Good point I wondered who would notice that ! Plus your nearside sidewalls are more likely to get scuffed....at least with my parking.

Maybe in a previous life it was a 2.3L

Surely the only swap you would do would be front to back same side ( wouldn't expect any difference in wear between left and right ). Good point about the spare...although they are going out of fashion !

Logic would suggest that "directional" tyres have some large advantage over non-directional otherwise why bother making them ?

Insert the Key but do not turn it on Press and hold the Mileage Meter Reset Button. While holding the reset button, start your car and continue to hold the button. Within 10 seconds, the display should change to "test" on the LCD readout.and the needles will do a full sweeping. Release the Button By pressing the button you can now cycle through 17 different modes 1.Shows a Gauge Sweep 2. Shows all 8's on the LCD (LCD TEST) 3. Illuminates all the bulbs on the dash 4. Displays hexadecimal value for ROM level 5. Displays the hexadecimal value for EE level 6. Shows DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) 7. Digital Speedometer - MPH 8. Digital Speedometer - KPH 9. N/A 10. Digital tachometer 11.Fuel volume 12. Engine coolant temperature 13. Battery voltage 14. ABS fail 15. Electronic brake distribution (EBD) failure 16. Illumination 17. Crank Sense All will go back to normal once ignition is switched back off ONE ASSUMES THIS ONLY WORKS ON FORDS NOT VW's p.s. Just send the 99p in the post..... :angry2:

Were these the SP2020's they have a reputation for not lasting very well, basically crap soft rubber. A decent pair of budget tyres should last at least 30,000 miles, I have gotten 50,000 out of several different types.

Nice gal....dodgy engine but worth it for the parts.. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=300170710826

Sounds like a problem with the Auto Box....does it do it if you change down manually rather than kickdown ?

A picture would be very useful of this !

Has it ever worked since you had the car...I see some previous postings from a while ago ?

Is this the same as in your manual http://www.fordgalaxy.org.uk/ford/index.php?showtopic=14257

First thought would be Fuse 22 but if as you say this is ok then maybe Relay 4 I think this also controls the rear blower but may just be poor or burnt out contacts. Not 100% on this p.s. can you put your model and year into your signature...I am guessing you have a MK1 ?

Couldn't agree more Pet.... The way ex-servicemen are treated in this country is a disgrace... Drives me mad when I see these namby pamby do-gooders criticising them.

VAT will go to the government. It is complicated but basically a company will pay VAT on its puchases and charge VAT on its sales. If the Sales are larger than the Purchases ( one would think this would be the normal condition ) then this difference is payable to the government. Try here VAT for more info.

Hi Pet, You've been quiet, thought you were away on a dirty weekend again ... :ph34r:

This is a sneaky one.....technically theft rather than tax.. If there are any bank or savings accounts which have not been activated for fifteen years then Labour are proposing to take the money for their own use..! And another example..... Average cost of a flight to New York 1997....

Too much fuel getting to the heater......most likely cause is fuel metering pump which is likely to have been the original fault anyway. However I am not 100% sure if this is separate or integral part of the heater unit.

Seen this and thought it was funny http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DO4oHrPrj9I

1997 Petrol...19.9p per litre...Plus 47.8p tax&duty 2007 Petrol...29.2p per litre...Plus 70.4p tax&duty Average figures

If the wait gets any longer you'll be getting a Mk4 ..... :16:

Yes its wrong, other way around.

Just shows you how bad my "Man Cold" is..... :lol: Oy! ........I've just bloody noticed that signature... :(

Came accross this little website http://www.exitmundi.nl/exitmundi.htm I fancy "whammo" myself.
