Have you had a look at your intercooler for holes or damage? If you look through your lower grille under the number plate you should be able to see it with a torch, just check for damage.

Could you take a picture of the area where the spring clip is please?

Wondering if anyone has repaired a drivers seat armrest. It goes up and down but will not lock into its positions on the upwards travel. Its a bit useless without it as it slopes downward in my driving position and is about as much use as a chocolate fire guard.

what can of noise or knocking is it doing? I had to get an intercooler from a main dealer as not avaliable yet so the same could be said of the rear trail arms. They do normally come as an complete unit

I have a knocking coming from the passenger side going over small bumps etc, i have checked all components of the suspension and everything is fine droplinks tierod ends strut spring etc.. Its really annoying noise is anyone aware of any brackets , heatshields, pipework which could make this happen on the passenger side.bolt or maybe an exhaust clip or brackets any thoughts would be helpful?

Angelippo check this link it explains the process very simple to do. Sat nav

Most of the cars will share the same parts to cut down on costs. Sat Nav Have a look at this thread as it shows how to remove the trim, if i remember correctly this unit was held in by screws and had some connectors on the rear. There should be no reason why you should need a complete system as the control unit is just an electrically system to control the actual HVAC unit, which would be hidden between the bulkhead and the engine bay somewhere. Hopes this helps and i would say no harm in looking and seeing. The only issue could be a software update ie if the unit was from a 2011 car backfitted to a 2007 car as there was a big change in the systems.

Looks like i was correct in my thinking then that the codes are just a implausible signal at some stage. I think this as i dont have any warning lights on at all so must have been a gremlin. Thanks for your help.

I did a little help to understand the DTC codes which were visible on the cluster light check. They are : 42268 41568 41668 I am hoping they are just error codes by the ECU's when they have had an issue ie the ecu says "Something happened i am not sure what but i will store this code anyway so that you are aware etc"

To answer your question regarding ebay look at this thread Sat nav

Will this work as we are talking about a Mk3 galaxy and it doesnt share its body shape or parts with the sharan or alhambra?

The unit is great except the radio reception is poor, the units gps receiver is just down the centre a little on a a metal sub frame.

Once you find out let me know. Its one of the faults with having a chinese import.

I have been told by my local ford garage that the cambelt needs changing at 120,000 miles i would air on the side of caution and change at 90,000 miles.

Have no model or make but Square Unit OR Square Unit 2

No the dash display does not work, maybe you need either one of these units : Zenec ze nc3810 OR Zenec ze nc3810 OR Pioneer Avic-F9220BT

Its the alarm activation flashing as there are no flashing lights on the door pad. Did the information come up low battery when you were playing music etc without the engine running? This is a precaution to let you know you are draining the battery, all i do is switch on the engine and leave it running never had any problems with the battery.

As long as the model you get from the focus is the same shape as the Galaxys then yes. There are 2 types for the Galaxy a square one in 2006 and some 2007 models since then changed to the round type. Headunit is it this one it will fit a new er version of the galaxy ie 2008 onwards and some 2007 if fitted with the same shaped head unit, if it is the square unit ie Old headunit. this will fit 2006 onwards with square unit.

Just had a look at it and it will fit fine. Newer than the one i fitted so hopefully radio reception has improved. Has canbus connection so the steering wheel controls will work fine. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...#ht_4252wt_1026 i have written a post on how to remove the trim and straight forward to change. How you enjoy.

Any help as the noise is irritating!!

Then it wont be a straight swap and im unsure what would be needed to do it.

Ford unit If yours looks like this then yes

What year galaxy?

replaces normal 6000 curved ford unit or curved sony unit but there are also ones knocking about for the older square units with the key holes in each corner.

I took m car to the local garage as i have a very bad vibration in the 5th gear as i coast down from 55 to 40. When i place my hand on the gear stick it stops but you feel it through the stick, when you dont have your hand on the stick it makes a right racket. Now the dealer told me to change down a gear after there test drive but i am unsure as i have had loads of cars that drive at 40 in fifth. has anyone else had this problem? 57 reg 2.0 tdci zetec its done 56660 miles still just in warranty. Also get alot of black smoke when you accelerate quickly any help?
