it just had a full service plus all the filters but if i change to 5w 40 will change the filter again just to be sure

i had put 10w 40 semi synthetic in but found the handbook and it states 5w 40 and thats i think fully synthetic so i would need to change the oil filter to i am only doing this as i did an oil change a couple o hundred miles ago and the warning stop oil pressure check oil came up on the dash so i thought maybe wrong oil or maybe the oil pressure sensor any idea to where that is situated so i can get a part number of it thanks again

thanks should it be synthetic or semi as the 5w 40 is fully synthetic and the 10w 40 was semi synthetic

anybody have any ideas

so am down to the last few jobs on my mk2 2.8 ghia auto,engine has a small misfire so decided to change the spark plugs but they are well rusted in how do i get them out without breaking ,i thought soak them for a day in wd40( is there a better penetrating oil ) and then take it up to temp and try and slowly try to crack them open or has anybody got a better idea.I had the the car at a mechanic friend and he didnt want to touch for fear of breaking them cheers Iain

i think in my opinion the standard alloys look nicer

I've had my galaxy mk1 for about 6 years and the airbag light has been on the whole time and have had no problems

I had similar problems on my mk1 galaxy it turned out to be an ecu module in the well under the passenger seat .if you look under the front passenger seat theres a sliding panel pull it out and you should see an ecu module,i think it controls central locking maybe even windows as they seem to be linked in some way .On mine water had got in under the seat and got into the module easy peesy to replace i managed to get a second hand one on ebay for £25 .i opened up the old one and gave it a clean but the inside had to much water damage (had oxidised) hope this helps
