hi, have you checked ALL of the fuses, my wipers played up and a fuse for a seemingly unrelated sysytem had blown, but when replaced wipers worked again! also fuse identification card in car was wrong...???? may be worth a search on seized wipers also hope it helps

hi guys, what are the fortuna tyres like? ive got dunlop 2020 sports on mine and they dont seem to last too long! regards

hi, wiperblades.co.uk are very good, price seemed reasonable and very quick postage. i used them and they were excellent regards

hi, when my light came on the pads were fine, it was the disc that had worn, and the non worn outer edge cut through the sensor wire. the discs are crazy money from fraud but reasonable at local stockists and fairly simple to replace. regards

hello ghost try supaseal.co.uk, huge selection of circlips and stuff. give em a ring 01858 434141 hope it helps

thanks seat kid, no luck with pictures i'm afraid, i binned it out of disgust and the bin men have been...sorry. as to reason for failing...the bellows type dust/dirt seal(grey) looks to have migrated along the cylinder, toward the brake pedal. this reveals the black seal that seals the booster, enabling a vacuum to be built up, the integral o-ring seal within this had split and become detached. as to why i don't know, but dissapointingly it seems common given the number of "hissing brake pedal" posts. my advice to anyone with a hissing pedal is get it changed soonest, it's a scary experience when it finally fails.

hi guys, the brake pedal on the galaxy started to hiss about 2 weeks ago. i looked through the forum and similar posts reveal the booster to be at fault. a few days ago the seal in the booster split completely, this gives you a lovely feeling of no brakes! you still have brakes just doesn't feel like it! also the booster provides the turbo with air to move the vanes, so no turbo and dodgy brakes...yipee. time to change the booster, what a job! you have to remove the airbox, engine covers, egr valve and pipes, brake reservoir, master cylinder, and then loosen the engine mount to enable the engine to be pulled forward to jiggle the booster out, not easy!! inside the car removing the booster input rod from the brake pedal requires infinite paitence and the hands of a small child! however two very hot days later and

the fuse card and the fuses on my galaxy do not match up! it's a matter of methodically pulling and checking each one till you find the one at fault! not exactly technical i know but hey what can you do the monkey at ford put the wrong fuse card in!! regards

hi all, had to change the drop links on the galaxy today, i rang around for prices and was pleasantly surprised by the main dealer price!

hi all, if the pipe in question is aluminium on both ends with rubber in between. situated at the front of the engine bay with what look like, car tyre valve caps, then it is indeed an a/c pipe. the bad news....

err........ maybe fraud can help if you give them the vin number? try the parts desk tomorrow. your plate location is a mystery, mine is where your's isnt, if you see what i mean! stuck on the b-pillar passenger side. sorry mate running out of ideas????

hi do you have a TIS disc, it shows removal of the console with a manual gear stick. guessing auto may be the same?

the number through the windscreen is th VIN number, this contains info about when and where made etc. the VIN plate, or sticker usually lives on the passenger b-pillar. might be worth a snout under the bonnet?

hi all it is on the b pillar, the one between drivers door and rear door, low down. the sticker has lots of boxes you are interested in the 7 smaller boxes adjacent to the ford logo happy to help

ned if you ring the fraud dealer, give them the car reg, they can tell you exactly what blue you have. just a thought
