Beckhams getting half million a week!!!!!!! to play soccer in a galaxy

looks like jose mourinho supports arsenal what have you done wrong in a previos life :P ?

Hi Gooner the stuff ive got is called FW1. Apparetly you can get it from Halfords but not to sure as i got mine of 2 guys doing demos at a local petrol station on my way home from work

this has probably been covered b4 can vagcom also be used to change onboard computer to show miles left in tank? ^_^

the single wire IIRC is for the auto volume control

hi all i have this stuff in a can from america water not needed dont need to polish, takes 1 hour to do whole car including wheels leaves a coating on car that makes dirt and water just run off did mine on xmas eve! still has show room shine not been touched since its expensive though approx thirty quid a can!!!!!!

A car needs to be running for at least 20 minutes after starting just to replace the drain caused by starting the engine! how long are you running for after starting? biscuit

Hi and welcome McYoungy you will find this site very useful when it comes to repairing your car on the cheap Biscuit

Hi had the same problem on front doors try to tighten the retainer strap the links between the doors and pillars onthe door end it stopped the snapping/cracking noise for me. hope you get it sorted, gets annoying after a while doesnt it? Biscuit

Hi Kizzie i have the same problem every now and then it turns out that 1 of the mini fuses down the left hand side of the fuse box had bit of a loose connection. The fuse you are looking for is a brown 5amp mini fuse it is the 5th fuse down the is connected to all the on board electronics hope this helps! Biscuit

i do think coaches should be limited to 60, but this new law seems over the top! if we worked on old theory...the faster u go, the less time your on the motorway. although that was the protocol of the titanic era, and look what happened there :wacko: i wonder if the new law effects caravan rigs over the 3.5 tonne limit? - as i had to pass an additional test for my +E cat. MJR Not 100% sure on this one Matt but should imagine it does

You've not seen 'Ben Hur' then? But, yes, it's always seemed a bit daft to me that we'll transport human cargo at speeds we couldn't carry bananas. Spot on Higs my point exactly

Yeah! its probably slagging us Brits off! after all cant speak french :ph34r:

Paris still is wasteland innit? lol

doing it that way you would get Swampy and all his tree hugging,bicycle riding cronies lining the sides of motorways waving recycled placards at us lol!

Yes it does seem that our froggie cousins do have it sorted when it comes to the motorways. But can you see yourself staying calm on the M1 with 2 lanes of motorway crawling with vans, wagons and dreaded caravans and oonly 1 other lane to get past on?

hi all is it just me or is the new speed limit law for vans and wagons stupid? i drive a 7.5tonne wagon for work and since jan 1st all vehicles over 3.5tonne are limited to 55mph down from 70mph yet in light of yesterdays coach tragedy coaches are still allowed to do 62 mph!!! do you think this is wrong especially as coaches are ferrying people about all day?

Hi all I was wondering if any members have spotted other members with the stickers( that mum of 4 kindly distributed) while on the road because i havnt seen 1 (gets lonely here in the high peak)!!!!!!! ;)

just to put my mind at rest why cant it be working? if I read it correctly? outside temp 7.5degrees Fahrenheit ? then its 13.6111111 degree Celsius and it's above the cut out temp? if how ever the outside temp is in Celsius then it should not be working! but! as this minimum working temp is the temp of the surface of the evaporator cooling fins this may be warmer due to the heat from the engine coolant rad than the measured ambient temp as quoted by the OP! and hence his AC was working! Wolfie I don't know what you are going on about ! where are you getting 7.5 F from ?, but as you have mentioned it, it is not 13.6111111C Ps and will you change the font size of your signature, so we can read your posts in one go, and not have to move the screen over a page. Radiotwo when i said outside temp 7.5degrees it is in centigrade like it shows on your dash reading and if you look in your Galaxy owners handbook it says that the aircon only works if the outside temp is above 5dgrees C!!!!!!

hi Biscuit, Will you please keep me posted on this one. My Aircon garage swear there is nothing wrong with condensor. When you say it was duff, what do you mean. was it holed somewhere. I'm loosing all the gas every 7-10 days, yet no sign of dye leaking from condensor. seems this and the compressor are the most common things to go wrong. I'm very intested to know if you loose the gas again. GalaxyBox Hi GalaxyBox there was no sign of any leakfrom the condensor (green dye) i can only presume it was a little pin prick of a hole to small enough to let the gas out but not the dye! I too was loosing every two weeks so ill be checking and let you know Hi all Merry Christmas, i trust you all had a good one. it has now been 3 weeks since the Gal had new condenser fitted just been out to check if aircon still works and it does outside temp 7.5degrees, centre vent temp 3degrees Halleujah

Hi all guess what air con packed up again 2 weeks to the day after last regas :25: the place i bought the car from is sending it to thier local Ford dealer for them to have a look at it!!!!! It will probably cost them a small fortune! as it is still under thier warranty :23: hopefully will finally find out what the problem was will let you all know Hi all picked Gal up from garage today (had it since Tuesday) it had been into frauds for them to diagnose the problem it turns out the condenser was duff!!!!! had a new one fitted and there seems to be a lot more resistance on the compressor now than before when it was just regassed. Hopefully problem solved and job done (arent warranties great?)
