I'm probably being a little lazy in not trying the main dealer first, but with past experience on here some parts can be available from VW and not Ford. Basically what I want are some of the smaller levers that break of the rear side of the back seats, the one that you use to lift the seat up to remove it rather than using the pull cord under the back of the seat. Are these available from anywhere?

Mk2 Loss Of Hydraulic Brake Assist Downhill?
muffking replied to muffking's topic in Ford Galaxy Technical Section MK I MK II
Nailed that fault in one :-) Nice one Chris. I've just traced the pipe along to a plastic elbow on the head and the hose has split where it joins the elbow. I've jubilee cliped it for tonight but will cut it back and rejoin it properly in the week. Magners was it :-D -
The missus complained of losing power in the brakes going downhill this week so I drove the car for a while and it seemed fine, but twice when reversing uphill into the driveway I lost the hydraulic brake assist and had to brake hard to get the brakes to work and pumping the brake pedal didn't change it. I've checked the fluid level to see if the slant was allowing air into the resivoir pipe, but the level is plenty high enough and the problem doesn't occur on level roads. Any ideas as I'll be on hills all this coming week so I'm on gaurd.

Job done. I'll PM you my details.

Basically the trial version of the software (in the link) allows you to scan for faults and reset the warning lights, but to do the indepth stuff you need to pay for the licence to activate it. I've just had a PM from gregers expressing his interest. So far he has 1st dibbs if he repies to that effect on here, but keep looking in the meantime and I'll keep the thread up to update to let everyone know when it's sold.

I'm giving first refusal on here for my VAG COM serial lead as used with the RossTech software at http://www.ross-tech.net/vag-com/download/...elease4091s.exe to clear my airbag light and check & clear other fault codes on my Mk2 Galaxy. This will of course work on all Mk2 variations of Sharan, Alhambra & Galaxy, probably also the the Mk1, but not the new Mk3. First

As the missus is selling her '52 16v Ghia I can't buy this, but it's a steal. See PDF page 23 LOT561. Auction starts March 25th so plenty of time to register for a bargain. https://www.smaleeds.co.uk/dvla/secure/down...dencote-cat.pdf

Wanted A Dark Blue Mettalic , Rear N/s Door Mk1
muffking replied to jamesey's topic in Cars and auto related items.
Im after one in dark blue for the n/s/r of my MK2 also :16: -
Finally after almost a year & half of living with faulty central locking I finally managed to solve the problem. As the weather was good today I decided to read through all the old posts about central locking not working and despite having already changed the motor in the drivers door and decided to try looking for the control module. I originally thought it was the module under the passengar seat, but after translating the German writing it had via the internet it turned out to be the. The red/white wie had totally parking sensor module, so I stripped the drivers dash area around the fuse box as the information on here suggested that the Mk2's central locking control module is supposed to be inside the drivers lower A-post, no luck there either. My next thought was that as I then had access to the loom that goes through the A post to the drivers door was to try NickP's thoughts about faulty wiring........ and bvgger me I found a broken wire right inside the rubber grommet leading to the door itself. There was a red wire with a white stripe that had a clean cut straight through it. In fact there were at least 3 other wires which had cuts in them, so I soldered a patch wire between the broken one & put it all back together. Now all my doors lock from the remote again & my windows go back up when I turn the key in the door [one very happy muffking] If there is a lesson to be learned here then it is that we should take the the issue of dodgy wiring to the doors more serieously when we have electrical problems. If I'd had believed that this could have been the problem in the first place, then I would have solved this problem over a year ago & saved myself

Fitting A Ripspeed In Dash Dvd Player
muffking replied to suzuki91's topic in I.C.E (In Car Entertainment) Discussion
Nahh! just earth it like one of the others said. I fitted a Panasonic screen/headunit to my other car & earthed it directly to the radio casing so I can use mine when on the move (for sat nav).
