Got the call from the garage! Just as you said Bigdaddy! The brake light switch!!!!! Now how much do you think for finding the fault and supplying and fitting the part?

I so hope it is something as simple as that, But it will be interesting to see what they come up with at the garage.... I put a new brake bulb in about 2 week ago, could it be faulty?

As the brake failure light was intermittent, I've never actually checked any bulbs while it was illuminated. Perhaps it would have been best to check (now you mention it) can't all have brains, some would have been nice... :rolleyes: But all the lights do work when its not!

The Galaxy's gone to CD Bramell's (now Even's Halshaw) in Batley, Wakefield today! Has anyone any dealing with them? They were recommended to me by a Focus owner.. The reason. The 'coil' (yellow looped line) light was flashing on and off and the message 'Engine Workshop' was briefly displayed. However it was running fine at the time, no loss of power etc... Reading through a few threads on this site it became evident that it needed linking upto a computer (VAG-COM) to locate the problem.... In addtion to that the bulb failure light stays on for a while after starting up then goes out not in relation to turning lights on/off, braking etc... Could they be linked? So I wait in anticiaption of their diagnosis.......... :rolleyes: I have wrote this in 'dealer service' as they were extremely helpful when i called in yesterday to ask for advice and managed to 'squeeze' me in today. Hopefully they will maintain this good customer service while sorting out my Gal... Will they be recommended, we shall wait and see!!!

Nice one, we will see you (all?) there...

We (2 big kids and 2 little kids) will definately be there on Saturday if its still on?

15 minutes to fit.... Bit awkward to get hands in to free old grille, but it didn't require any specialist tools as everything is held in by clips. Well packaged and quick delivery from 'Ford Parts UK'...

Thanks Ex-Vec for the link to Ford Parts website, just purchased said kit from there for my 02' Galaxy. I have been trauling around looking for this facelift kit for ages. I'll be sure to let you know how fitting of it went. Anyone got any pictures of their Galaxy's cosmetic surgery?

A friend of mine uses Redex in his Passat Tdi (same engine) and he swears by it. This will be the 4th tank of diesel I've used it in.. The wife uses the petrol redex in her Puma 1.7 as well..

I'm getting about 36mpg from mine which is all stop-start urban driving.. Usually 440 miles between fill-ups. I've started to use Redex but can't see it massively affecting fuel consumption.

I put a bid in for a MFD from this Ebay seller the other day! Luckily as it turns out, I was outbid, think I'll just go get a Tom Tom... :(
