Further to the above, does anyone know how to pull the instrument panel forward and out, so as to gain access to the rear of the panel (inside dashboard bits) ?? There doesnt appear to be any screws..........

Having a 2001 model latest shape Galaxy I didn't think the Haynes 1995 to 2000 manual would be a very good buy. However I took the plunge and bought it with the hope that most things were still the same. Having done a few jobs on the galaxy it appears that almost all of the major components are identical. At only

Try changing your pollen filter, changed mine today and its made a big difference to the air quality in the car. The filter looked like it had never been changed, took a bit of fiddling but well worth it, and only cost me

There is a strange knocking type noise coming from under the drivers side dashboard, behind the instrument panel. If I push down on the top of the dash under the windscreen it stops. It appears that something might have come loose or something.....anyone experienced anything like this.....? It is not constant and when the dash heats up in the sun it stops........I have tried to get under to have a look, but I can't find any way of getting beneath the main part of the dash.....i.e. under the windscreen behind the instruments.........any ideas ????? <_<

Bought mine recently, the best gadget I have ever bought, :D it was

:lol: Now been to Ford and got them to try their master keys, they released all the old locking nuts and replaced them with new ones plus a new nut key.....garage who supplied the car paid for this as there was no key provided with car.......result...... :)

Checked with Ford dealership and they inform me that the locking nuts will all have to be replaced.......surely a replacment key can be obtained from somewhere?? :lol:

I have now had timing belt changed, thanks for advice. The garage did it that supplied the car, as it should have been done at the last major service, belt changed at 50,000 miles. 10k over due, no thanks to Fords Manual that came with the car thats says 60,000 miles for diesel Galaxy....... :lol:

Help.....I have lost the locking wheel nut that releases the locking nuts, any idea where I can get a replacement, or will I need to replace all the nuts ?? If so, how do I get them off to replace them..... :lol:

Another pic of the unit...........not as versatile as a PDA, but very easy to use.

Read this review if you are interested in getting one, its un-biased and very good. http://www.pocketgps.co.uk/tomtom-go.php

This system runs off a rechargeable battery that lasts upto 6 hours. It can be charged from the cigarette lighter if required. It plugs into your PC via USB to upgrade the maps, also it can be used as a portable device undercutting anything else on the market e.g. Carmin devices by over

Just purchased a 'TomTom Go' Sat Nav system, its an all in one unit that fits via a windscreen arm. Switch it on wait 30 seconds for satelites to attach and then your off. Talks you through to your chosen destination which is inputed by a touch screen keyboard using either towns / street names / postcodes or even house numbers !! It gives you a very ultra clear 3D map.

I was checking out the owners handbook on the Galaxy cambelt change, and it appears below on the photo of the handbook that the TDi cambelt change on the yr 2000 onwards models is at 60,000 miles or 5 years.....

Thanks, mines done 48k, how do I know if the cam belt change has been done prior to me buying the car ?? Is there any way of telling other than the service book, as it is not documented in it.

Just done another search and found that this has already been mentioned at the link below. http://www.fordgalaxy.org.uk/Forum/index.php?showtopic=452

Does anyone know how this sat nav unit pictured may connect into the Ford Galaxy 01 model. Is all the wiring already behind the existing radio ?? Has anyone had any experiences with fitting this type of sat nav system ?? Its on ebay at the moment......

The steering wheel, although it looks nice with the silver bits, creaks when manoevering, has anyone discovered a way of getting into it, i.e. the circular section and somehow oiling it or something ?? Its the 2001 models onwards that have this type of wheel.

'Sorry I meant 115tdi..!' Does anyone know when the cam belt is supposed to be changed on the 115 tdi 2001 model Galaxy?? Tried the 'search' but can't find any details on this model. If so where is cheapest to do it ?? Thanks...

I have a 2001 model Galaxy Ghia, does anyone, or has anyone installed a Sat Nav option. If so, was it in the radio space or was it an after market option. I believe there is a Sat Nav unit that fits into the Galaxy radio hole, is this just a matter of pulling radio out and putting Sat Nav system in ???? If you have the Sat Nav system installed is it any good, and does it talk you through the journey. Thanks.

I recommend you get the diesel anyway !
