Hi Bit of a weird query here. I bought my new (04) Galaxy from a ford main dealer, via thier internal stock list. The car was sold to me as immaculate condition, with no accident damage or dents. I paid top book price for it, as it was described 'as new'. (TDI Ghia, 115ps, Versitility pack, 1300miles

Cheers James, I'd tried Chastillian, they could get it in but i did'nt want to wait. (typical eh!)

Thought i'd change my knocking drop link yesterday, popped down to my local(usual) car parts shop, They had none in stock, although listed in thier books. Because i wanted to do it yesterday (got a busy week) went to the local VW dealers in Dartford. The parts guy said they had none in stock, but they cost

My cat has a hole in it, and the front section (with the bendy pipe) is rusted onto it. I've been quoted over

The hoses are on a sharan tdi. They run over the top of the engine, at the back effectively under the windscreen. (but they are attatched to other hoses. They both lead into a unit that hangs from a bracket to the left of the battery enclosure (effectively under the windscreen in the engine just right of centre) The hoses go to the rear left of the engine. Thanks Bill

Hi again Just a quick Queston What do the green and Orange cloth covered hoses go to and come from. Mine look a bit frayed, and i'm trying to do a bit of self maintence before i call in the Pro's. (still too noisy for my liking) Thanks Guys Bill

Thanks for the kind offer, Mines a 1999, its just the dashboard controls i'm having problems with. Bill

ah!! thats why i need an owners manual, I press the switch, the light goes on, but i don't know what else should happen. Theres no whirring or buzzing so is it on?, Have i pressed the right buttons??

Hi Can anyone reccommend a source for a sharan owners manual, the one that is originaly supplied with the car that tells you how things work, etc. (I'm not sure about how to use the air con, heated front window etc) Thanks Bill 1.9tdi (90bhp) 1999

Thanks

Evss I'm after one as well, and i've tried a few searches with no joy. Could you give me an idea what to serch for???

Thanks for that, Must say this forum has become my favorite reading area at present. Seems to be a lot of very informed people here. Thanks for the info again Bill

No, The car starts very well, Glow plug light goes out and it fire up practically straight away.

Hi I'm new to Galaxys (well mine is really a Sharan)(1.9tdi diesel). I've noticed an anoying tick from the glove box area. The ticking starts about five minutes after start up, and it does not respond to engine revs, just ticks along, sometimes slowly, sometimes faster. If I open the glove box the ticks get louder, as though its something inside the car, rather than in the engine bay. I've not investigated it yet, Planned to do so at the weekend, but any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks Bill

Hi I've got a 1999 sharan 1.9tdi diesel (90bhp) (Bought it last week) with a replacement engine, (i was buying it before the previous engine blew up). The engine seems noisy when I accelerate, almost like the diesels of old. But when the car is driving normally you can hardly hear the engine. I first thought the exhaust hadn
