hello first of all your car should already have an alarm fitted with movement sensors in the B pillars, and dead locking, as to the alarm circuit, there appears to be an ignition live on the circuit diagram missing, usually there is battery live, which it has, and an ignition live to prevent the alarm from being activated when the ignition is on, anyway what do you want to know, it should work without the ignition live, "there appears to be an ignition live on the circuit diagram missing.......and an ignition live to prevent the alarm from being activated when the ignition is on" The alarm functions even when the car is started and running as it control the central locking with the fob and if the car is been stolen and driven away you can have the engine cut with pushing the button on the fob!and other wacky functions. So how do I find out if i have an alarm? and B pillar which pillar would that be, the one next to the little window at the front or the one in between the front and rear door and is it the driver side or passenger side? If i do have an alarm can i get the key pad and where?

Hello guys, Sip or anyone else I have a new problem, i went to clarkins and asked them for the relays that are missing just to get a price. They said the number on top of the relay is not enough. each pin on the relay has a number on it also, they told me to bring in the old one (can't do that it was stolen). Can anyone help with finding the exact relay i will require? Where can I find the numbers on the pins without the relays are they on the really sockets where the relays would go? I have the following missing :- CENTRAL JUNCTION BOX Position............Relay number..............Description R2......................72 R3 .....................30...........................I have one that says 109 in this position R4......................18 ...........................I have one that says 8kb for some reason R9......................36 R10.....................JUMPER R14.....................169 UNDER INSTRUMENT PANEL I have only black and white relay but i haven't check the number on the top of them to see if they are the right ones so if someone can give me information on them to, the rest are missing - R18....................green R19.....................grey R21....................orange R24....................violet R25.....................beige R26......................Blue Maybe if someone can give me information I require on all the relays then I can see if the ones that are in the car are the right ones. Thank you!

Hi, Just had a engine put in to my 97 galaxy its a ahu engine. Its not to the best performance as it could be or remember it to be, and the ecu was repaired as that gave symptoms has if the MAF was messed up (some one made a loop in the MAF switch, partly burnt out the ecu, I have 1 less of a friend as a result). All of it is fixed up but few problems on the way as my car got broken into as the mechanics so few things went missing, like the fuses and relays.Most of it replaced by the mechanic. My turbo is not whistling and I know I need to change the oil and oil filter, I think there is dirt in the turbo as originally a head was going to be put on and due to this the turbo pipe was exposed to the elements. When i got the car back it was white smoking but I gave it a run on M1 for a few mins and only got speeds to just under 100mph (not saying how much, dont want 3points. lol), wouldnt go any more than that. I've had the old original engine go 105mph, the speedo says 120mhp but never achieved that! but white smoke has cleared after that run. The clutch was changed so prob needs wearing in, but i been driving it around and one night it was moving nicely almost how it was before but no didnt hear no whistle. There is maybe a slight noise but thats all! Anyone have advise??????

Hi, Bleeno, the other wires on the lower part of p12 are for central locking which was brought with the alarm, There are 4 locks that pull and push the existing Manuel lock that would be in a car. these other wires would connect to that. I didnt need it as mine has central locking. Once you have the central locking in front of you with the alarm it makes sense it just everything on the car and where it goes that i have a problem with. Anyone have a clue on how much I would be charged for installation, in London? P.S thanks for the help everyone, think I need to take your advise.

I knew someone was going to say that! Any particular reason why I shouldn't do it myself? Anyone else with some advise other than the one above? but thanks for the reply seatkid. and No mine dont seem to have an alarm but think it does have a immobiliser that works with the key and ignition.

Hi everyone, I brought an alarm from abroad and I need some help in wiring it up, can anyone help me please. I understand the instructions but not sure about the wires within the car, which colour wire is for which device or instrument etc or even what point do I find to make a clean connection (relay or some other point?). I have scanned the installation instruction, please do have a look and post me on procedure please :- Galaxy P reg 97, 1.9 TDI, AHU Engine. Thank you!

sip! I think you've done the job. Thanks a lot il see how i get on withit. Peace!

If anyone who has the same galaxy as mine could look at their fuse box (central junction box) which is under the steering wheel and write up whats under it and what fuse and amp is placed at whatever fuse number! or draw it up p.s I have the front windows electric only and air con. I expect everything else would be same. Thank you!

