from the way ur bangin that drum it wont be long :lol: ;)

hi and welcome U BLOODY TRAITOR BIGRUPE ;) who said that ? ;) :blink: :lol: :lol: welcome m8 enjoy the banter

very poss , i'm not up on them , would this work from unlocking then or when you insert key in ignition ?

thanks for your reply , you'd think they would have put a blank over the end :blink: , but cheers anyway ;)

the only thing that would start before ignition is a pre heater for fuel or glow plugs, but not fitted to mk1 galaxy , not sure on yours, someone is bound to know though

very resonable :25:

billy connolly 1st shame he doesnt do more , peter kay recently very funny man

i think its the only way out , if your independant throws up anything then take it up with ford , i would say we have all had clutch probs and gearbox , but not to this extent, "YET" and hopefully never, good luck with it and let us know the outcome

well glad it cheered you up :lol: , without every bit of factual info its immposible to know, only you and ford have the answer then, as i said in my opinion you'd think they would want to solve it , if they say no either take them to court or pay elswhere , we carnt make ford do it :lol:

Mmmm trikey one this , i dont think sk was insulting you personally i think we all know taxi's get a battering, if you purchased from ford , then they are responsible for warranty work, but they will argue your brother is not ford trained or employed, this viods any warranty , you'd think ford would want to get to the bottom of it from an engineering/training piont of view, as well as their reputation, i would suggest a meeting with their service manager and try and meet half way on costing, good luck

very unusual to overfill, but i'm not doubting you, you are checking it from a cold engine on a flat surface ?, only i had a customer once checking it on a slope, anyhow as (sk )says they have extraction pumps, just ask them to check any components , and you'll want a print out

i have a friend in recovery , he's recovered two in month with apparantly engine bay fires, carnt say its related , could of been anything, i have a stray plug on mine thats live , makes you nervous doesnt it, its certainly worth speaking to ford try and keep anything in writing for future ref, no doupt they will try and give you the brush off, but persist, what have you to lose?

looks great :D but then it looked great anyway :D is it still as comfy over bumps and potholes though :lol: , perhaps i'm gettin old :D but it does look great anyway :D

must be a good bloody party :lol: :D

crikey :lol: sounds like a nightmare how long have you had the car where did you purchase it ?

they used to sell a tool that went between the plug and lead that you could watch to see if the spark was strong/present, a friend had several tested all at the same time , try halfrauds

thanks rambo i'm pretty sure it goes to nothing but carn't see why its live, thanks for all the help so far , where have all the mk1 dsl drivers gone :lol: is there a party somewhere :D

:D buy some sunglasses its easier :D can normally manage the side its the tailgate i get stuck, with wastage its prob easier to replace the glass from breakers yard :lol:

i once came by a ex army landrover that had been to the gulf war 1, complete with gulf sand :( when i sold it, i forgot to give the guy the sand :( which he was so enthusiastic about, so the wife binned it, week later he comes back for it :( , i had to fill an envelope from the kids sandpit :huh: :( :(

anyone ???

Dont know about the diesels,,,,,but on my petrol the air temp sensor is within 6 inches of the maf,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, on my dsl this is on the other side of engine, unless there's another, was just hoping someone would pop out and check their mk1 :rolleyes:

not familiar with mk1 but possibly the air intake temp sensor ??????????????????????? nope got that :rolleyes: it won't reach more than about a foot from the maf :rolleyes:

the plastic bit has melted at some point, near somthing hot i'd guess, but it was elec taped and hidden down the back of the air box, just wondered if anyone else had it on theirs , as i don't have a wiring diagram, cheers

Looks like the connector for the air temp sensor,,,,which is behind the maf,,,,,,,,,,or it connects to nothing i carn't find a home for it but its live :rolleyes:
