The backing music gets a bit much but they say the Indian driving test is one of the easiest in the world?? http://www.addictinggames.com:80/bombaytaxi.html :lol: Andy.

If you want to replace them people have found them to be cheaper from Fords than on Ebay. :rolleyes: Andy.

Might be worth reading this thread: http://www.fordgalaxy.org.uk/ford/index.php?showtopic=13224 It sounds as though you could have issues with security if you enable the opening of the rear quarter vents. :rolleyes: Andy.

Hi Michael, looking at the Ford website all New C-max should come with electric front windows on both sides with the Titanium getting electric rears and global closing as well. This is the same for Mk1's with the Ghia getting the electric rears so, in theory, all models should have the wiring for the switches. On the subject of differing wiring looms, I looked into the feasability of adding the Ghia door mirrors, with indicators and puddle lights , to my Zetec but this would of required a new wiring loom and control modules to be fitted inside the doors. IIRC the sensitivity of the reversing sensors is adjustable via Ford's equivalent of Vag-Com. :rolleyes: Andy.

Would front mud flaps still fit?

Brochure quoted figures of kerbweight for Mk2, between 1669 and 1724 kgs, Ditto for Mk3, between 1737 and 1829 kgs, ;) Andy.

Working people frequently ask retired people what they do to make their days interesting. Well, for example, the other day I went into town to do some shopping. I was in a shop for about 5 minutes and when I came out there was a cop writing out a parking ticket. I said to him, "Come on, man, how about giving a retired person a break?" He ignored me and continued writing the ticket. I called him a "Nazi." He glared at me and wrote another ticket for having worn tyres. So I called him a "doughnut eating Gestapo." He finished the second ticket and put it on the windscreen with the first. Then he wrote a third ticket. This went on for about 20 minutes. The more I abused him the more tickets he wrote. Personally, I didn't care. I came into town on the bus, and the car that he was putting the tickets on had a bumper sticker that said "Red Ken Rules." I try to have a little fun each day now that I'm retired. It's important to my health.

Do you know all the OLD Beckham jokes then? ;) :P :D Andy.

Who sometimes works with QUINTEN Wilson.........got it now Bleeno? :blink: Andy.

Read this thread and most should be explained: http://www.fordgalaxy.org.uk/ford/index.ph...=13843&st=0 Andy.

This topic/problem was discussed in depth in the now defunct Maverick section that used to be part of the site, any chance of getting it back?? :blink: Andy.

Two tall trees, a birch and a beech, are growing in the woods. A small tree begins to grow between them, and the beech says to the birch, 'Is that a son of a beech or a son of a birch?' The birch says he cannot tell. Just then a woodpecker lands on the sapling.The birch says, 'Woodpecker, you are a tree expert. Can you tell if that is a son of a beech or a son of a birch? 'The woodpecker takes a taste of the small tree. He replies, 'It is neither a son of a beech nor a son of a birch. It is, however, the best piece of ash I have ever put my pecker in.'

You could try Norwich Union's 'Pay-as-you-Drive' insurance scheme where you only pay for the miles you do............ ................on second thoughts, perhaps thats not the best system for you :43: :) :43: :D Andy.

Airline food??? :43:

An elderly couple had dinner at another couple's house, and after eating, the wives left the table and went into the kitchen. The two gentlemen were talking, and one said, "Last night we went out to a new restaurant and it was really great. I would recommend it very highly." The other man said, "What is the name of the restaurant?" The first man thought and thought and finally said, "What is the name of that flower you give to someone you love? You know... The one that's red and has thorns." "Do you mean a rose?" "Yes, that's the one," replied the man. He then turned towards the kitchen and yelled, "Rose, what's the name of that restaurant we went to last night?"

SCHOOL ANSWERING MACHINE (This is hilarious - no wonder some people were offended!) This is the message that the Pacific Palisades High School (California) staff voted unanimously to record on their school Telephone answering machine This is the actual answering machine message for the school. This came about because they implemented a policy requiring students and parents to be responsible for their children's absences and missing homework. The school and teachers are being sued by parents who want their children's failing grades changed to passing grades - even though those children were absent 15-30 times during the semester and did not complete enough schoolwork to pass their classes. The outgoing message: "Hello! You have reached the automated answering service of your school. In order to assist you in connecting to the right staff member, please listen to all the options before making a selection: * To lie about why your child is absent - Press 1 * To make excuses for why your child did not do his work- Press 2 * To complain about what we do - Press 3 * To swear at staff members - Press 4 * To ask why you didn't get information that was already enclosed in your newsletter and several flyers mailed to you - Press 5 * If you want us to raise your child - Press 6 * If you want to reach out and touch, slap or hit someone -Press 7 * To request another teacher, for the third time this year -Press 8 * To complain about bus transportation - Press 9 * To complain about school lunches - Press 0 * If you realize this is the real world and your child must be accountable and responsible for his/her own behavior, class work, homework and that it's not the teachers' fault for your child's lack of effort: Hang up and have a nice day!

So you dont like my new alloys after all.......... :unsure: :P Andy.

IIRC all 3 of the Gals I've owned only came with a rear fog light on the off-side. In the near-side light clusters there were small plastic blanking plates blocking the hole where the bulb would go. It was easy enough to twist out the plastic bits and fit a bulb as the socket was already there. :( Andy.

As promised, picture of my C-Max now sporting S-Max Zetec alloys. Of course Mo4 will still not like them as they are also standard on Mk3 Galaxy Zetecs!!! :P What you cant see is the offside rear rapidly deflating after my other half had just driven over a screw :)!! so before we can leave for Austria in the morning I'm going to have to locate a new tyre, that'll mean a few less bottles of wine to be brought home. :2: Back in 10 days or so.

A husband and wife were having dinner at a very fine restaurant when this absolutely stunning young woman comes over to their table, gives the husband a big kiss, says she'll see him later and walks away. His wife glares at him and says, "Who the hell was that?" "Oh," replies the husband, "she's my mistress." "Well, that's the last straw," says the wife. "I've had enough, I want a divorce." "I can understand that," replies her husband, "but remember, if we get a divorce it means that you don't get any more shopping trips to Paris, no more wintering in Barbados, no more summers in Tuscany, no more Ferraris and Lexus's in the garage and no more yacht club. But the decision is yours." Just then, a mutual friend enters the restaurant with a gorgeous babe on his arm. "Who's that woman with Jim?" asks the wife. "That's his mistress," says her husband. "Ours is prettier," she replies.

A college teacher reminds her class of tomorrow's final exam. "Now class, I won't tolerate any excuses for you not being here tomorrow. I might consider a nuclear attack or a serious personal injury, illness, or a death in your immediate family, but that's it, no other excuses whatsoever!" A smart-ass guy in the back of the room raised his hand and asked, "What would you say if tomorrow I said I was suffering from complete and utter sexual exhaustion?" The entire class is reduced to laughter and snickering. When silence is restored, the teacher smiles knowingly at the student, shakes her head and sweetly says, "Well, I guess you'd have to write the exam with your other hand."

Further to your less than complimentary remark when you saw the standard alloys on my C-Max I've now replaced them with from ones from a Zetec S-Max and will post some pics. when I get a chance to clean the car. :( Andy.