Hi everyone! I recently gave my car to a garage to get a engine put in and someone broke into my car and stole a few bits including all the fuses and relays. Stuff were replaced by the garage but a few relays were not, I was told that the petrol galaxy share the same fuse box as the desiel so some of the relays are not used on the desiel. Well few things are not fuctional like front window demister, back wiper and I'm woundering whatelse might not be working in regards to the engine because its not feeling right (could need oil change, think they put in cheap or old oil). Can anyone give me a diagram on what relays and where they are placed in the central juction box and also what they do? Also the fuses as well please and what amp fuse! can anyone tell me if the wrong relay is placed would it still function at all or function oddly? Ford galaxy, MK1, 1.9 TDI, AHU engine, P reg 1997. I've looked in my TIS ford cd and not much joy, doesn't seem to match up to my cars fuse box correctly. Also need to install an alarm think can't do it with all the relays misplaced, help!!!!!! Thank you!

Yea i know im getting carried away! rather me then the head cracked! all i been doing is waiting and waiting got to start on the thing 2ow or il never end up dong it at this rate! been waiting on someone to get me some tools! o well il wait until 2ow otherwise il just go and get them myself! thanks everyone for your help and il keep you posted on the progress or on any further information il might be needing, Thanks!

What are you talking about gregers, I already powered down from a jack hammer! I was also going to hammer some more tracktion into my tyres, masionary nail should be sufficient! Lets see I have as present have a big sun roof, which use to be my front window i guess more of a moon roof than a sun roof! half an engine that prob give me half the torque that should be compensatated by the rocket cover acually looking like a rocket so twice as moch torque than before, no gear box and gear nob! so instead of house power its Back to old school filstones power. no rear passenger door (less surface area for the air to hit, air resistance). o yea and no reverse sensor as i wasnt intending to go backwards, well who want to look back after the almost free mods ive done on this babe! A broken starter motor, well who gona stop after this babe it completed, never be a finish to be a start! And off road tyres. Have i left anything out? o yea i didnt put in the nitro, il cut 7 holes right in front of each chair, and il shout out NITRO and i should feel a sudden jolt of superb rush of power and increase of wind going through my hair as everyone contributes to pushing with their legs. I can just see it

What did you just call me? chicken? :lol: lol just messing, thanks for that syedorf. I guess i just have to now get down to it and deal with the head rather being a chicken! lets see, hummm! take off the front window to start with, then the gear nob, which should make it easy to take of the rear passager door! in turn i can start to dismantle the gear box and take out the reverse sensor! then forget about the half done gear box to go and hammer the starter montor, about 12 blows should do it. Then Drill a few speed holes in the radiator, think il need a hilti hammer drill for that! And then let me see humm! I guess start on the rocket cover! doesnt really look like a rock so il get the hammer and soon sort that problem out! ok il go and do all that right away, unless if anyone has any objections to that? bye! :lol:

hi syedorf, Thanks for you comments and advice, dearly noted. I have one question it might be hard to anwser coz it might need some explaintion and as i do not posses much knowlegde on this area. you said "when you lift the head back on you should not have the cam tightened down" how is the cam tighted, or are you talking about the cam sproket (cam wheel that the timing belt goes on)? and you said "as this lifts the valves down just leave them loose then tighten them after tis should avoid any damage" Just woundering tighten the cam after what? when the head is on and bolted on? Hope I'm not getting on peoples nerves, you guys must be thinking "this guy is soooooooooooo soooooo sooo Dumb and dumb is the only closet word in the english language" O well, What can you do! Thanks for you patience guys!

