My wife has a 1999 galaxy that she is scrapping for a new car. It was previously owned by Ford and has, T4 FMC registration number is anyone interested in buying it ?.

17/02/06 PROBLEM SOLVED. Just had a visit from local auto electrician. Dry joint on relay 30. I would have thought Ford would have changed this relay when they changed the fuel pump relay. I did say the problem was intermittent. Happy days. :rolleyes:

Hi My Galaxy has recently developed starting problems. It has been into the Ford dealer and they changed the starter switch and a relay on the fuel pump. These were shown as faulty on the diagnostics. I did tell them the immobiliser light on the drivers door flashed intermittently but I think they chose to ignore that. This morning 12/02/06 the car fails to start at all. The engine turns, but the immobiliser light on the drivers door is flashing like crazy. I have tried both keys but the light is still flashing. Does anybody have any ideas ?.

At last, someone on my wavelength. Well said Busman.

Oops !. Sorry if I upset the diesel lovers out there. But I only asked a simple question about the MPG for a 2.3 petrol engine. It was only a snide remark from a so called advanced member that prompted my remark about 'oil burners'. If I had wanted the MPG for a diesel engine I would have asked for it. As regards to the choice of petrol or diesel it must always be down to personal preference. Just three more things: a) Anyone who chooses a BMW diesel over a Porsche (628 or 911 ) must have water in their veins. :blink: My first car is a Corolla T Sport (190 BHP) I can get 40MPG in this, as long as I stay away from the rev limiter. My wife can get 30 easily?. The Galaxy is for relaxing in and going to the coast with family and the dogs, and carrying things that don't fit in the Corolla c) I drive a diesel for work and it sounds like a 'bag of spanners in a washing machine', admittedly a good washing machine. BFN

:( Not at all. Cost wasn't the issue. I just wanted a guestimate of the MPG !!!!!. I have never been a fan of oil burners.

Hi I have just bought a 1999 2.3 Ghiax. Does anyone know what sort of mpg I can expect ?.
