welcome to the forum... isnt it norty to drive with no speedo working??

And how many times did you go round the roundabout to get them pics?! :lol: :lol: :lol:

you should have told us this at the beginning. :31: disconnect the battery for 15 mins and it should go.

Soo..you are now saying that the oil warning was on?????????..this is the light you were on about?? the oil warning is an oil can.It means you need oil.put oil in her..if the light stays on then disconnect the battery. He means the oil level sensor..they cost 65 quid from fords. On the MKII depending on what comes up it could be oil pressure also. also..can you please stop useing text speak??makes it harder to understand and not everyone understands it. on the MKII you will get a service now along with a beep to let you know that it needs a service.0 miles means it needs doing now. Im getting confused with all that you are saying.. it helps if you put all the info in one post like that you knew that the oil light was showing.

Ah well....lot on my mind at the mo.

ahh..more details!!...did you do all that yourself or a garage??

where did the LX come from then????????? :31: not bad..LX to TDi.. you have an engine management problem..its not the service now you have a problem with..summit is wrong with your car.

Its telling you that the car is due a service...If the car has been serviced recently then the garage should have reset it.Try disconnectiong the battery for 15 mins and see if that resets it..might do..might not.If you do this then have the keycode for the radio. Are you saying the engine management light is on constantly??..Hmm..IIRC..that does not stay on for a service due... init???..translated as isnt it??

oh believe me i would stick with the veccy...if i was given a MKIII and bought some flowers...it would look like a hearse! mind..i could flog it and buy a MKII!! :31:

There is loads in the MKIII section that nik has moved this topic to....the new gal is having a lot of issues!!.Look through the section and have a read.

This article caught my eye in more ways than one... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/arti...in_page_id=1774 to be honest, i dont think children should be vaccinated against it even though my son had a nasty case of it when he was younger and my two youngest girls have had shingles..but the main thing that caught my eye was this bit.. The Government has also given the go-ahead to a vaccine against the HPV virus which can cause cervical cancer in later life. This should be, i have been researching a lot into this and other things for the past few days.

I still think somethings knocking...start simple then work up.

Id stick with the veccy!!!!..now if it was a MKII Ghia with all the toys... :31:

Ok ok..2 things.....but i still dont like the shape of it..or the interior..or the seats..or the handbrake....... :31:

You're not thrashing it enough ! oh she has been thrashed..believe me.. :31:

Topics merged.

Now the point of this thread is to lie about others..not yourself Kev.... :31:

Welcome Andy, you can post any probs in the trainee section untill you have done a few posts then you can post anywhere and view everything..all explained in the trainee section. Enjoy your incarceration here. :lol:

Welcome.What model/year Galaxy are you buying off your collegue?

sounds a bit like my veccy did..was the down pipe not quite aligned on mine and had to be shifted across an inch. it could be a loose heat shield......check all the way along the exhaust system from the very front under the car to the very end at the rear..check it when the car is cold is a hot exhaust burns as i found out.try moving the exhaust system...does it touch anything if it does??..check everything in the vicinity..i can only advise on how i checked my veccy as i never checked the exhaust system on the Gal. you can try getting the car up on ramps and putting her on idle and have a look under to see if you can identify where it is coming from..get someone to rev it aswell whilst you are under..,but i wouldnt touch anything if you do this and please take all safety precautions! this is all what i would do if it were my gal. is it def coming from underneath??..mind you did say it was quieter at the front so cant be engine bay related.

Check the exhaust pipes..see if there is anything tapping against the exhaust when the car is running...check the whole thing....When the car is cold..get underneath and have a good look all along and see if the exhaust moves at all.

No. I am mumof4. Bigkev really is not who he seems to be..in reality he is a 4 foot 2 and half inch dwarf who has always wanted to star as one of the umpa lumpas in Charlie and the chocolate factory.But he is an inch too tall.

well..in a way it is true.Ive had 6 kids and the 4 i have now do empty the cupboards a bit.LOL Gregers is hiding alot underneath his oh so witty charm, in reality like his sig says he likes to wear pink.In secret he also likes to try on his partners underwear and dreams of being able to model for Playboy. :31: :lol:

Ahh..but how did you feel when you turned the key and she worked??apart from bloody relieved.LOL. Well done to you ade.Hope you feel the satisfaction of a job well done after all that!
