Then drive down to Le Mans for 1 night, then down to La Rochell for 12 days, then to Brissac in the Loire Vally for 2 days , then to EuroDisney for 4 days then home on the 30 August Cant wait but in the mean time i am going to Ferry Meadows Round plantation Seacroft Banham zoo The covert Ashridge Farm

Hi all, I have a 98 TDI with a superchip fitted. I have been towing since 2000 when i got my first caravan, a Elddis wisp and then a Avondale Dart 510 and now I'm on my third caravan a sterling Europa 495. All i can say is that the Galaxy has always towed well and i would buy another one when I change from this Galaxy

had the same problem a few weeks ago but got the key out.I can only open the door as the lock wont turn backwards.Ihave tryed oil and wd40 but no good had a look on ebay and theres a lock set for

well its a fords and it turned out to be the o/s drive shaft hoping that its not damaged anything else :ph34r:

Please help has anyone had this problem that I am just experiencing. Which is after returning on a long journey with my caravan in tow, I started to experience a rumbling noise between 50-60 mph, which disappears when you come off of the accelerator pedal and then when re-accelerating the noise returns again. I do not know if something has broken and this is causing the exhaust to make contact and send a vibration under the floor pan or maybe the engine mount has broken or whether or not it is something else. It still makes this noise without the caravan on the back. So does anyone know or have any ideas please. Thanks. :lol:

just had a read back in time and now i know what the fault is, when i ring fords in the morning i wont be fobbed off, thanks all :angry:

please tell me more as i have just had a service done and one day later i have no brake lights and the glow blug light is flashing :angry:

Sounds like the same problem as mine,coming home the car cut out.Turned the key and it would start and run,but as soon as you pulled away it would cut out and the glow plug light would flash.It went to Fords and it was all down to a corroded wirer.....cost

Yep,had this happen to me,but not the air bags. tock car in for servicing,when i collected the car i checked the engine bay a clip that holds the fuel filter was busted. went back in to the service center and told them.There reply was that they forgot to tell me and they did`nt have the part to replace it.lucky i check before leaving the dealer :( s

think i may have blown the speakers,it sounds like humming.if not maybe the amp

Yep had this happen on my 98 galaxy a few months back.Got the whole new wiper linkage from fords,changed it all over in about 2 hours useing the hanyes book.No big probs just follow the book

When driving home today i turned the radio volume down and could hear feed back in the o/s rear speakers.Think there maybe a bad earth or broken wire anyone had this in ther galaxy

was told that the pump is run from a differant belt that also runs the power steering but i thought they were connected so will have a look in the hanyes manual then have a word with them...thanks <_<

Had it done at local garage they charged

60000 service due,so have booked car in for monday. Cambelt to be changed as recommended by Fords.

just been on the mackro web site, there know selling cars.this sounds good,ford galaxy Ghia :lol: 19 tdi 130 bhp 6 gears,how much do you think there selling it for.........wait for it

charged me twenty pounds to get the new code, ;) entered it into radio worked first time

Fords no about this and it was an old recall.Saw it on parkers web site 2 days a go

I have the tdi 110,but have had it chipped because it lacked power on the m/way on the long climbs and overtaking.But other than this it`s a great tow car with plenty of room and good kerb weight.I tow a Avondale dart 1200KG,i would recommond having the chip fitted as it makes a lot of differance

when driving home to day i flicked through the radio tuning to find a channel to listen to.But as i did this the radio asked for the code,you gessed it i dont have the code so what can i do.I dont even know if a code was entered by the former owner,do i need to contact fords or does anyone know away round this

Yes, had it done,and it does make a lot of differance solo.Have not tryed it with the van on the back but will soon.Pulling away 1st gear is the same,2nd gear more power,3rd gear more power and so on.But the best thing is when on the m/way 5th gear, no slow over-taking or droping down to 4th gear.I did have second thougths but having had RS turbos and cosworths in the past that had been chipped i went ahead.Never had any problems with them so hey, cheaper than selling my car for silly money,and paying top wack for newer shape car

Hello to all the members,this is my first posting.I have been looking at this site for a while so have just joined.I will be having a chip fitted on tuesday,was hopeing someone might have had this done,and was you pleased with it,its not a speed thing but i tow a caravan and need a bit more power for pulling.
