very neat install it makes me want to sort my sub and amp out of the loft

Hi, My wiper linkage is slowing down a lot now, need to replace it or do the strip out & refurb. Considering the most complex job I've done before now is changing a wheel or fitting new bulbs, how hard of a job is it to do? Thought about buying replacement but local Fords want

does any one else have problems with the centr caps on the alloy wheels spinning and rattling while they are driving if so how have you sorted it ???? please help because its getting annoying

my 2000 19 tdi had a knock on the front passenger side and i was told it was the strut top bush gone but had some work done on it at the garage and it turned out it was the strut link bars gone not sure if thats whats wrong with yours

touch wood mine is great as a tow car (its a 2000 zetec tdi 110 ) and its solid and in the 12 months iv owned it hasnt given me any trouble

this is going to sound really stupid but in my galaxy it has manual rear windows is it a hard job to put electric rear windows in it ie is the wiring harness in place or would i need to splice in to the loom ?????

id love to be able to offer some advice but my parking sencors have never work for as long as iv owned mine

Funny that, I own a 2001 (51) Galaxy Zetec 2.3 petrol, and lent it to a friend to drive to the coast this week with her kids and all their kit. They had to be towed 100 miles in the pouring rain back home as the wipers had seized on them (How bad do I feel!). This hadn't happened to me before they went. I've got it booked in at the local garage for Monday, and the bloke said to me "they make them from monkey metal, it'll be the mechanics jamming, or the motor given up" Niether, he warned me, were going to be cheap to fix, and when I told him how old the car was, he said "yeh, that's about right" took me a few hours to srtip it out about an hour to free the drivers side 10 minutes to do the other then its just a case of piecing it all back together and when you have done it your self you get the smug feeling that you have saved a couple of hundred quid in all it cost me less than a fiver for all the bits i needed and did it in under a day in the pouring rain stuff taking it to a garage to get it done crack open the socket set and give it a go your self you dont know till you try and if it does go wrong you can still take it to the garage to get it sorted theres plenty of advice on the subject on this forum

thanks for that is there any chance you would measure from the top of the screen to the top of each wiper please that way i can set them properly if you could that would be great thanks

would any one be able to measure the distance from the top of the screen to the top of each wiper as im struggling to get them to return to the parking position and the sweep arc doesnt seem as wide as it was before thanks all

just put my linkage back together and now the wipers are try to sweep down wards towards the bonnet is it possible thaty one of you kind hearted people on here would be able to take a pic of the linkage on the drivers side so i can try and sort mine out as im resorting to putting the wipers in an upright position so they sweep down and claer the screen that way thanks to all that have replied and helped

no problems with my air con its fitted but iv never used it

well i've got it all stripped out which only took me about an hour and a half which i thought was quite good (it was raining at the time) and the linkage is now sat on the kitchen floor soaking in wd40 it was the drivers side that has siezed so now the fun part begins

[ cheers ill try that in the morning is it a hard job to do or not ???? how much work is it to strip it all out ?

hi i brought my 2000 (x) galaxy zetec 19 TDI a little over a year ago and so far have had no problems with it the problem is a few days ago the front wipers started sticking while they were returning to the parking setting and now they wont work at all at times they look like they are going to work but after moving no more than a few millimeters they stop any ideas what this could be? i dont think it is the switch/ stalk as the rear wiper still works as does the front washer jets
