Fitted the pump back in this afternoon and hooked up the temporary hose through the passenger window and under the pedals to the T-joint and off i went, hit the dual carriage way not far from my house and just as i hit 40 i switched the arm to ON for the cruise control and before i could look down i heard a beep then noticed a light come on! result i thought for a nano second before looking down to see the wash wiper refill had ran low and needed topping up! Oh how cruel a coinsidence that was. Tried it again but nothing not even the slightest noise form the dash so i think my next move will be a new/second hand pump! When i connected the temporary hose up under the brake pedal i did notice that the other two pipes coming off looked in good good condition so i dont think i have any problems down there. The challenge continues !

Really ok mike i'll sling it back in tomorrow and hook up the hose, I found the pipe behind the pedals but couldn't see a joint to connect my temporary hose too but i'm guessing if i look hard enough there will be one behing there.

Went to B&Q today and got 4m of hose/pipe for

Cheers mike i'll give that a go this weekend if not before !

eBay i got one last week for

Just read the manual and this is normal for the light to be on until you press your pedal down !

Thanks for your post Alhambra. All the brake lights are working fine yes but when i turn the ignition on a yellow warning light does come on-on the dash board i believe its a picture of a light with an exclamation mark in it and this goes off when you press the brake pedal could this be an indicator that the brake switch is faulty or is this something that comes up n all galaxy's? To the handbook !!!

Just had a look at the pipe fixed to the cruise control pump and it was as everyone else's seem to be on here perished so i chopped both ends off and re-attached it which i managed to do via an inspection hatch in the wheel arch trim !. Took the car and out and still nothing so it looks like i might have to take the pump out and have a look at that. Just one question if any one can give me an answer my headlight/indicator is one full unit so i if i take this out will i have to have the headlight re-aligned if so i think i will take out the wheel arch trim which at a glance i would think would give better access !. Here is a picture of the perished hose i took with my phone. http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff129/simonashley1/24062008190.jpg

:D :) Quality review

Took the Galaxy to Kwik-Fit today(seems a popularplace on here so gave it a whirl) and they said the system was totally empty of gas and off his range on the meter/display, The cabin temperature was 42 deg, so he tested it and then regassed it and after being intermitten for a couple of minutes the air-con settled down and when i left the cabin temperature was down to 6 deg so hopefully that was the air-con problem fixed( time will tell). :) Next job is the cruise control when i get a couple of hours spare.

Wow this place is a fountain of knowledge ! Looks like the front indicator will be coming out first this afternoon and will check the hose and pump in the front n/s wing kerb side, left side- side :blink: :D Thanks for the reply Alhambra i will follow your advice up aswell.

I'm just about to start trawling through the topics on here regarding my problems but thought i would open another thread incase any one was happenning to be reading and could offer me some advice. :blink: Air con- all the lights flash on the lcd display when ignition is turned on, only problem with it is it isn't blowing cold air. Cruise control doesnt work. galaxy 2.3 petrol 2001 And off i go trawling :D

Why dont we just shoot the birds that would get rid of them, if we were invading the birds habitat i'm pretty sure they'd take EXTREME action against us.
