  2. Hi how do I remove the radio surround panel on my 56 plate
  3. Hi, 2 questions 1st where are the 2 pressure points for recharging the air-con. 2nd air bag code b0001 stage 1 , where do I need to look, the light can stay off for 3/4 days or it will come on7 stay on for any length of time. Cheers
  4. Hi, I have a major problem, my son had my mk2 galaxy key today & when i have gone to the car i find that the blade including transponder are missing, just the fob top left, i dont have a spare so anyone with any suggestions pls ? Cheers
  5. Hi,No photos, its quite easy to remove the valve leccy plug off & 4 torx bolts,i have got the car to run by blanking off the pipe but cos my friend hasnt got it reassembled correctley internaly then my mil light comes on, i can clear the light but only for a day or two,it runs better with the blanked pipe & shows a fuel return of 47/51 mpg @ a max speed of 65/70 mph Cheers
  6. Don't you have to replace the gasket when removing and refitting the EGR valve? Maybe the lack of a poor seal is causing the engine to cut out so quickly? Do you have any tips/photos on removing the EGR? I would like to have a look at mine but it's position at the back of the engine makes it look impossible for me to get to without carrying out some major surgery unless the 1.8 engine has it in a more convenient location?
  7. Hi, Did you manage to fit the dvd screen ? Cheers
  8. Hi,My mil light came on so i put my code reader onto the car & the fault was the egr valve (needing a spring clean) so my polish fitter friend said he would do it so i left it with him while i did some other work on the car, he cleaned it up (heavy carbon) refitted the valve, started the engine, ok for approx 5 secs then it would cut out, he removed the valve about 5 times trying to set it up but couldnt, he does not know if there was a tension spring against the piston because the car will run if the orifice is blocked off so what is happening is that the piston is blocking the orifice but once the engine has fired up the the pressure of the exhaust gasses push the piston fully open & the engine cuts out, i cant get a detailed description of the valve internaly as Ford only show the egr as 1 complete unit with manifold so i am at a loss as to setting up of the valve & internal components, any help pls ? 2006 MK3 GALAXY 1.8 TDCI 91K ON THE CLOCK
  9. Hi, I take it you have a mk3 gal if so the fuel pump is part of the fuel gauge sender unit & ive been informed by my local ford dealer that you have to drop the tank, i have the same problem but havent sorted it yet as ive just got back from my jollies, a deep pit or ramp would be ideal otherwise its a case of securing the front wheels on level ground then jack the back end up & block it, fuel pump/sender 94.00 from ford, i hope to be doing mine this week.
  10. Hi to programme your key as follows YOUVE GOT TO BE QUICK make sure all doors/windows closed key into driver door within 5 seconds turn key to unlock position 3 times remove key point key @ infrared receiver near rear view mirror at the same time press & hold lock button within 5 seconds press the unlock button 3 times release the lock button key led should flash 5 times & door button led should flash 6 times to exit programming wait 15 seconds same proceedure for additional keys GOOD LUCK
  11. Hi,Looking thru your posts but i dont see a post stating that you have got sorted,if you havent then the 1st thing i would do is to check the battery even though your headlights etc come on this doesnt mean that the battery is ok,if you have a dud cell your lights will still work, try getting a jump start if you have no means of checking the battery ,you can also eliminate a bad earth connection by getting a jump lead ,put 1 terminal onto the negative pole on the battery & the other terminal onto a good clean section of the engine & if this cures it then the earth lead could be loose but i think i would check the battery 1st
  12. I am the wrong side of 60 ,have max ncb & my premium (october 2010) is just under 300.00 that is fully comp, added my 25yr old son on to policy & it went up 100.00 so in total with monthly payments its around 420.00 which im happy with also the difference between fully comp & 3rd party fire & theft is worth bothering about, i dont take breakdown insurance normally but this policy has it included but the only thing with b/down policies is the rescue side you have got to read the small print or ask cos most of them say that they will take you TO THE NEAREST GARAGE so you will be lumbered with a large bill , i have taken b/down cover with the AA & for 20 quid a month i get parts & repairs upto the value of 5oo quid & can claim a max of 5 times a year,also home/destination relay if you want it, mine is a 2001 mk2 1.9tdi with 93k on the clock
  13. Hi ,You will probably get them from a ford dealer but why not try a upholsterer/seamstress they can normally make anything.
