Middle Row Headrests

thats nearly as funny as driving a seat -
Hi guys, Do you think it is possible to use the rear headrests of the new shape Focus on my 55 plate Galaxy.(To replce the middle row headrests) ie will they fit and go up and down ok?

Hi guys,My dad is thinking of buying a second hand new shape Focus.The questions is there a fault with the head lights ie a lot of the cars have misted head lights(condensation).Do the lights need to be change under warranty?

Revs At Idle
purplemadboy replied to purplemadboy's topic in Ford Galaxy Technical Section MK I MK II
Car has been in for 2000mile chek up and the revs should be around 900-950 -
I would just like to say thank you too everyone on this forum......You have all been more than helpful to my dumb questions.
-
How noisy should my engine be?Mine has a deep growl,as much as a deisel can growl.But a Sharan passed by and it had a nice sound ,much softer than mine and I could hear the turbo whine,no chance of hearing it on mine.It goes in for its first service(interime)2000 miles should I say anything?

Towing A Caravan
purplemadboy replied to purplemadboy's topic in Ford Galaxy Technical Section MK I MK II
Me again guys,thanks for the info....to give you the whole picture my car has just turned 2000miles(does it need run in?)and the caravan is Bailey Senator Arizona.yes I try and tow between 65 to 70 foot was all the way to the floor in sixth,any small incline just killed it and had to drop a gear.Could not tow at 60 in sixth it would just about stalling.I had a land rover td4 and it would burn the balls off the galaxy on towing..needless tow say i am very disapointed.WISH I had my landie back. -
I KNOW DONT ASK A QUESTION FOR WEEKS THEN 2 COME. If anyone tows a caravan what MPG do you get?I tow a fair size van with the 1.9 tdi 150bhp and only get 19mpg should I get better than this?
