Thanks Searcher

after the patten belt was fitted it was fine for a week, when I took it back he checked it over with me there and the belt did seem ok. I suggested the ford belt and they fitted it for nowt and that was also ok for a while. Even now the belt seems ok. Just cant work out why its ok for a while then the problem returns

Hi, I have a 1.9td 130 bhp Galaxy with 55k on the clock. At last service I asked the garage to change the aux belt & tensioner as the tensioner was making a noise and seemed to be jumping about. All was ok for a week or so and then the same problem came back. The garage had fitted the tensioner but said the belt was a patent part and MAY have been substandard so I brought another belt from Ford direct. The ford belt was fitted and the car was ok for about 2 weeks and then the problem came back again!. The problem is noticable at low rpm when the power steering is used (eg. when parking etc). Any ideas ? Thanks

Hi, Mrs has a 2002 1.6 zetec focus thats done 29k miles and every now and then the engine 'hunts' on tickover, up & down from 700 to 1500 rpm. Any ideas ? Thanks Pete

Thanks. Have now amended profile :lol: Brought Galaxy from it's first owner about 20 months ago, it's now done 25K'ish. Just had new front tyres this month and roll bars changed due to knocking noise. It's been a good car so far.

No idea. Mrs drove it to work where it sat in the carpark all day. When she went to go home the remote key wouldnt open the door, after manualy using the key to open the doors she noticed thet the indicators wern't working.

Thanks for your reply, changed the 3 amp fuse, all now OK. Appreciate your help.

Hi, The Mrs went to use the car yesterday but it wouldnt unlock with the remote key, put key in drivers door to unlock it. Now the remote key doesnt work and neither do the indicators, if we use the key in the door it doent open any of the other doors. Any ideas ? Thanks
