  1. This guy's got a few, but a bit expensive for a second hand radio............... here
  2. This may be of interest Galaxy lock repair
  3. Had the same problem with mine. I removed all the trim from around the windscreen and the bond had gone between the adhesive and the metal at the top corner. Cleaned everything up and put some sealer all around the edge where the windsreen adhesive meets the metal. Fingers crossed it's been ok since. Finding it almost drove me mad - I was looking for the more common problems of the pollen filter and/or scuttle trim clips I've just re-read Steve.S's post and it sounds like he didn't remove the rubber trim along the top of the screen. It just pulls out exposing the the edge of the windscreen (well it does on my mk1) The rubber doesn't do any sealing, the glass is bonded straight to the metal.
  4. Turk90210 I know discs aren't supposed to look like that, but what are we actually looking at and how did it happen?
  5. Whilst there's no doubt he deserved the win, according to the papers he's been on TV before and won
  6. My wife's just phoned me at work to say the speedo's stopped working on her 2.3 Si I take it it's electronic and not cable driven? Anyone got any initial thoughts?
  7. Shouldn't see why not, but I'm not certain. The listing also says it's suitable for Sharan 95 on. Unless somebody else replies with a definitive answer, maybe the best thing to do is ask the seller a question
  8. I'm having similar problems. I too had a small lake in the footwell, scuttle drains were clear, so I removed the scuttle trim at the base of the windscreen. The sealant had gone at the base of the clips. Thinking that was it, I replaced the clips with plenty of sealant. Next downpour - soaking footwell again! ;) Spent most of Sunday removing various bits of interior trim, getting my wife to spray the windscreen with a hose and me performing contortions to see where it was coming from to no avail. I was getting to the stage of removing the dash, however after tea it started to rain quite heavily, so I had one last go. Removed all the trim from around the passenger quarterlight and there it was! A steady drip from the windscreen bonding right in the bottom corner. I've still to get a chance to go round to Autoglass to see what my options are. My central locking and electric windows are both playing up. I have the later model where the module is at the driver's side so it's not water ingress.C/L activates with the remote but the driver's door sometimes doesn't lock/unlock. Individual doors lock/unlock manually but don't activate the C/L. Both front windows aren't working. Been too busy trying to fix the leak to investigate much but I had a quick look at the loom where it goes through the doors and it seems ok

    Where do the other 5 seats go?? :lol:
  10. This is what you're looking for If I recall correctly it should be in the blade portion of the key
  11. Well done - good to hear it went ok :)
  12. I just removed some of the insulation on the existing wires, spliced on the new ones and put on a drop of solder to secure them (though I guess that isn't strictly necessary) and wrapped them in insulation tape. There's always scotchlocks, of course, if you have some
  13. I can't remember how I did mine, but I don't think you need to remove the fusebox. Black goes to earth Red, yellow, and yellow/black all go to live (I linked all three into one wire and tapped that into the main live as shown in Mussey1's picture) White goes to close trigger (grey wire on the connector circled in red in Mussey1's picture) White/black goes to open trigger (green/red wire on the connector circled in red in Mussey1's picture) I didn't connect the indicator wires and my indicators still flash on locking and unlocking You're right to be cautious but it's easy enough when you get going :lol:
  14. I'll swap you bills! My wife's Galaxy just went through the MOT. 4 new tyres, front discs and pads, 1 brake pipe and a wiper, add to that the MOT fee and the garage labour and that's nearly
  15. 7up If you've nothing under the passenger seat it would appear that the connections you need are at the driver's side fuse box - connection details are here