Thanks neil_wiles for your reply, your making me really happy now lol! Well lets hope it minimal damage, I'm going to for sure send it to a specialist to get it repaired but he did mention to me that all the ones he gets in are so damaged that they are too far gone to repair so therefore only sells new head units. So he did make clear to me that mine maybe same! but i didnt mention to him the damaged accured when turning engine. Acually neil give me a run down on the procedure on "punched the valve followers and they may have burst as they are hollow if this is the case" What would be the repair procedure if this is the case? and you said "Try a drop of petrol in each head recess before removing the valves to check for the sealing of the valaves it may save a lot of work lapping in new valves" Its a tdi do you mean pour some deisel and you mentioned head recess? is that the circular parts when you open the black cover off the top of the head and do you think I would be able to fix the head if i have no idea what a recess? Just let everyone know I dont mind getting my hands dirty but I'm just a beginner, sure I know how to service a car from oil change to brakes, but engine itself its not like these things happen so regular. If it did happen to me so regular I be crying and prob just end up push biking every where instead. So guys if i can repair this, if its that easy then il need details for sure. Thanks guys you lot got talent!

Thanks neil_wiles and Dave (aka Brookydave) for your replies, Dave, when the mechanic retimed it for me he showed me the making in the bell housing, yea its hard to see but one thing about that - what do you line up with the arrow in the bellhouse or is it just aslong as you can see it through the hole its in the position? You was mentioning the contact angle about the value, The tensioner became damaged but the thing about that is the engine was not running at the time of value to piston contact. The value to piston contact happened when trying to start the engine and it was only making a slight knocking noise. so I'm hoping theres not too much damage. What you think? Got to just open it up and see. Thanks for the detail guys! P.s Dave I'm using the haynes manuel book rather than the ford cd, is the ford cd the same or would you advice me to purchase one?

Hi Syedorf & Seatkid Thanks for your advice a few things like the tools was helpful and the 80 sand paper but I'm going to get a specialist to repair the head for me, as i dont trust myself to be able to repair the head. The main concern was putting the head back on, as the head may become damaged again due to piston and value contact, thats my main concern. I really wanted a run down on once the head is on, putting the head on timing, the marking in bell housing. Any do's and dont's with concerning that, what should I look out for! I guess I have an idea what to do but just really nervous and want reassurance that I'm doing it correct. Really really dont want to damage the head as its costing me an arm and a leg and prob 2toes and a thumb!lol Syedorf & Seatkid if you two or anyones else can advise on the head furthur and on my nerves as well please! Thank you guys!

I have a p reg Galaxy 1.9 TDI I believe the 90bhp and the cylinder head is damaged due to the cam belt tentioner. I have replaced the cam belt and tensioner with new ones. I am going to take off the head but I am worried about putting it back on as I am going to spend money to get my one repaired and dont want to end up at square 1 again! If you see what I mean! The locking pin is in the fuel pump and the locking plate aswell to stop the cam shaft from moving! I have had the timing checked by a mechanic, which is fine now as he tried to get it started but ofcouse failed as the cylinder head is damaged. BUT this mechanic is too busy now to put on my head (my galaxy is outside my house and not in a mechanic's garage), and I cant get anyone on a call out! I now want to put on the head myself with the help of the manule book. So can anyone please give me some hints, guide lines, do and don'ts, or tell me of some legendary special tools to go by to carry out this procedure without damaging the cylinder head????? Some times the manule isn't enough or just not detailed enough. I would be most gratefull!

Ok rang up fords they go that you can't put a 115bhp ECM into a 90BHP galaxy. You have to put the one thats for the car. gooner52 any chance you can give me the number for the breaker?private message me if you want! il pm you in min. Thanks for all the people on this topic that helped me couldn't of done it without you, i would like to mention my mum, my agent, the director lol just messing!

Yo Gooner52 you would be doing me a very big favour by giving me the digits to that breakers. Does anyone know wether i can put 115bh ECU into my 90BHP engine?

OK i know i haven't replied for a while, sorry about that guys I have figured it out, while someone else did the ECU is partly damaged. the dude said that by making a loop at the MAF, it directly connected to the ECU. HE said i lucky that my car still running now i have to find a breaker for a new ECU. *Does anyone have a breaker up north cause london aint going to have any deisel galaxy. *Can anyone tell me wether a 115bhp ecu will be campatible with my 90bhp galaxy (Preg) just incase i cant find a 90bhp?

OK, thank you everyone for your response! Interesting responses indeed, i'am a peaceful guy so I forgive and forget and he is more skint than me! I really don't think its the MAF because it wasn't connected at the time and its fine on the hills and it gives the same mpg as before. Still get about 100mile for

Hi everyone watching, As you can see by my enthusiasm, I
