hi, when ifirst had my galaxy and had the same as you the poxy wire was stuck so when the galaxy first come out i must have been very lucky as i went to my local scrappy and told them i wanted to take off that part for my spare wheel he said ok so i took it off the scrapped galaxy took it to their office and guess what

hi, i had the same problem my button on the drivers door wouldnt close the windows so i took off the unit just pulls out of their clasps took it indoors undo the screws that is holding it together, clip off the buttons and underneath them is little white bits some of them comes out so i sprayed them with cleaner put back into place put it all back together and it works now, i think the white bits get clogged with crap and needs cleaning hope it may help you smoggy

hi gazza, no it happens before i reverse off my driveway, i start the engine wait for a couple of secs then i get the warning noise then i move from the driveway its the same sound as the diesel low warning and the oil warning sound its that kind of tone , thanks smoggy

hi , tried that one but still no warning buzz i am only getting this noise every couple of days/ weeks sometimes so cant be anything really wrong otherwise would have shown itself by now i would have thought, so just have to wait ans see if it shows itself for me to find out what it is hopefully when i change it in about 3 years time lol anyway thanks any other ideas would be great, it seems to make this buzz noise in the mornings when the car is cold , all doors are shut light goes off on the turn of the key start the engine and then the buzz last for about 2 secs then goes , dont hear it proberbly in a few days or so , very strange why it wont show itself or something annoying, hope someone can eventually find out what it is or what its for thanks smoggy

hi all, i thought i may share this problem with you all as anyone found out or still having a problem or had a problem with when turning on the ignition on startup about a couple of secs after i get this warning buzz noise but no lights light up on the dash board? we have had some suggestions 1 if leaving the door open buzz can be heard ( i think this is on the mark 1 ) not on my car which is the mark 2 new model checked it, 2 battery going down had this buzz for a while now and battery fine no loose connections. anyone found they have had this problem or have cured it plz can you let us know many thanks smoggy

hi, just had mine done , water in the footwell common problem as it was rightly pointed out, but mine went to far and blew the whole unit, you may be luck in trying to dry it out and rechecking it, that is one possibility also my sensor in the bumber was faulty also so had to replace that too check the wiring to all sensors first before taking a trip to fords as mine was under warranty it cost them

hi all, got them working a loose wire connection at least i had more light to work with this morning rather than last night also blown fuse no 56 parking light which also works the tail light so at least i got it all working now lol still a good thing on these forums is it saves you a trip to the local ford or garage and pay

hi, ok i phoned the other ford in swansea and found the resistor that i need for the blowers thank god there is someone in fords who knows what i want lol. anyway price

hi roomies, just about pi**ed off now another fault today just as i got home anyone help here plz, ok left hand rear lights, i got orange indicator flashing away good, put foot on brake got brake light, but,,,,,,,,,,, no side light or tail light? its a two way stop and tail light when brakes are applied one light is on thats ok checked the bulb the other side no problems works fine, all lights on the right side works ok have no problem just the left no side light or tail any thoughts would be greatfull many thanks smoggy

hi guys. ok i phoned fords for the resistor pack this morning and was told that my galaxy hasnt got one? he told me it was something called a regulator? anyway can someone tell me what the resistor is connected to so i can give them an idea of what i am on about talk about being thick lol thanks smoggy smoggy

hi gazza, well i cleaned all switches and made sure they were a good fit but still no luck no-1&2 still not blowing so now i will have to look at the resistor not today but when i can get one so thanks for the help will let you know when i get the resisitor smoggy

hi guys thanks for the comments but if it is the resistor does the a/c work on all 4 settings what i mean is that at the moment the only time the a/c is on is no-2 setting when 3&4 is selected it goes off, what i am trying to explain is that should the a/c when selected work on the higher 3&4 settings or just on number2 setting? as the light comes on when no-2 is selected then goes out when 3&4 is selected is this normal or should it light up when 3&4 settings is selected thanks smoggy

