Might seem a daft queston at this stage - I also had this problem and couldn't figure out which bulb had gone - then I realised that there are two rear driving lights on each side, one of these had gone - not apparent at first glance that the bulb had failed, but on close inspection the driving light on one side was slightly wider than the other!!!!!

'Cathy' post='73990' date='Aug 15 2006, 16:23:43' either she's died or sold the car by now! either way the new batteries in the remote are most likely flat by now Still here - alive and kicking :P - remote still doesn't work though :D I haven't been able to find a friend..... sorry a friend with a galaxy of a similar age so I can check their remote on my car. :D I think I am destined to open the dors with the key - great in all this rain :D

Find the engine number - it is printed on your V5 registration doc. 1st letters denote engine fitted 1Z = 90ps (EuroII) AHU = 90ps (EuroIII) AFN = 110ps This doesn't work for mine - My VIN no starts WFO and the engine number starts WU

Yes, collective noun you are looking for is an "unhelpfulness" of drunk bystanders, erhaps?

Going to rush out and check mine now - I have had the same problem!!!! :rolleyes:

9.2p a mile What 130+ MPG - never! :D

Consett :D what do you call yourself in consett?consettians? I know some girls from Consett. I think the correct word is ROUGH ! Is that rough or woof - they're all barking up here!!!!!

Consett ;) what do you call yourself in consett?consettians? Consettinas?!?! :) Not too sure, only lived here for 17 years so not classed as a "local" yet - previously from Stockport Gtr Manchester!

Nope - mine are electric - tee hee :rolleyes:

Sorry MO4 it resets to default values when ignition is switched off. The intermittant wipe on the Gal is the best idea ive seen, same as my deceased Fiesta, when screen needs wiping switch it back on and you have perfect setting. Clever these Ford fellas :rolleyes: I quite like the way the intermittant wipers work too B)

Yes, quite an ommision! :)

Consett :)

B ) Vehicles from 05 96 onwards 1. Close all the vehicle doors. 2. Note: Make sure the door lock cylinder is held in the unlock position for more than 0.5 seconds. Insert the key into the driver door lock cylinder and turn the key from the rest position to the unlock position three times within five seconds. 3. The door lock light emitting diodes (LED)s will illuminate for 15 seconds during the remote transmitter programming mode, allowing the remote transmitter to be programmed. 4. Remove the key from the driver door lock cylinder and aim the remote transmitter at the interior rear view mirror. 5. Press and hold the LOCK button on the remote transmitter. 6. While holding the LOCK button down, press the UNLOCK button three times on the remote transmitter. 7. Release both buttons simultaneously. 8. Make sure the door lock LEDs flash five times, confirming that the remote transmitter has been programmed. I have tried all the above on mine, and althuogh all seems ok down to point 8 - my LED on the car doesn't flash, but the LED on the remote does. I still can't open door remotely - any ideas what I am doing wrong?

SNAP! I have the same knob!!!!

Yeh - I have the same problem as Vanbursta - can't reset the remote locking. I have tried everything on Nikp V's post and still doesn't work - any further ideas what might be wrong?

Hi My log book states Ghia X - can't help you with the insurance quote sites though! I do however know some are wrong!

I currently own two Galaxy's - a 1998 2.0l Aspen and a 1998 TDi Ghia X. ;) If you can find one - go for the diesel. :blink: The ecomony is far greater, at least on mine. The petrol returns around 25 MPG, :blink: whereas the diesel averages 40MPG :blink: - even better on a run up the motorway, on a recent business trip, I ran for 650 miles without fillig up, at an average MPG of 46 MPG - for a big car that's fantastic. :blink: Hope you enjoy the galaxy as much as my kids and I enjoy ours! :blink: Cathy
