Tailgate Adjustment
viperclive replied to chrislloydie's topic in Ford Galaxy Technical Section MK I MK II
I had same problem, car started doing what it wanted to, opening windows and rear door not opening with central locking, as gregers recommends check all wiring inside rubber boots between doors and car body, they break/short n cause hell! -
Brake Master Cylinder
viperclive replied to t-aslam's topic in Ford Galaxy Technical Section MK I MK II
Now I'm going back a few years, but after topping up, put a piece of cling film/polythene over hole then screw cap on, this should stop fluid leaking out while you manouver into place, remove on completion. -

Knock From F/os Suspension
viperclive replied to JohnPic's topic in Ford Galaxy Technical Section MK I MK II
Also rear bush in wishbone has a tendency to split and part, allowing wishbone to whip up and down on bumps within fixing recess. You get a good rattle when that happens. -
I have a mk1 2.3 petrol, oil I believe should be 5w-30, but is that full synthetic or part, tried to find on forum with no luck.

viperclive replied to julian95's topic in Ford Galaxy Technical Section MK I MK II
The coil packs are pain, always going, got now to the stage of carrying a spare one, also plugs, ht leads under driving seat. -
Change roll restrictor bushes, they may look ok but go hard and you can get knocking, also check wishbone rear bush as they are prone to part alowing the wishbone to whip up n down again knocking.

Lower Engine Stabilizer
viperclive replied to chrislloydie's topic in Ford Galaxy Technical Section MK I MK II
I replaced all three engine mounts on my mk1 2.3 and still had snatching/engine movement so was not happy, I removed the bottom one and decided to put some small bolts through the holes in rear bush with a washer on each end tightened up to make rubber swell, that was two years ago and solved my problem. -
Loss Of Power To The Ignition!
viperclive replied to carlburt's topic in Ford Galaxy Technical Section MK I MK II
If power was intermitant to the fuse panel you would hear relays making and breaking, although crimps on leads that connect to battery may look ok inside may be a different case, I had a problem where I lost window wipers, it took a while to find but was found to be crimp on end of cable, a good squeeze with mole grips did a temp repair, later removed and did proper solder job. -
