When I had my previous Galaxy the arm rest was on the verge of hanging of and when it was in for its service I asked them to do it. Got charged a tenner....glad I never tried to do it myself now!! :angry:

Sorry to be boring but going back to the original topic I have got a Black Alhambra and black interior. Looks great and hides the dirt left from the kids eating too many sweets and crisps!! If you give me your e-mail address i'll send you some pics!

Bloody Hell fredt good memory!! I'd forgotten about that. It could be something similar but touch wood its not happened again! (probably not now i've said it) :D :D I'll have to visit my local garage next week if it happens again!! :D :( :(

Sorry fredt, no it wont start. I'll take ur suggestions to the garage and see what they say....typical its not hapenned since I put the post on!!! :D

It was 8 degrees this morning, the heater never kicked in untill 2 miles down the road I increased the tempertaure on the CC to 22 degrees from 21....then the old devil kicked in, in all her glory!! Bless :blink: :)

HELP!! Beofre I moan to the local Garage and possibly get ripped up i'm after ideas!!! Occassionaly the old bus has failed to start firt time and just "ticks over" I then try agaon and the car starts no problems. I have waited for the glow plug light to go out and the amp meter is hovering around 14 as it always has done. I'm creeping up to 76,000 miles Any ideas would help so I can suggest them to the garage. B) :) :) Bloody kids have pinched my 'S' badge of the tailgate B) B) :lol:

It sounds like you've been told the correct info!! I previously has a 2.0 ltr Galaxy which had done 115,000 miles, mine ran for 10,000 of them with the tappet noise put during the last 3,000 it got worse and was diagnosed as the cam shaft guides?? I decided to bite the bullet and part ex'd the car for my alhambra, got a great deal the garage never even looked at it and gave me

I hope for your sake now thats its not you Air Con that blows up Fredt!! I was only thinking at the beginning of the week how many posts will there be about the booster heater. Funnily enough there are quite a few!! :P :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Yeah but at that age no matter how much you try they dont understand how to change a bulb!!! :lol:

I've had a go at doing this and i only had my dashboard lights and rear number plate lights on!! Very strange!!! :lol:

I've just replaced the headlight bulbs....what a bloody nightmare, unless you've got hands the size of a 5 year old!!! In the manual it advises you to get these changed by a dealer!! I wonder why!!! :lol:

I dont get time for hobbies funnily enough!!! Telly's boring anyway!! The soaps are too depressing!! everyone dying or getting a divorce!!! Will have to get the wife to do more housework so it keeps her busy!!! :D

Fredt you'll be glad to know number 8 is now on its way!!! :P B) :o :o The Waltons spring to mind!!! :P :P

I've stalled my Alhambra quite a few times, without a judder!!!! Luckily i've not had a near crash experience!! I did in an old Renault Clio I had once and smashed all the suspension and wheel hitting the corner of a kurb!!! I was under the impression there were un-stallable but abviously not!!!

I noticed a while ago that if I put my "manual" Alhambra into gear and takle the foor of the clutch slowly the car will role at a set speed without the need for me to touch the peddles. 1st gear 5mph 2nd gear 10 mph 3rd gear 15mph Am i likely to cause any damage doing this, or is it a sign of something that might go wrong??? Cheers :(

Thanks for all ur comments, just had a quote from Auto Tint in Halesowen, West Mids.

The cheepest I got mine was

I was wondering if anyone has had any experience in tinting the front windows to match the rear windows. If so whats the costs and any recomendations for companies in the Birmingham area whom can do it?? Cheers

I done a run from Birmingham down to chelmsford yesterday and back round trip of 300 miles me the missus, a 14, 10, 6, 4, 2 & 1 year old (yes i squeezed one more in) got 52 mpg doing 60-70 with Air Con on i was well impressed beats the 34mpg i get round town!! :D

Right this might seem a daft question but i'm new to diesel's so i'm not sure Whilst running the engine once its warmed up i can smell a funny smell comming from the engine area...is that right or could there be somethimg wrong...its hard to describe the smell. :lol: Any suggestions would be appreciated. :lol:

I'm getting an average of 34mpg out of my tank at the moment with an average speed of 19mph....dont you just love traffic!!!

I've just brought a x reg Seat after owning an r reg Galaxy. I would agree with everyone else that the Seat has god a good spek, better than the Ghia and Carat on the othetr makes. Personnaly i like the looks of the facelift Galaxy and the Alhambra but am not too keen on the Sharan. You mentioned the Espace on your firt post....i'd stay away!! there expensive motors to maintain (as with all french cars). :( Good luck and happy motoring!!

oh yes but when its just lonely old me in the car going to and from work its peacefull.....I love it!! :lol:

I can hear it in mine inside the car!! When should it kick in go off etc???

I've been told by Seat that it should be every 40k miles for 2001 + models
