is ....dont waste your money on this .....+35 is a brand name only....fitted mine for 1 hour and took it off again....it works by messing with the fuel temp sensor...it will give you 1-2 hp in reality...if you still want one you can have mine
