Thanks for yor response mat, will check floor and filter, however my rear washer jet works fine and the missus hasnt complained about wet feet yet :) AS for the vents, when the windscreen works nothing comes out of any of the side vents. the fixed grill, or the adjustableone or even the Slit vent by the small quarter panle at each side of the dash. If they work on yours I geuss theres a problem here I need to look further into. Will update formum when weather leaves off long enough for me to get active :) Thanks again.

ok, Total novice here. I have a MK2 galaxy 1.9TDi. (Thats as far as my knowledge goes). I have a ventilation issue that doesnt seem to exist with other owners of Galaxys that I know. The vents work on all 4 speeds, 1 + 2 are weak and ineffective, I need the vents on 3 or 4 to run any level of demist. If I have it on vents instead of windscreen in cold wet weather the windscreen mists up, If I have it on windscreen the side windows mist up. Now I know that there is a resistor behind the glove box that I can replace but before I do would the experts out there. (Thats everyone here compared to me) suggest anything else that might cause this? Is there a way to get both windscreen and side vents working at the same time or should they already. Hoping someone can help as I got made redundant last year and although I am now working again money is too tight to get a garage to investigate and I didnt win the lottery so cant afford Ford. Heres hoping John

Apologies for the late response but shortly after posting this family issues pulled me away from home. I dont have VC and am in Swindon. and the fast idle sounds about right. I will try and see if I can find somewhere in swindon with VC that isnt too expensive. Many thanks for advice.

Bit of extra info: Car is 03 LX TDI 1.9 this is the diesel version so I understand that the coil light is also the Engine management light. Vehicule has done 125K Any help gratefully appreciated.

hi, hope someone can help me this is a wierd fault. whilst driving along the motorway the ignition coil light flashes and I loose power, pressing the accelerator does nothing. I pull to the hard shoulder. Turn off the engine and then restart and the fault is gone. This doesnt happen every time but has happenned now enough for me to start to worry about it. Basically loss of power until car stops moving and engine is switched off and on again. Hope someone can help because I am being quoted some really silly prices for an investigation to find the cause, no garage is willing to commit to what it can be without an exhaustive expensive search. Heres hoping you guru's can help.....
