have you tried VW sometimes they charge wildly differing prices for the same bits - e.g tonneau cover fixings - ford

Don't bother - all sorted out now :huh:

:D :huh: :D What a picture: Mumof4 Book in one hand, tea on table, stereo on, ebay/gal forum at fingertips of other hand, poorly babe snuggled up on lap :D :D :D hubby slaving away at work :D

Ok - put on the requested list for Faq - Ok MM ??

have a look here This guy is having the lock re-pinned - would save on a new key, it also appears that some parts of the lock are available separately may be you can repair you lock..

ah-ha any chance of getting someone to operate window while you try easing it down? There was a recent thread where someone was in a similar situation with the window to far down to remove glass, he took it to a garage and they ....... in his own words may be worth a go

Have pm'd you

you can get the lock separately :D :D See post here

3+ years ago - IIRC cost about

how about if somebody pulls out of a junction and you hit their rear ...???

Sorry I couldnt remember who it was :D

do they know what they are letting themselves in for - :D :D :D Are they expecting to work on your galaxy as a practical excercise :D :D

same as us - first job was to get a third - cheap and program it

If you lose a key you will have to go to fords to have another one programmed, its worth getting another key cut and with your 2 keys program the third so if you lose a key you can always program another - it takes two keys to program another one :D

:D :D :D

yes - the PATS (immobilzer) is separate from the remote, daughter has probably lost the pats chip out of the key - remote would still work but car wouldn't start with it. You need a new chip and program (not remote part) to pats system. Two separate procedures for programming - one for remote and one for pats see the faq you want to try mkii pats programming in case the chip is there and has become corrupted (how I don't know) but worth a try providing you have 2 working keys - if not its off to the stealers :D

Oh we do but it wears out the keyboard when mumo4 is there :D :D :D you just want to snoop in cloaked mode :D

might have guessed you'd ask about those .... :D

If he's still trading on ebay I would probably send it back or get a quote from somewhere to professionally repair it (unless there is a common simple mechanical problem with these) and make a judgement of cost against the risk of returning it - who did you get it from on ebay?

may be a silly question but have you checked the wires in the loom through the rubber boot into the A -pillar - broken wire here is a common problem

On the MOT front - not only did it pass but I didn't recognise the gal when I saw her ... they ..... cleaned her, washed her wheels and blacked her tyres :D :D FOC :D :D - assuming that a diesel mot is

was this the same unit that you thought you had been ripped off with on Ebay ????

Ok here you go as promised ... gulp you may have something broken the pictures may help... :D :D

allen key or torx ???
