  1. Are the plugs round, square or oblong? What colour are they? Can you post an image of the connectors on the CD player?
  2. I purchased my Galaxy 2.0 GLX Auto 7-seater in June 1998, when it was only two years old, with 27,000 on the clock. Unfortunately, this model didn't have air-con as standard! Lots of reasons for buying the petrol automatic (AG4-type transmission) as the diesel auto wasn't available: - Access -- the height of the Galaxy was just right for getting in & out as I recovered from lower back surgery; - The swivel seat was a great aid in times of extra pain; - Left leg sciatica meant the auto was ideal; - The only way to take all five kids to visit their grandparents. It hasn't all been a smooth ride, although at just under 82,000 genuine miles, the car still drives like almost new. Tales of Woe: - Auto gearbox had to be rebuilt at 37,000 miles; - Torque converter - New auto gearbox fitted at 55,000 miles; - New radiator at 55,000 miles; - Replacement glass sunroof at 55,000 miles; - Other niggly bits & pieces. - I totally gave up on trying to get the seat trim to stay in one place. With the kids all grown up and not wishing to accompany the parents, the Galaxy has to go. ------------------------ MOT until mid-September 2012, Road Tax expires May 2012 (SORN declaration thereafter). Needs brake pads all round. Although the Galaxy is a runner in good condition, and should have no problem getting through the next MOT it could be used as a donor-vehicle for the Type-AG4 auto gearbox, 2.0 engine (no timing belt to renew), well cared for interior and other bits & bobs. Also have a set of five (extra) alloy wheels: and four original steel wheels. In its place comes a 55-plate VW Phaeton 3.0TDi 4Motion that feels and drives like a lazy Bentley Continental.
  3. Does anyone know if the AG4 auto gearbox was used on the Mk2 Galaxy or was this only used on Mk1. Also appreciate it if anyone can provide a likely price for one that was supplied by Ford dealer and has now covered 25K miles. Thanks in advance.
  4. How did the garage in Forest Gate work out for you? I had to replace my auto box a while back and I paid (a garage near Haethrow) with Credit Card and two weeks later, no gearbox. Got my money back from the CC company and instead paid
  5. The 1996 2.0 Petrol Auto has a VAG Type-AG4 auto transmission (which is also used on the caravelle and other VAG cars/micro bus/vans).
  6. On my 2.0GLX Auto (AG4 transmission) there is a relay under the bonnet for the auto box -- I know that it affects the limp-home function to avoid damaging the gearbox. Galaxy Fuses002.pdf
  7. Certainly does. I take the other forum was US-centric? Or have we really become the 51st State of the good old USofA?

  9. Yes, but what good are speaker rings without grills? Even my replacement ones got kicked-in...

  13. I got rid of our TV set 12 years ago, and it made one hell of a difference to our family and social life (for the better). Got worried about that statement, so checked tvlicencing.co.uk: Do I need a TV Licence? You need a TV Licence to use any television receiving equipment such as a TV set, digital box, DVD or video recorder, PC, laptop or mobile phone to watch or record television programmes as they're being shown on TV. If you use a digital box with a hi-fi system or another device that can only be used to produce sounds and can't display TV programmes, and you don't install or use any other TV receiving equipment, you don't need a TV Licence. Phew, relief.
  14. Fuse 35 is "Permanent plus (trailer coupling) 20A Fuse 36 is "telephone" 10A When I've worked out how to upload attachments, I'll upload complete list with diagram of under-dash fusebox.
  15. You need to read this thread as well: http://www.fordgalaxy.org.uk/ford/index.ph...mp;#entry132829
