Last monday i was picking my son up from school and went to change into 2nd and this grinding sound came from underneath!! Well low and behold the right inner drive was gone.I rang 30 breakers yards in Ireland and couldn't get one for love nor money! Tried the north aswell no joy!!! I was told by a few driveshaft centers that the piece that goes into the gearbox would have to come from the ford dealer. I am after finding out that its a fairly common fault with the galaxy/sharon/alambra er what ever its called. Found a web site with good service called Motomax.eu. They do rebuilt drives and they are out of Poland. Worth checking out!!!

Thanks steve i'll check it out in the morning!

My 03 galaxy just started to lose oil in the last month. It seems to be running fine apart from this!! I am wondering if the parking heater has anything to do with this because it seems to be running constantly even when its turned off!! Also there is a strong smell coming from it when the van is running!! My other theory is the turbo might be letting oil into the intercooler!!! Not sure what's going on???
