I have never been a member of another forum. I don't even own a gal anymore but i still like the banter on here and the people i talk too and the fact that there is so much you can learn here. I'm sure a time will come sooner or later when i leave here but i can tell you this much... I will not be joining any other forum not even a volvo one i don't see how any other can match the people that are helpful here. So please please please keep this forum the way it is and guys and girls keep posting the helpful info for everyone to read and learn from.

2001 ford galaxy with custom leather

OH GOD ! Now i know whats between my ears ! :D

Try a breaker on ebay or i think its called parts gateway on the net. If you want new try Gsf they might be able to help you might find them locally or on the net. Nearly forgot try vw sometimes they are cheaper than ford for the same part.

Happy birthday mate.... If you are reading this after the Big Bang enjoy the rest of the day.. Life begins at this age :)

I lost my wipers once the lead leading to the small black fuse box (located near the battery) and to the Alternator was damaged inside. This lead got very hot whilst the car was running. It caused the box to melt inside and one of the leads began to arc. Once i replace the box and the lead everything was fine. I'm sure it has been posted on here many times.

If i needed one i would go to gsf (german swedish french) they would give you a good price on one. I wouldn't go for used, you don't know what you are getting. I hope in some way i have helped.

Welcome Helmit... keep reading the post and i'll look forward to reading yours when you post them. Hope the car serves you well.

You don't have remote unlocking ? What type is your gal MK2 ? When i left my key in my gal too long when my remote played up my windows went down. Then if i locked the door with the key and held it too long they went back up as they should.

I'm not supprised you were prescibed them then... God and there was me thinking it was a ford.... OH NO i've just said that out load ! :13:

Have there been any other problems with the gal ????

Oh i see you have had to replace one then :13:

Well officer i could have sworn i dropped my

May need some for the person who needs to buy a replacement one !

Take a 13mm spanner iirc with you ! Oh and a torch and wear a pair of trainers just in case... :13:

Hmmmmm... I thought that maz. Maybe he is buying a better looking MK2. :13: (only my opinion)

If you need a new exhaused for it try a scrappy ? Failing that it may be a costly trip to frauds !

If it slips it's fuct. :13: and if it makes a tapping noise on start up which goes when engine is revved. It's fcuked ! Oh forgot to say the tapping noise can come back when idling and may go when clutch is depressed.

I use to drive my gal about 1000 miles aweek when i owned it a mix of motorway and urban. The dmf never use to slip allthough after 3 years of this mileage the dmf needed to be replaced (170000 miles tho). I bought a brand new one for

Hi Al. I haven't got a galaxy now but i have heard that gals are great towing motors. I have a caravan and i tow it with a volvo. Mine is a fleetwood. It's a few years old but it's a twin axle and it feels stable to tow. So if it was me i would lean towards the twin axle bailey. What ever you buy i hope it gives you many happy holidays. Steve

I got an idea :o . You could always put a sign on the side of the gal and leave the fuel cap off and say help yourself. I'm sure someone out there will drain it for free :D .

Try ebay and ask breakers on there. I would think that to go to frauds would be expensive.

Could you get these from GSF ? Might be good to give um a ring (If you have a local branch) They delivered to me when i coudn't get there.

I have an aftermarket undertray that i bought from ebay. It's poor quality. I bought it before i sold the gal. I never got round to fitting it on mine. I kept the the old broken one so i could swap the soundproofing over. Yep your right Maz they are heavy when they have a bit of oil on them. Makes a nice anament to step over in my garage :unsure: .

Hi cat welcome to the forum. I'm a fellow caravaner too. I'm sure the gal will tow great. I hope it gives you many trouble free miles so that you can continue to enjoy your family holidays. :lol:
