Available from 26th May. https://haynes.co.uk/catalog/car-manuals/car-repair-manuals/ford/ford-s-max-galaxy-diesel-mar-06-july-15-06-15 If you pre-order the physical manual you will need to do so via telephone or by posting them a completed order form. This will attract a delivery charge. Otherwise if you can wait until the 26th May you can order online and get free UK delivery.

That is great news It is being released 26th May to be precise. I called Haynes to pre-order and be aware that if you pre-order using the form that you download from the Haynes website, or if you pre-order over the phone you will have to pay delivery. However if you order online you get free UK delivery. Unfortunately you cannot pre-order online...

So good news, I figured it out. It seems when I took the light cover off it brings down the rocker switch too. The switch is just a two prongs of coper which inside slide across some contacts to switch between the three modes. It seems that in my haste to remove the cover / switch I bent one of the prongs, widening the gap and as a result causing to to constantly contact the live, always on power even when it was supposed to be on the auto-off setting. Pushing the prongs back closer to each other did the trick. Btw, the LED interior light looks super. rather than the dim glow from the little W5W bulb it has a nice white light covering the dash and centre console. Mystery solved...

I have a real puzzler here. I tried changing the interior bulb in my MKIII 2008 1.8 TDCi LX to upgrade it to an LED bulb which was a like-for-like swap. It fitted perfectly and worked like a charm, until I realised that now the Auto off feature does not work. With the switch in the middle even after staring the ignition it doesn't turn off. I can manually turn it off and of course the always on works, but I'll be darned if I can't get it to turn off automatically. It isn't a door that isn't closed properly. I changed the bulb back to the original T10 501 W5W bulb that I had removed and tested it. Turns on ok and turns off manually but not the auto off. The other two interior lights (row 2 and 3) work fine as they should. I actually suspect it could be an issue with the switch rather than due to changing the bulb but I have not looked to see if I can dismantle it. Anyone have any suggestions what could be causing it?

If you don't have a Fast-Fit near you (they are not Nationwide) then the larger Kwik-Fit garages also do 4 wheel alignment. I am not a massive fan of Kwik-Fit as they can be more pricey, but on my previous MPV (Hyundai Trajet) they were the only place that could ever align the wheels correctly. If they find there is no alignment needed they won't charge you as I found out recently.

Ah, that explains the utter lack of finding one. Thanks for the link. Great to see the various parts in detail with original part numbers too. I wait in anticipation for Haynes, or someone to track something down that accidentally on purpose fell out of a window at Ford...

Hi All, I am new on here as I just bought my first Galaxy. It is a 2008 1.8 tdci LX My apologies of this is not the right place to post. I could not find any reference to this anywhere in the forums. So far it is a great car, but I would like to find a workshop / repair / service manual for it. Haynes do not do one (correct me if I am wrong) so can anyone point me in the right direction? Cheers!
