Don't know where you are in the country but Wheels UK in Coventry offer a refurb service.

There are some fantastic "live data" OBD2 apps available on android for very little money and for free!! All you will need is a bluetooth OBD plug which are available on ebay for £15 - £20! These also work as diagnostics tools to get trouble code data if the engine management light is on and allows you to reset the light if required!! Handy tool if you ask me!!

Replace the bulb with an amber bulb.

Give it a run and plug it in again. If both codes come back up then replace both the sensors. Another posibility is that the timing is out. That would account for the rough running and the face the cam sensor in not in sync with the crank sensor.

Haha!! Sounds like you had fun fitting it!! Looking very nice sitting there just remember to keep your eyes on the road!! ;)

Hello all. I have decided to start a thread about my much loved 2002 Mk2 Galaxy 2.3 Zetec. I bought the car with a few interior modifications that I'll list below and have done a few bits to it since I got it. Body: Standard at the moment but I have found a little rust on the O/S/R where the arch meets the sill. I have this booked into the body shop next month to be repaired but am thinking of having the black bumper and door strips colour coded along with the door and boot handle. Also need to replace the ford badges at some point and am toying with the idea of fitting some front bumper corner skirts, side skirts and doing something with the rear bumper although not sure what yet. I would also like to strip the headlights down and paint the insides black if this is possible. Wheels & Tyres: Standard wheels at the moment running 205/55x16 Winter tyres. I would like to leave the winter tyres on these rims and fit a set of 18" Audi wheels with 235/45x18 tyres if I can find some at the right price. (Really cheep or free) ;) Suspension: Again standard but if I fit 18's, I will be lowering by 60mm with a set of springs. Ice: Eonon D3103 drop down 15" DVD player for the rear passengers Sony Xplod Bluetooth Head unit that links to my Samsung Galaxy S2 that holds all my music and also allows me to streem music directly into the car using Sound Cloud. Blaupunkt CMS 266 Active twin 8" Subwoofer I have recently had the 2 front suspension top mounts and the O/S/F wheel bearing replaced which has made a huge difference to the car. Air conditioning needs looking at due to not working. the compressor was replaced 2 years ago and re gassed so need to have a proper look. Parking sensors not working. This could be due to the way the twin electrics on the towbar sit but will test the sensors individually as and when I get some time. Have been having a problem with the Eonon DVD player which a friend of mine is fixing for me at the moment so currently got the head lining out (pig of a job) and have only just got the Blaupunkt sub so will be wiring that in at the same time as I refit the interior of the car. I will be back here with further updates as and when more work is done to the car. I love this car and it is the 1st car I have paid almost the going price for ever so I intend to keep this car in the best possible condition it can be!! :)

Hello and welcome

Just WOW!! I was in the motor trade as a Service Manager for many years and DAMN!! I could talk my way out of a fight in a boxing ring but even I couldn't justify those costs!!

A better option may be to buy a facia adaptor and fit any single din head unit with a jack port on the face. I have all my tunes on my phone and play them though my sony xplod head unit with bluetooth. Once paired, will automaticly pair everytime you turn the key and will also work as a hands free. The facia plate is about £10 on ebay and you could pick up a head unit with aux port second hand for as little as £30. The sound quality will also be greatly improved as the ford head unit built in amp is very low powered but an aftermarket head unit is normally 4x50w or there abouts so much less distortion and a crisper sound.

I have just purchased (for only £10 I should add) a Blaupunkt CMS 266 8" active sub. I already have a Sony Xplod head unit with bluetooth that I link my phone too and streem a lot of trance music through Sound Cloud. The quality of the standard speakers is very good indeed but a little lacking in the lower frequencies hence the want for the sub. Has anyone here had any experience of the Blaupunkt or the more common Velocity VRS 8a (same sub renamed) My car also has a Eonon D3103 15" drop down tv fitted so that should also give much better surround sound while watching movies. I will keep you all posted as to how it sounds when fitted!

There is a company called Morette who manufacture the twin headlamp conversion kit. This company have been going for years and are the best at what they do.

Yup!! Pretty sure the top mounts are gone!! I jacked it up and the top of the strut feels like it's loose. It moves backwards and forwards about 5mm either way. Checked the top nut and thats tight.

I have a similar noise on mine and have found the front top mounts have had it. I have found a poly bush replacement by floflex on ebay for about £35 so will be fitting these soon. I'll let you know how they do!!

Get it done!! Would be nice to see something a bit different done and I do like the 2.3 engine

Nice looking rims there!! I'd like to get 18's fitted to mine and get it dropped by 60mm but so many other things to pay for at the moment including moving house. Ah well, maybe next year!! ;)
