  1. Thats what I was after. Thanks for your help Bill
  2. My 04 Galaxy Ghia (1.9 tdi) had a warning on its MOT last year that both front macpherson struts had excessive movement at the upper attachment, and they would need replacement. I've read all the info on this site about them being tested on movable plates, but i'd like the actual chapter and verse from VOSA. I've tried searching on the VOSA site with no joy. Can anyone supply me with a link to the section on the VOSA site please. Thanks in advance Bill
  3. What Sparky said. Mine goes in on Wednesday to be repaird.
  4. No Mate, just sounds noiser, as in a louder diesel engine noise (like the old ones) Anyway, Popped over to my local repair garage who think its the aux belt and tensioner. I've booked it in for Wednesday, I'll let you know what happens? Cheers Bill
  5. Strange one here guys Over the last couple of days I
  6. Cheers Guys, much appreciated
  7. Following an accident in my 04 Galaxy tdi, I managed to wreck the front of my car. The repairs have been carried out, but the radiator appears to sitting at an angle. I
  8. Just a quick update Pulled the rubber boot off the wire connector in the drivers door. Found two cables that were split (electric window cables) and the copper wire was showing, Put tape over those two. There was one wire that had separated from the connector block thingy. The break was actually in the block (it looked like the metal had snapped somehow) I could see no way to pull out the spade connector from the block, so I used some tin foil and araldite. All works OK now. It
  9. Cheers mate I'll have a dig around over the weekend. Bill
  10. After trawling through pages of door lock problems, I think I may have a unique one. Car is an 04 1.9tdi. when I press the remote key the drivers door does not unlock, All other door open fine, but not the drivers one. Now for the strange bit, If I relock the car, unlock it, relock it and unlock it the drivers door unlocks correctly. Therefore the door will not open unless I unlock/relock three times. If I only try twice it will not work, and if I try four times it stays locked. If I get a passenger to open the drivers door from inside the alarm goes off when I try to start the car, and the same thing happens if I open the door with the key! Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Bill
  11. Hi Guys Can anyone tell me what size the inner CV joint nuts are. I believe they are some sort of spline drive.? I'm replacing the inner CV boot on a 04 Derv. Thanks Bill
  12. Sorry Guys I'm a bit confused, What model and years does this recal relate to??? Thanks Bill
  13. I Picked up the brochure from my local Fords, Looks very nice......But all the pictures were of ones with all the options, so it would look nice!!!!!
  14. Just to keep you all updated. Picked the car up yesterday afternoon. All work had been done under warranty. New N/S drop link (2nd one in less than 5 months), new aux heater exhaust and glow plug. I was out quite late last night, and whilst driving home I had to accelerate quite rapidly to avoid a di**khead in a sooped up Corsa. Noticed quite a bit of white smoke and I
  15. Well i've just picked my car up, NOT Fixed, in fact they had not even taken the car into the service bay...... Apparently the aux heater glowplug and exhaust needed replacing, although i told the service guy that the smoke comes out of the rear of the car and not the side, and that was not an item they keep in stock, so they had to order them in. 'its quite a rare part to go wrong'?????? They did'nt even look at the knocking suspension, its the drop link, even though it was replaced mid november... Obviously there is no courtesy Car, so its a train into work on Tuesday......
