I thought I would have a bid to gee it along a bit....no intention of buying...someone beat me to it....now at

My first thought would be a sticky brake pedal switch..or relay

I am sure I read some where that it is still legal to beat a woman up as long as you limit it to no more than 10 blows...! You will receive my slap at the next oppurtunity....... :ph34r:

It has parking sensors on the description and seems to have some on the pics of the rear bumper. Most sellers won't tell you the reserve because buyers will wait till the last minute and then all bid just over it, rather than their maximum bid.....makes sense really.

FROM THE DVLA...note date of registration not manufacture. MAKE: FORD MODEL: GALAXY GHIA 16V AUTO ENGINE SIZE: 2295 COLOUR: GOLD FUEL: PETROL PREVIOUS KEEPERS: 1 DATE OF REG: 12/09/2006 LAST KEEPER CHANGE: 14/10/2006

I would still enquire about the registration date, still comes up as 2006. Nice motor though !

Is there actually any power getting to the glowplugs ( fuse or relay gone) ?

It is possible to get it to over 65,000 Euros (

Alledgedly Black Ones are bigger and don't fit in the hole.

I think the word "compensation" may arise soon !

Interesting news snippet http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7082285.stm Although I prefer this one http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7076799.stm

I think I have just about overdosed on Lemsip and similar, starting to rattle with all the pills in me. The Brandy idea sounds nice but will have to wait until the weekend. Unfortunately I am still at work.....which involves driving.

It now appears the Husband is blaming the Hospital over his wife's death......thats nice of him !

I will have you know I am not well at the moment....have a case of Man Flu......sneezing myself to death.....coughing...can't breath.....no bloody sympathy from the dragon..

Seen the note he has added saying date of first registration is 2001 strangely if you do a check it was first registered 2006........ Looks even more iffy now that he has changed it ? Oh, and is that a Southampton or Portsmouth Registration.....now where would an imported vehicle arrive in the country ?

I'm sorry, and the problem is ? I can understand fahrenheit...60 degrees means something to me..nice comfortable type of temperature. 15.5 degrees celsius means didly squat...I have to mentally convert this to Fahrenheit to understand it. Leave it on Fahrenheit its easier for us old people to understand. Please note the correct spelling of Fahrenheit and the use of Celsius rather than centigrade....old and educated.....bloody youngsters... ;)

Are you sure its not an electrical problem....Ignition Relay possibly....this would kill both your glowplugs and ECU playing hell with the smooth running of the engine.

Just reminded me of a useful tip if you get pulled for using a mobile by an unmarked car... hang up quickly...dial 999..." Help me please I have this suspicious person following me !" Worth a try...what have you got to lose... :wacko:

The second hand price can be a bit high...you can get a brand new one for

Hi Aurtoru, Welcome to the forum, I am sure you will enjoy it. Please feel free to post any problems you have with your Galaxy as the members here are more than willing to help.

Yep I smoke too much and don't have the willpower to stop....this would make it easier. However the Highway code amendment...........its no different from any other form of undue care and attention....if you take your eyes of the road or hands of the wheel whilst doing it then yes it could be described as this....so could changing gear, dipping your rear view mirror...quite deadly that one, udjusting your sunvisor.....and my personal favourite wearing sunglasses when not sunny...although technically this is driving with vision impaired. This is down to the Tobacco Taliban and the Halfwit Road Safety Minister ( Jim Fitzpatrick )....Honest he's not that intelligent. Who I quote "If you're lighting up with one hand and have a fag in the other hand then obviously you've not got any hands on the wheel" I am sorry, who lights up a fag like that ?......you put a fag in your gob with one hand whilst the other is on the wheel and you then light it with one hand on the wheel and the other on the lighter....(does anyone still use matches anymore).....surely he could have checked his facts first....typical Labour idiot. Anyhow the fact I was rolling a fag whilst driving up the M1 is besides the point....this is why you have cruise control and knees... :wacko:

Noticed he has a 2001 Toyota registered 2006 as well. Also I believe he does the LPG conversions himself ( or his company does).

Tests have shown that below 10mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood there is no observable difference in behaviour or reaction times. The obvious worry about zero is that you could have a small amount of alcohol in your blood through medication and food, or even absorption through the skin from perfumes etc.......what about passive drinking where your drunken mate breathes on you.. :wacko: You could lower the limit from 80mg down to 40mg or even 20mg but I think at the moment its about right, in my opinion. The only way zero would work would be to introduce a ban on the sale and consumption of alcohol, which may or may not be a good thing......"I wish they would do this with fags"

Make a note of the dates and times and check your bill.....hopefully the other person didn't realise he was on someone else's line and hadn't made any dodgy phone calls...
