  1. Sorry Forgot to say its a Mklll 2013 model Titanium
  2. Hi I have got a stone stuck in the rear nearside seat "runner", which means the seat is jammed and wont slide forwards. I guess the best thing to do is remove the seat and fish out the stone Can someone give me a guide as to how to remove the seat, and if hex bolts need to be undone, what size are these? Thanks
  3. Had a test drive in the new facelift 2015 model 150bhp Diesel Found the ride a bit "bouncier" than my current 163bhp diesel.. Some nice touches on the interior and the dashboard generally feels good Dont particularly like that all controls are now through the touchscreen panel on the dashboard, rather than being able to twiddle a knob or two (heater control on mine) Might go and get another test drive, or try to get one for a couple of days to test. Overall a new modernised look, with the same flexibility as the Gal has always had 8 /10
  4. Over the last couple of months, both the rear doors on my 2013 Titanium Gal, seem to have developed a problem. The problem is that when you open them, it feels like they are catching against something, or the hinge has dropped slightly, as you get a sort of "clunk" noise, and the door doesn't open smoothly but with a slight jolt Difficult to describe really, but just wondered if anyone else has had this problem??
  5. Hi Ron The loan of the Kuga unfortunately didn't happen for various reasons, but i still hope to get one to try in the next few weeks I did let the guy drive my Gal, and he also experienced the slight "lag" on acceleration, but said he felt that all the Ford "euro 5" engines suffered this He checked for any software updates for mine, but said that it was at the current software version. So, it is a "feature" at present, TBC
  6. I have a front and rear set that i bought about 3 months ago, but havn't got round to doing them yet. The instructions are with both sets.
  7. Hi Scorpio I don't really experience any other problems apart from the "lag" that i have described. Not had any problems re "power surge" and havn't actually stalled the car since the first week i had it.. The Dealer principal of the Ford dealership i use is a personal friend, and next week he is loaning me a Kuga for a couple of days, and he is having my Galaxy Interesting to see if he experiences the "lag" problem, and what he suggests I will keep you in touch Cheers Dave
  8. Over the last few weeks, i have noticed that when i am accelerating (3rd and 4th gears usually) there is a brief "lag" as the speed is building. It lasts probably less than a second, and then the power feeds equally, but it is a strange feeling (however it doesn't happen every time) The car has now done 12,500 miles and is due for its first service (163ps TDI, Titanium, Manual) The car was first registered Aug 2013, so just interested to know if there has been a software update since this time, that may help, or fix the issue. Or, is this another Galaxy "feature" that is well known about?? Cheers
  9. Hi Think you are a bit confused. If you press the "lock" button on the key fob ONCE, the doors will lock, but the indicators will not flash. If you press the "lock" button TWICE within 3 seconds of each other, this "double locks" all doors and the boot, and the indicators DO flash The indicators will always flas when you open the car. Page 38 of the manual, if you have one Cheers

  13. Hi Chris I don't know. I bought this Gal last October and it was 3 months old. I had to tax it from the time i bought it as the previous owner (lease company) had "un licenced" it. I taxed it for 6 months and it cost me
