<BR>Didn't go outside today as have cold hopefully better tomorrow.will take piccy's then.<BR><BR>In answer to 2nd question Dash out 45 mins,There are 2 very awkward screws hold plastic brackets on back of dash ,access then under wipers above metal leading to scuttle tray.On dash's at scrappys have not bothered to undo just a hearty yank from facier.<BR>oh remember to unplug speaker's and heat sensor I always forget one lol.<BR><BR>heater element. <BR>There's a tubular double barrow piece of plastic that goes from heater matrix through to the engine bay which is held on by torx screws.Make sure you have a spare one if possible it saves alot of time if you cut it. Also the engine bay to heater pipes are prone to rotting so recommend have spares also you wiil need to have vagcom if you have a passenger airbag.<BR><BR><BR>Hope you cold is better - any chace of those pictires !! <BR> -
Hi any one got the TIS for a MKIII - I have an 07 model - need to know where the right hand heated windscreen connection is - have taken a look outside under the bonnet but its not obvious need to know how to remove MKIII gutter to get at where it connects to screen whole drivers sides has failed - fuses ok - relay covers both sides so its not that - must be either the connection or the whole element thanks in advance

Hi all is there a way of swapping over which wiper moves first - the way they are configed on my 07 MKIII is that the passenger side gets the last wipe - hence leaving the arc across the drivers side - it would be good if the passenger side parked first and then the last wipe was on the drivers side leaving a clearer view for the driver Thanks in advance

Where Is The Obd Connector On A Mkiii
fclauson replied to fclauson's topic in MKIII Technical section
Found it - pull out the "money tray" and the socket is above behind a little cover Second dumb question - where can I get the right s/w to communicate with the car ? -
Done a good search of both the internet and this site - cannot locate where the OBD cable pugs in on a MKIII - 2007 Please advise
-
quick tip - if you have Vista - you can always build a virtual machine of XP - go to either www.vmware.com - check out vmware player - this will allow you to build a machine within a machine very hand for any kind of testing of s/w etc

Hi all - I know the parking sensor module is under the front passangers seat - but does some one have a photo of it and how you "gently" lift carpet to get to it Need to take a look - got the old "beep" for 6 seconds on stary up and then nothing - i.e. module propably suspect - not worth checking "ticking" sensors as I think the hole system is defunct Car is a Galaxy 1.8 TD Ghia on July 2007

Any one got a spare cover for the "locker" on the dash in front of the clock SWMBO managed to exceed the storage allowance of the locker but still managed to close the lid - thus the left hand hinge said "thats it I'm breaking" - it still works but is annoying Anyone fitted a GPS or similar and thus has this lid going spare ?

shame - it would have been a quick easy fix All I want is cruise - just went to the alps and back - 8 hrs each way at 130KPH (honest) - would have been nice to flick the switch and then had a little snooze as the miles drifted past Francis

Hi all Is the crusie control system pre-built into the electronics and all that is missing are the control swicthes or is there more to it than that - it would be great if by adding a couple of switches I could get it to work - but then again I dream of many wild things and most of them do not work either Francis Gal 2.3 Zetec on a T plate Auto

Just had the orange engine warning light. Mr RAC said it was a PO700 - Transmission Control System Malfunction

did the dealer give you what the codes where out of the computer - from this you can determine what caused the original alarm

Do I Really Need To Replace My Auto Gear Box
fclauson replied to fclauson's topic in Ford Galaxy Technical Section MK I MK II
Thanks for the advice of going to Hardy's in leatherhead, surrey - what a really really nice chap - knows his stuff - no "you will have to replace gear box" here We took it for a test drive - the car behaved perfectly - so advice was - it might go again - but at the moment its perfect - ford would have unplugged all the connectors etc to the gear box - prehaps one of those was damp/rusty/corroded etc and it was thats which caused the problem originally Any way- he said bring it back if it happens again and we will take a look In the back of his w/shop he had lots of boxes all in different stages of repeairs - so really understands what does and does not go wrong with them He also hade the a Morris 1000 gear box there - something which I took appart some 25 years ago - he said they need rebuilding once every 10231231023 miles - and only if you have been grinding the gears a bit !! -
Do I Really Need To Replace My Auto Gear Box
fclauson replied to fclauson's topic in Ford Galaxy Technical Section MK I MK II
Leatherhead is near so I will try Hardy's I also spoke to "AllGears" in Kingston-upon-thames They gave some intersting observations 1 - the boxes are fitted to many models (golf, VM and Ford) 2 - 3rd gear is know to burn out it's clutch - specifcally with lots of 20 to 40 mph driving (i.e faster than round town but not motorway driving) 3 - this is sometimes caused by the computer not getting it completly right - so swapping computer and box does makes sense 4 - his price is some 75% of the main dealer - to include overdrive unit - (but I have no way of checking qulity is like for like) So Monday I will have to decided what to do next Francis
