aha!!..i was right according to my trusty manual where it is shown as a nice pretty rectangle!

Brake fluid reservoir IIRC iis at the back of the engine bay on the left in the corner....damn hard to see..to access it means removing a couple of things. Or am i thinking of something else??Hmmm......handbook time..

In joke yes..as its the only thing i know how to do. :) we are niceeeeeeeeeeeee peeps..well..most of the time anyway untill egos get in the way... :huh: ask away and i look forward to seeing you beat nikpv the arcade....lol.....its a bit funny at the mo..unless glens fixed it as i havent been in this morning yet..

Hmmm..you know.....i havent signed this petition ..as to be honest....even though the red arrows are pretty cool..there are service personnel out there fighting wars without the correct gear as the government doesnt have the money to equip them properly....the services are soo stretched at the moment that if things got worse abroad then it would break...I believe the money is better spent elsewhere on the services in this present climate we are in...iran..iraq..Afghanistan..then you have service personnel detached to the falklands...the services is seriously undermanned at the moment and are stretched to breaking point..and the morale is utterly crap with people leaving the services every single day..it is soo bad that a lot of service personnel cant even get leave in and some personnel are drafted from one camp to another to cover for those who go sick..The british troops are not happy at the mo ..and who would you like fighting for this country?..a soldier who is well equipped..and happy in his job?..or one who is p**** off. with not enough equipment to keep him safe and doesnt care anymore.. here are a few views taken from a services forum i frequent..make your own mind up with seeing both sides of the coin... As much as my kids, wife and I engoy watching them, I cannot help but think that It might be worth getting rid if it means extra funding would be made available to the masses who are striving for personal kit, spares for "Operational" A/C and basics like decent accomodation. Yes the Scarlet Tarts are a good ad for the RAF and HM Forces but would we rather have them in the papers than guys at Brize with cr@p quarters "The UK's defence spending, as a proportion of GDP, is at its lowest since 1931, yet at 2.1% the country is still classed as a big spender when compared with other European nations: France's spending is less than 2%, Germany's is 1.4%, Spain's is 1.3% and Italy's is approximately 1%." It wouldn't be the fact that they would be prepared to bin the reds to give MQ's a revamp or spend it on kit for the front line. It would be that the purse strings have been tightened that much that they can't afford to keep them barrel rolling around the world! Think that goes to show how much they are cutting defence spending! At least with the threat of the Reds going Joe Public might sit up and take note; they do not do so when front line equipment is cut Can't see it happening myself. The Sparrows are an integral part of the UK identity worldwide, not just the RAF. Any sane Government (or is that an oxymoron) would be foolish to do so. As has been said, any 'savings' would not benefit HM Forces, just get swallowed up in that big black hole that is The Exchequer

Ooo...I smell fresh blood.. :) :) Welcome to the madhouse Nigel...friendly peeps we are though some refuse to take their meds..(watch out for nikpv..he bites when its a full moon! :huh: ..)) you have the opposite to me..i have 3 girls and one boy..awwww.....bless em..little buggers that they are..

Tell er indoors to mop it up if she that bothered.its what i would do if i were bothered..(mop it up i mean)..cars im afraid are not clean creatures.....The novelty of a new drive will soon wear off and then she wont care how mucky it gets...i really need another cuppa....not awake yet... :huh: you know..just thinking...could always collect the water and use it to water the plants :)

as for the rattle..i have one on the passenger side..called wiper rattling against the screen in mine ... as for yours..could be anything..does it happen all the time or only after youve put yer foot down and the rest of the world becomes a blur?

Thanks Andy...do you still have my number? I'm hoping its not too hard whitty..forum will hear if it is.lmao.

Thank you for your concern and advice whitty..I am having to do the oil change now as i am replaceing the oil level sensor which goes into the sump.I am trying to make the oil level warning go away ..after i have done this..then i will concentrate on getting it through the MOT. I bought the oil filter today and will get the oil tomorrow..i am trying to get hold of some axle stands, but MT on camp wont let me borrow theirs..after paying for oil..the filter..and the level sensor on top on the oil pressure switch..i will have spent nearly

If anyone wants the above members number..in regards to his breaking a galaxy..then please let me know and i will pm you the number.

i thought he meant the warning lights...

which ones stay on?..all of them?

as long as they all go out again once engine is running then you should be ok..its wen they stay on then you think hmmmm......but yes..they all come on then go off again.

Thanks Dave...and thank you for all the info you have given me.

anyway...found this thread.. http://www.fordgalaxy.org.uk/ford/index.ph...p;hl=oil+change

whitty..i understand what you are saying..but it is my choice as to how i get the front of the car up and right now i am doing what i can to do that safely..money is an issue considering what work needs doing to the gal to get her thru the mot..and with 4 kids and no money in the bank i am doing what i bloody can to fix her! And i dont work as such as i am a housewife, and the peeps on here know that i will not attempt anything that i think may be beyond my capabilities.And i will not cut corners where safety is concerned so please like some peeps on here have faith in my capabilities.

Been having a gander at the V6 oil change thread in FAQs....is it the same for a diesel?..all the drain thingies the same?

This little beauty is what cost sooooo much and by god it had better fix the problem!!

Ok..parts in..off to see what my spondoolies bought.

probably..but with limited funds...where coming up at the end of the month is MOT and TAX and also needing a service...i need to rob a bank!!..i cant service it myself untill i get this oil level warning off..axle stands may not cost much....but im nay bottomless pitt..and where i think i know it will fail the MOT...i have to keep funds for sorting them probs out..