hi thanks for that but if the fan is running on 3 & 4 shouldnt it work then its only 1&2 thats faulty or because the number 2 isnt working then the a/c wont work at all then is that what your telling me / thanks when you say unit and plugs are you talking about the plugs that the switches are connected to from behind / smoggy

hi guys can you tell me how the a/c work plz, when you turn the heater switch to 4 for the fast blower then put it down to 2 the a/c light comes on then if i turn it up to 3 or 4 again the a/c goes of so is it only on no-2 that the a/c can be used or should it be able to run on the higher numbers i have tried to push the a/c button to light up on numbers 3& 4 but it dont light up, also my no 1 & 2 on the blower isnt working but 3 and 4 are ok have been told its the resistor how much are these about plz? its on a 1.9 tdi galaxy many thanks smoggy

hi guys, well i took the galaxy in today for the timing belt etc about an hour or so went by and to my surprise the water pump needs replacing due to it leaking adding

i just phoned ford to recheck and all the parts come in the kit 2 belts etc and rechecked the all round total and it was correct

hi guys just to let you know that my car is booked in on tuesday for the cam belt price quoted and i have to say i had to double check it but it is correct

hi cheers for that will look out for that , great input from you guys thanks let you know when it happens smoggy

hi guys, what the hell does ice bleeb warning mean lol? anyway someone has suggested the service beep warning me the service is due but i didnt hear it when it came on the 90,000 service just when i turned the key it tells me service now due thats it no sound so i will keep an eye on it only happened once today unless it gives more beeps closer to the service due, it only happens once a day and dont hear it again till the next couple of days thanks guys smoggy

hi seatkid just the one beep just like the oil/fuel beep makes when needed to top up,its only there now and again not all the time just the once at the moment havent heard it since then funny really i hope smoggy

hi, just a small question here lol when i start my galaxy i get this beeping noise but no warning light comes on and im parking in the street where there is no distance for the sensors to kick in ) its the same noise when the petrol gauge comes on when near the time to refuel anyone have had this problemplz can you tell me what it is or what to look for. its just the one beep heard it first thing this morning but not since ???????????? smoggy7

hi, yes i agree with that but i used a lump hammer to get mine out lol so must be a little stronger than we thought then lol, but you have to be carefull also i forgot to mention that once the whole unit is out how easy it was to see and fit the filter for the air con i wish i had gone out and bought a brand new one as it would have saved me the trouble still mine was quite new so not really bothered , no probs mike me very happy now been out in the rain and the wiper go like hell now i am real chuffed, also the other way to loosen the spindle is put the bolt in the vice spray with wd40 and grab the whole linkage and turn from side to side until it loosens then tap it a couple of times and restart again until it do eventually come good takes ages but well worth the wait i think thanks smoggy how you getting on with them spindles mate any luck with it?

hi guys, i would like to thank the two guys who gave their details to me in an email as they say two heads are better than one they are mike and topbloke thanks a million guys , you have to have a go really to save the frauds telling you the cost

hi mate, just to let you know i have just spent 3 hours working on my wipers same problem as you are having the spindles were seized solid and has to come out to be cleaned and regreased there were 3 spindles on mine so done all 3 what a difference it made better wipers now and gliding over the screen instead of slow and dragging wipers reall not that difficult to get at and to take out, the clip that is attached to the motor side just push in the two clips and pull out was alittle stuck but got it in the end there is just to the right of the clip is a plastic clip attached to it to keep the wires away from moving parts i had to use a screw driver just to release it once this was all done then undo the 3 brass nuts you cant miss them once you have taken all that plastic trim and crap off the whole unit then just pull away and a bit fiddly but it comes out all together, put on a bench and take out the c clip and washer and pull the spindle through , mine was not as easy on the one side seized solid so sprayed with wd40 soaked in for a while then we had to use a block to protect the thread and had to hit it with an hammer that was the only way we could get it out once out sprayed with wd40 cleaned the spindle and regreased them put back together and do the same to the others refit the unit and all should be ok try it i did and saved me
