just got a beast, 95a 850cca off a new merc tho no idea if it'll fit the tray as yet
-
wouldnt worry about it as its a spare just use it as long as you keep below 30mph, think runflats, if you want to go the hog spray the middle yellow
-
it needs the ign on to get out of lockout so just drive it about as normal with it on and it'll come up showing code

Fuse Keeps Blowing
zorgman replied to ianandsarah's topic in Ford Galaxy Technical Section MK I MK II
as above, you tried the single test yet, ie open shutting doors loadsa times my bet its the drivers door, when fixing wire btw dont rejoin the wire/s insert a new section in there and no crimping, if your good you can use the lap wrap start off wire over each other looks like a W twist one side clock other side anticlock very tight then insulate with good tape and no solder so no stress point -

Instrument Cluster Help Please
zorgman replied to kitty_uk's topic in Ford Galaxy Technical Section MK I MK II
its your earth connection that goes to the clocks for some reason its on the big round connector just to the rear and left of the battery on the engine. same happened to me when i done a head swap, if you look you can see the come out on the left of plug so check on other side or chop them and remake off to the earth bolt that is there -
yes ive blocked mine 4yrs ago soon as i got car. just pull pipe off and block it and thats it or go the whole hog and remove the lot as i did. if you can be arsed take the inlet manifold off and get rid of the old carbon using caustic soda and or set fire to carbon by soaking it in petrol. the caustic soda gives the manifold a nice blackish look but keep yor eye on it as it will be eaten away if left to long. read the instructions on bottle and use protective eye/hand stuff as it stings hands and will blind you

Afn To Ahj Engine Swap?
zorgman replied to meatwagon's topic in Ford Galaxy Technical Section MK I MK II
hi as far as im aware it will fit but to get your 110hp power fit as u say the injectors and turbo, or whay not swap just the head over as their identical. be carefull taking injectors out as its best to use a slide hammer to pull them, sounds daft but i use vinegar overnight soaking round the injectors as it attacks the carbon. Forget bout wd40 and the like it dont work. also change the timing belt and pump -
