  1. Hi, been speaking with a friend who has CC and he has explained it too me.. once the speed is set your foot can be removed and you can gradually increase / decrease speed using the +/- button if needed. Sounds good to me
  2. Great thanks for this.. last few silly questions do I take my foot of the accelerator once CC is set to speed i.e. 30 mph? Also if I press on hold the button to speed up and slow down, does it accelerate or stop pretty fast as it would if I was to use the brake or accelerator pedal or would you recommend increasing speed using the accelerator pedal then pressing set again the same with braking?
  3. Hi All, I'm looking at purchasing a Gal but it doesn't have a handbook and I have never driven one before and on the text drive I'd like to test the CC to make sure all is well. Can anyone give me an idiot proof guide to how to use it etc. The Gal is an x reg Ghia if they have different systems? Thanks Dave
  4. the new tax applies to cars registered after March 31st 2001 (I think)
  5. Thank you.. just hope no-one beats me to her.. can't go back till weekend due to my uncles commitments.. fingers crossed. I'll be in touch either way 1st thing Monday AM..
  6. morning yes thats the one, what do you think?
  7. If I'm honest I'm not sure if Mk1 or Mk11.. It's on the autotrader search for galaxy 1.9 TD Ghia between 3/4k
  8. Hi, It's on a well known car trading website.. not sure if I can say (advertising rules?) I am hoping that my uncle will be able to tell what work has been done or needs doing. The garage I use mark dates/mileage on casing which is helpful. But if he can't I will get them done to be safe if I purchase the Gal. I never took it for a text drive as it was my lunch hour ( turned in 2 hours) due to travelling time by the time I got there it was already near time to head back.. I called work and asked for a bit extra time which was just enough to check it over inside and out.
  9. Hello, Just got back from looking at it.. 1st impressions it looks good, I can tell it's been looked after both inside and out very clean.. all basic checked done and I'm pleased to say it passed them all, no signs of water, uneven tyre damage, all electrics worked etc. The 2 most important things haven't been checked yet.. how it drives and the engine! I have asked my uncle to come along at weekend and look at it for me he's a mechanic and worked on many cars/lorries so he will give it a check over.. It is missing the owners hand book so the service history can't be confirmed but hopefully if it's all working that
  10. Thanks guys.. I'm going looking at a 2000 x reg 1.9 TD Ghia (115PS) tomorrow lunch.. looks good on the web page just hope it looks as good in the flesh.. getting excited I'll keep you posted.
  11. Thank you mumof4.. I have read ther what to look out for thread.. Very helpfull. so you think i'd be making a good choice and to look out for a ghia.. is there anything to stay away from?
  12. Hello, sorry to jump in on your thread, for some reason I'm not allowed to start my own. I'm a new member and I'm looking and I'm looking to buy a Galaxy in the not to distant future.. can I please have some advise. I don't have a big budget but I'm not looking for anything newer then 2001 because of the new road tax costs.. I'll have around
