Are you sure it is a 1999, this would either be a T or V reg, Y was 2001, or was your post a typo

If not door wiring

Torq,

I have the same problem, apparently it is to do with wires breaking in the conduit between the car and the door, hence the intermitent operation, just waiting for warmer weather.

The fix is to strip the rubber boot back and solder the wires together, I have this to do and a no operational window, but I dont think that is electrical

Hi Kev,

Removed false bulkhead yesterday was a bit tight in and out on drivers side, may have been easier to remove the upper scuttle, do you know what holds that in place. Didn't find any plastic bags, maybe someone beat me to it, what would have been in it?

Hi, I may have an issue with the run on pump, theres the paradox it does not run on. It is working with the ignition on, but goes off with ignition so does not run on, Can anyone confirm if this is correct 2005 130tdi

Why do you want to? Unless you are planning to remove the wiper linkage there isn't much to be gained from removing it - the scuttle itself is 3 bolts and it slides out leaving the plastic grills behind.

Hi Mirez,

Need to get to the Aux coolant pump as very quiet under there, and aux heater is shutting down due to overheat, so need to change the pump

Help, Can anyone describe how to remove the plastic scuttle cover that sits at the botton of the windscreen, Having accidently cracked a focus windscreen removing that one, I don't want to repeat it on the GAL. Obviously the wiper arms need removing but how is the cover fixed and what tools are required to remove it

hi mirez

it is a slight knock when taking up taking up and releasing drive as you said in lata

when i bought the car last year it was a hell of a lot worse and the garage that i bought it off made it 70% better..tried to get it sorted with them before been removed from their forecourt by their security....lol

i was wondering if theyve just packed the joint full of grease.....? but to be fair it hasnt got much worse...just want to iron out all the faults b 4 trips to the coast this summer

hopefully its just a drive shaft and not anything relating to the gearbox itself as the car hasnt even done 80k yet!!

cheers for the reply dude - top man

ps is the drive shaft - coupling a big job??

When i start the my Ford Galaxy there is a squealing sound for about a second then it stops, if i go over a speed bump or a pot hole in the road the same squealing sound happens, in the last 3 weeks i have had the cam belt changed, auxilary belt changed and tensioner but the problem still persists as you could imagine this gets very irritating. I have recently spoken to a mechanic and he told me "the noise was coming from near the gear box on the left-hand side of the engine", he reccommened changing the starter motor but this will mean more money spent and is still not a certainty.

Mine is the same, fairly sure is caused by Alternator freewheel pulley, anyhow about to change as it is very stiff rotation when should be easy
