Look in the FAQ section its listed in there,,,,,

Are the galaxy headlights not a different shape to the sharan headlights,,,so GSF and EUROPARTS are no good for replacements

Great idea, count me in

Nik you are right, but it resets itself to a default setting every time you turn off the ignition, though thats not saying its not faulty :lol: :P

:lol: :P :D Yeah not bad :D

sounds like either a faulty relay or faulty selecter switch

Dont know much about the diesel gal but there is a little pipe connected to the air filter box that you may have accidently disconnected while fitting the new MAFF :lol:

Nik and 3.5 thanks for all your help, i will get a new sensor order from ford,,,,,,,,,, :D Nik sorry, i was not implying your post meant the maf was suspect, i was only saying i knew the maf was ok and i was only explaining that i had a rough idea what the air temp sensor did, Cheers :P :lol: :D

I know its not the MAF, disconnecting it, makes the engine idle the same, but drivability of the gal, is horrible, hesitates from pulling away and a serious lack of power, I am guessing that the air temp sensor takes a temp reading passes it to the ecu which adjusts fueling depending on the temp, if the air temp fails to send or takes the wrong reading then the engine will be over/under fuelled at idle and probably the whole rev range?,,,,,,,I know its a rough explaination!!!!!!! :lol: The air temp has been disconnected for 2 days and the erractic idle has not returned, so I am going to assume its the air temp sensor,,,,,maybe leave it a week and see how i get on :D

Cheers Nik.

Would a faulty air temp sensor causes the engine to idle erratic, I have disconnected it and the engine idles better, cheers for any help :wacko:

IIRC the aux fuse box was not fitted to the petrol gal after 1998, your temp guage sender and the temp sender for the ecu are two different sensors, they are in a black housing at the end of the cylinder head above the gearbox, Ignore the 3 arrows pointing to the bolt

Nik read your handbook it says, dont press the remote while out of range of your car, you will loose the remote facility,,,,,,you need to press the unlock button 3 times quickly (within range of your car), and it should fix itself, if not you need to reprogram the remote key/s

Can you not use a standard pc power supply and an inverter

I have never removed the dash on the gal,,,,,but i did do it on a renault espace,,,,,,,and it was straight forward and easy enough,,,,,dash out and in in half a day, with stops for coffee,,,,,,,,, You need to get a Haynes manual, it gives a good descripition of what you need to do, to remove the dash,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,get them from halfords ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,good luck :D You also may need to get a good torx set as well,,,,,,,,,if you dont have a set

I assume when he says central locking not working, he meant the remote key,,,,,,my mistake,,,,,,,,,only other key with a battery would be the torch type key :rolleyes:

Well mines a late 98 model and it has a lead/acid battery,,,,,,,,listing in halfords===lead/acid battery,,,,,,,,,,,

There is also a known problem with the wires snapping where they pass between the tail gate and the body of your gal, especially if the high brake light still works, The central locking maybe a duff battery in your key and it needs reprogramming,,,,look in the faq section for the sequence :46: Is this Ford mechanics at work,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, :rolleyes:

If you dont have floppies, you can put it on a cd, then change your bios settings to boot up from a cdrom first,,,,,,,,,,,,, :lol: Road Rage, Anyone :lol:

You can get a little program from microsoft (foc), download it to your pc, put it on a floppy, then restart pc with floppy in the drice the program will test your memory and tell you if it is faulty or not,,,,,,, I done this, memory was faulty, replaced memory and i never got the blue screen again,,,,,,,,,,,, Clicky Here :lol:

I cant see them either,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, :unsure:

Dont know about the fuses,,,,,,,,,but there is an adapter to change the sony cd multi plug to a ford multi plug,,,,any good ICE shop will get it for you

Dont Know if its safe,,,,,,but your not getting my bank details,,,,,,,,, :unsure: :unsure: :unsure: B)

Sorry Matt Jr, The method was a bit simpler, I dont have tow bar and trailer was past its best. Got complete tyrailer into galaxy after spending a few hours with the angle grinder. (Chopped it into many small bits !!) G Good one,,,, :unsure: :unsure: :unsure: Going to do the same with 14ft boat trailer within the next few days (just made a new one from stainless steel ) B)

Seen them on a Kia 7 seater(cant remember what they are called ,,,,, Doh!!!!!!!) ,,,,, even though its a cr*p car they looked good, ,,,,,,, are they available for the Gal ,,,,
