Love it!!!!! :unsure:

Have you ever wondered why A, B, C, D, DD, E, F and G are the letters used to define bra sizes? If you have wondered why, but couldn't figure out what the letters stood for... It is about time you became informed! {A} - Almost Boobs... {B} - Barely there. {C} - Can't Complain! {D} - Damn! {DD} - Double damn! {E} - Enormous! {G} - GEEEEzus Christ! {F} - Fake.

Yep agree with you there matey ...... just noticed they've started to fit them to Kia's as a mate of mine has just bought a Sorento with one fitted ... that'll double it's value! ....lol

Thats fifteen quid I owe you ! ............ doh :wub:

I reckon the air con not working is your problem as moisture from the interior of the car isn't being removed by the moisture separator. A lot of peeps think that the air con is just for blowing cold air but during winter it is used even more for the purpose previously mentioned. You mention that the car never really warms up ..... is your booster heater working as that could be the cause of lack of heat due to the engine being very efficient and not producing enough waste heat to warm the interior up?

Hi from me too Jason ........... I've seen some very smart ones knocking around ........ (usually 2.0L petrols with the big ends gone ...lol) Just remember to share any mods with other members (including piccies). Look forward to your posts matey.

Glad you all had a good time Ady .......... nice warm heated seat .....yus! ....... Very nice feeling to when you fart on one ................ :D

Spark on a diesel???? ........... good mechanic then! Immobiliser's a good start (excuse the pun) as already suggested. Did he have any running problems before it started playing up?

http://www.fordgalaxy.org.uk/ford/index.ph...0310&hl=VNT Have a look at the above post gents paying particular attention to the VNT mechanism. This is controlled by the Boost Control Solenoid (N75 valve). Check the rubber pipes from the solenoid to the VNT diaphragm and also to a fuel type filter at the end of another one of these pipes. The filter is located on the drivers side bulkhead behind the MAF area. Turbo's should not whine and if they do it's more than likely indicating a potential bearing failure. The turbo should kick in at 1300 RPM.

You won't need any luck matey ..... top hospital! ......... Just take things gentle when you've had the OP. Look forward to hearing from you when you get home. Chris

Hello Kev ....... some of the previous comments a little informal for me so I'll try and welcome you properly. ................ nah!!!!!!! Only kidding really ............. Watch out for the "trannies" on here matey ......... and if you don't know what they are................. ask yer Dad, she knows!

If the "boost valve" is a bypass valve, dump valve, wastegate, etc. then it suggests that you have a 90bhp engine. The 110bhp engine was fitted with a variable nozzle turbocharger so there wouldn't be a bypass valve. The safest way to identify it though, is to find the engine number stamped on the block (AHU=90, AFN=110). This sounds to me as though the Boost Control Solenoid (N75) is causing your VNT mechanism not to work. When he mentions attenuator I assume he is talking about the VNT actuator which physically moves the vanes in the turbo which adjusts the amount of pressure. It is common for the VNT mechanism to stick and also the vacuum pipe to the VNT diaphagm to perish. Again like Insider suggested, you need to find out what engine is fitted to yours. Basically if it is the type fitted with the Variable vane turbo you're looking at

Done

Yep ..if you look at the FAQ's you'll see a link which will show you how to. Give em a good yank and you'll see the problem I reckon.

Gents ...sounds to me as though people are having problems with either glow plugs, metering pumps or they need to be removed and de-coked. There is a good post on removing the booster heater and changing the glow plug somewhere on here. Good luck.

Hi Duncan and welcome to the forum. You'll notice that there are a number of areas that this forum covers and some of the members on here are either "Professors" or "Politicians" so when it comes to any questions, you'll get an answer. Your rattles ....... mmm........I had an annoying rattle on mine which turned out to be the Anti rollbar drop links (ARBDL). Now sorted after a good search in the FAQ's.

Welcome from me to Unlob ..... mmmmmm ...that's a catchy nickname. Sounds like something that has gone limp? :ph34r: ...... Enjoy the forum and look forward to your posts ..... :2:

Tips ......mmmm...just enjoy yourself and you won't need any Durex because the whole nation has already been f****d by one Johnny! Whoops!

Pink?!!!!! ......... Don't bother they don't allow women to drive them ...lol ..... What do you think ST means?

Sounds to me as though they're getting confused with the 6000CD fitted to the Mondeo which does have the socket in the upper spec models. I have a Ghia and there isn't an aux socket in the glovebox I can assure you. The best person to speak to with regard to the wiring is steve67. Try sending him a pm. You can always try an FM transmitter that you plug into the headphone socket of the DVD player and tune the radio into it ..... Hope this helps... I had a 6000CD in my old Mondeo and I'm certain that had an AUX on/off setting in the menu so I assume there will be an AUX IN on the main connector.

Oooooohhhhh ....... PROPER cars ..... That Mexico must have been awesome. I had a Mk1 Escort with flared wheel arches and 1100 engine ..... never went anywhere cos I couln't afford the wheels ...lol. I must admit though, if I saw a Mk4 2.3 Cortina today I'd have it just like that. Seen what I'm buying now 28i? ...hee hee

Sorry Ady ....... nice innit?

Stuart ..... welcome to the forum and sorry to hear about your scrape ..... I think you answered your own question there matey. Have a look at your warranty because I'm pretty sure it will have to be done by a "Fraud" approved body shop.

Ladies and Gents ........... Have decided to part-ex my lovely Gal for one of these: A Mondeo ST TDCI in performance blue Furrows of Shrewsbury offered me

Many Happy Returns of the day Mumof4!!!!! :D ...... Wish I was 34 again! Have a good day and remember to book a hair appointment ....doh :D
