Aha, thanks, looks good, just been to look at one, it had Ford sat nav, full leather, Ford DVD multimedia, Ghia spec, 42k miles, 130bhp 1.9 tdi, chrome roof rails, 2004 53 plate, costs

Anyone know what type of colour Oyster Silver is ??

Yep, just read the Parkers guide review, they don't get a very good right up, probably more the case of passenger comfort than drivers enjoyment. Just found a 2007 Galaxy mkIII Zetec with 18k miles for

Yes, they are quite different, not sure what to get to be honest, my max budget is

Yep, thats one of the things thats putting me off, however I am going to go take a look. Just seen this one too, mkIII and fairly cheap for the year, massive saving on new, but it is petrol. http://www.thecarpeople.co.uk/kcom/ucl/res...;dataptr=000653

Hi Maz, wow you've racked up the posts since I last visited !! Yes please, can you enquire and PM me, thanks.

Hi all, I'm back and looking for a Galaxy for my wife, I have found this one and was wondering what anyone thought of it, the price seems ok, and the spec is Ghia, lowish mileage.............? :wacko: Not been to look at it yet, but before I do, does it seem reasonably priced at

Hi, I was the one who had my Galaxy chipped, I believe this could have been the cause of the overheating problem, however, since having sold my troublesome Galaxy I have found out that a lot of people have had exactly the same type of problems, especially when towing or travelling at speed. I tried absolutely everything, I removed the remap of the ECU, and put it back to standard, I replaced the thermostat, radiator, water pump, checked all hoses, replaced exspansion cap, radiator, the list seems endless, no sniffer picked up on any gases in system, so eventually I had to unfortunately cut my losses and sell it. I just can't do with anything thats unreliable, I have several kids and the last thing I need is a break down, so it had to go, I wonder if anyone who bought it actually got to the route of the problem......anyone on here bought a Galaxy starting with reg Y58........???

Yes some of the Discoverys have 7 seats.

Land Rover Discovery tdci, http://www.cuddles.abelgratis.net/landrover.htm, check out the spec date on link.

Typical British holiday weather ! Looks chilly......you'd left your rear offside door ajar ! I miss my caravan, sometimes.....

The carvan has gone now, we tried it as a family for one season, and decided it wasn't for us, a costly exercise to say the least, but we might well have another bash in the future, hence the purchase of a non-towing ST220. It does have the twin stainless steel exhausts and lots of other standard ST extras, including the glorious heated seats, good for an aching back and cold mornings. I tend to find myself tootling around the place knowing that I can go really fast if I want, a strange feeling really, without actually doing it........love it to bits.......but I liked the Gal a lot.

I do like the 2.2 diesel ST and I've test driven one, but the ST220 is far superior and quicker through the mid ranges and acceleration, I've had mine properly timed to 60mph in 6.7secs, the refinement through the rev range is staggering, and the engine noise from the V6 is soooo sweet ! I would always buy the petrol variant over the diesel, however I do admit that the diesels are catching up, my annual mileage is very low, so the petrol is almost as economical for me anyway. Have you checked out the ST site too ?

Yep, maybe, the gas guzzlers are been hit hard. However I get enough enjoyment out of it to pay the premium, as will most other people who choose to buy these type of cars, so I'm not too sure what the government are hoping to achieve. Its hardly a deciding factor when it comes to spending thousands on a car, and thousands on fuel. So maybe my next car will be my dream machine, a BMW M5 touring ! :lol:

Not been on here for a while, as the Galaxy was traded due to a few major faults, it became too costly and unreliable. Its great to see the sites doing well, and I am thoroughly enjoying my ST220 now. Although there are times when the whole family is out that I miss the cavernous space that the Galaxy had, especially on those family picnics with the swivel front seats. I may well be back in the market for one after I've thrashed around the UK in this motor, as its a tad expensive to run ! But with the low mileage that I do its not too bad, 300 miles to a tank of fuel, not bad for a car that does 0-60 in 6.8 secs, 152mph, 3 litre V6, 223bhp, anyway see you all around the place.

Hi all, I've been quiet on here for a while, as I've traded my Gal, but I still keep popping back in to see whats happening, just a reminder though that if anyone likes gorgeous products for Valentines Day or Mothers Day take a look at our web site: Shop Link Take care.

It makes no wonder you have had migraines with all those computer consoles ! Hope you don't get another one. :lol:

Another tip for the wii scart connection, usually there is 1 scart socket at the back of your TV that is RGB enabled, this provides a lot sharper and clearer picture, as the signal is more superior, unless of course you have Sky TV or DVD plugged into that socket. Enjoy the bowling ! and happy Boxing Day.

Right then kids in bed, time for a mammoth tidy up, another Christmas gone in a flash, semi drunk and very full of a weeks worth of food, arrhhhh the joys of over indulgence ! Hope you all had a good one, role on boxing day.

I feel sick !

Kids up at 0630, totally manic for about an hour, now eating chocolate for breakfast and filling bin liners with paper and boxes, MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Join the club, food shopping today for tomorrows picnic.Kids wanted a picnic, so they will get one. Are you actually going to eat the picnic outside ? Scarfs, jumpers and gloves on the shopping list too !

Right then, lets get started with this Christmas shopping, nothing like leaving it to the last minute !

A very merry Christmas to all at the forum, I hope you have a really great one. Whats santa bringing you all this Christmas, for me Santa is on a very tight budget, so I think it'll just be the novelty socks etc ! :lol:

Are you sure it wasn't the old problem, with the aux heater again ? These can smoke heavily, but Ford will insist that this is normal. The aux heater is only on the diesel models though, but does sit underneath the middle left (nearside) of the Galaxy etc. Alternatively if its recently had an oil change, or oil added, then it could be spilt oil on the engine/sump burning off.
