Time for you to PM the Forum God methinks........hope he's not on his hols.

The red block will always be there as it cannot be defragmented by defrag. However hopefully pagedefrag will have defragmented it. Does the defrag report state how defragmented this file is ? p.s notice the use of two frag's in every sentence perhaps these need defragged also.

There you go....me talking carp again. Just a thought on the brakes......reading the thread about the ones one ebay. No one seems to have mentioned the different types ?

Once more.......when I click on Nikpv's picture I get http://www.vrstamps.com/stuff/Galaxy/Image1.jpg links still work..... I think Glen's been on the soda again.... :ph34r:

When I click on Nikpv's image I get........ The picture that I was going to attach but the upload link has gone .......... OK Be right back

I thought they did .......aren't the 150bhp and the 130bhp just the ordinary 115bhp engine that have been chipped ?

All of the Diesels ( even the 90BHP ) will pull a caravan better than the 2.0l. The 2.0l was a mistake..they used a readily available ford engine but it wasn't up to the job of moving the Galaxy alone never mind towing a caravan. The 2.3l gave substantially more power and returned the same if not better fuel economy. The 2.0l was dumped when the MK2 came out.

I would ignore the relays...it sounds like your battery is flat. The diesel engines take a bit of turning over.........either trickle charge your battery overnight or find a pair of decent jump leads and a friend or neighbour ( with a car ).

Its not your windows swap file (paging file ) is it ? If so disable it, run defrag then re-enable it.

Only if you have little girly hands :) otherwise its shredded knuckles time.

http://www.fordgalaxy.org.uk/ford/index.php?showtopic=7886 Should help you

Yep that is the flexible pipe that you clamp and that is the bleed nipple ( under the rubber dustcap ).

Looks in better nick than mine. Bargain for someone willing to put a bit of effort in.

Very nice article. The Galaxy MK1 and MK2 Diesel is actually a VW Sharan with a couple of Ford badges and trims stuck on therefore the article is extremely relevant.

Pagedefrag sounds like the baby for you.

Have you fixed it yet

Sounds electrical...prossible dodgy relay cutting power to the spark plugs. Unless you have been buying water...sorry I meant petrol... from Tesco's.

I think I would buy new discs for that.......only twenty odd quid on ebay complet with pads

I would be suspicious of the Ignition Relay ( 130 or 103 cant remember which but is bottom right ) This relay controls the fuel cut-off valve.....which obviously is locking on and also controls the main ECU.

Hope the smoke isn't the turbo going ! Its not just some resistors in a box is it ?

Pagedefrag might be more useful.....same site

go here http://www.sysinternals.com enter File & Disk Utilities get CONTIG caution is advised............read the instructions Some other useful stuff can be found there as well.

Its your windows registry ( or at least the main part of it ). You can't do anything with it because it is in use. Leave it alone or your PC will get upset and die.
