WElcome der, i edited your profile to show your location, welcome to the mad house..think we have a couple of other members from over there. :lol:

Quite a few peeps on here have one fitted in their Gals, it can be done but dont quote me on it as i never have.Bleeno has one, not sure who else has...i lose track of who has what these days. welcome to our humble abode :lol:

Seatkid is right, ring them...youve spent over a grand on this car already .. i dont understand why you are hesitating on ringing for advice?? when the guy who has your car admits he doesnt know!!..its madness.We are trying to help you here....

I was thinking of..... Damage to your manicured nails and delicate skin... Umm..no manicured nails here skin is ooo soo delicate though... Your expensive clothing could get dirty and oily.... :o I have overalls :lol: You would have someone to blame if it didn't work.... If it didnt work and someone else did it..meant they didnt listen to me and did it wrong :o Plus how far you would have to jack the car up to get your bum under it... :o Oi, my rear aint THAT big!! :o yer cheeky swine :o

What i wanna do that for?????..am quite capable of trying to fix on me todd :lol: Besides, they get in the way and dont listen to me :o :o

Fire and burn? umm find another bugger?? gis a clue or even better tell me.lol

Or the fact you said guys and didnt include gals :lol:

Ring them today.....dont wait.That way you can be armed with any info they may be able to give you...Hmm..reckons hes done hundreds but yours in the first 4x4?? Going to sound daft here, but was it you or your partner that first took the car in??

Check the one that turns with the handbrake on first.......unless they both do :lol: . Remember to chock the front wheels, both in front and behind.....(note: this does not involve Cadbury's ). Alternatively F.A.B. Ok..what does F.A.B mean??? :o rear brakes are discs......will be doing the handbrake ones. Bugger..i went out and bought 4 huge chocky bars!! :o

going to be checking the brake shoes just in case....

Bet your daughter is pleased :lol:

mm..took inches off my ass :lol: well pleased with it i was!

well, i rang hastings, and their quote is now 480 quid over 12 months with breakdown as they didnt include it in their original quote.even though i added it on the internet quote...cant quite figure it all out really, soo..even though hastings is 20 odd quid cheaper..im sticking with diamond coz it means in 10 months rather than a year i can bugger off elsewhere with 3 years no claims.

Ring the buggers fer gawds sake.......put a rocket up their arse and tell em you want yer motor back!that you have a car with several seats in it for a reason as you are a prolific serial breeder.. :lol: :blink:

This is from their site Identifying your Unit If you have a four speed autobox there are several different types. To identify this further we will need the identification number, which is on the left-hand side behind the selector rod, on a 3 x 9cm nameplate. We are interested in the second number from the top, the number will begin with 1043 and are followed by six further numbers, i.e. 1043 010 744 We need to know the last three numbers. Click here to see a video showing this number. Common types of 4HP22 are, 332, 593, 699, 740, 741, 742, 744, 747, 748 The 4HP22EH or 4HP24EH will end in 061, 065, 727, 728, 759, 763, 764, 765, 766, 767, 768, 769

Umm..ive never heard of a quote untill hes done the job line before!!..if i were you..id go elsewhere..ring the place SK said...me thinks you are being taken for a ride here....and to be honest if i were in your shoes id tell him thanks but no more youve spent enough with him..he doesnt know whats wrong and you want to get a second opinion.Dont let him do anymore work on it as you have no idea how much its going to cost you !!..i have a feeling that you are being fleeced...If the car is driveable..take it away from there and start ringing round.. this is only my opinion.But after spending over a thou on it and prob still there...then he obviously dont know what the heck he is doing or is genuinely baffled and you need to find someone who will know.Ring the peeps SK pointed out.Ive provided their details below Email: info@ashcroft-transmissions.co.uk Phone: 01582 496040 Fax: 01582 595040

Hi danny boy, cant help with the key, but yes you can just replace the glass in the wing mirror..the connections come with the mirror.When i ordered one from ford for the galaxy it cost just under 20 quid.

Nope.You pay for 10 months and it gives you a years no claims.I have been driving on a full licence for 17 months yet i have 2 years no claims.It means that my renewal comes up every 10 months instead of 12.In some cases it can be cheaper to do it over 10 months as opposed to 12 months.In August i will have 3 years no claims no claims but only been driving for 2 years 5 months.The 10 month one has the same specs as the 12 month one...also i opted for a months payment break which means that one month is spread over the other 9 months..so i make 9 payments instead of 10.

Car insurance now sorted, stuck with diamond who practically matched a quote i received from Hastings.Fully comp, breakdown, legal etc. 9 payments of 51 quid a month as i get a payment break in february. :blink: Im happy with it. (10 month bonus accelerator plan)

Blimey..if they guy is baffled, and isnt sure that a replaced throttle body will cure it..its going to cost you a shed load of money till he gets to the bottom of it..It may be worth calling the peeps SK suggested and see what they say.

Yupp.....mind, knowing where it is in an atlas and getting there are two completely different things. :blink: :D Ah well..gotta fix me motor before i can go driveabout again :lol:

Ahhhh..umm..ang on whilst i looksie in my atlas.........ok..know where it is now. :lol:
