Will you marry me?? :wacko: Sadly, being already enslaved....I will have to refuse your kind offer. Try asking mk2vr6..... ( I know he's desperate enough) now thats funny :huh: :o wait for the response.

mmm do a search on clock spring another common problem that these cars suffer from,iirc beaware you have to disconnect the airbag etc BE VERY CAREFUL think you have to disconnect the battery 1st and leave it for 1/2 hr.

i too agree with the above posts,even if it means you buying yourself a reasonable socket/spanner set and the parts you will still be quids in.DEALERS ARE LAST RESORT thats why this forum was set up because peeps were sick and tired of being ripped off. im sure there are detailed instructions on here on how to carryout the necessary repairs.

iirc theres a sticker on the pillar of the front drivers door with the tyre pressures.

as above or look on ebay for them.

JD,the oil from halfords is ok,there are a few posts on the subject over the years,and sometimes halfords do a bogoff deal thats the time to buy :( ,make sure you get the correct oil for your car thats the important bit,again read up on the info then you forarmed. i too am a bit like you,bit aprehesive over doing things on the car,but like everything in life give it a go,the more you do the more confidence you gain. im seriously thinking of getting 1 of the oil extractors,will save a lot of time and effort, and as i have a service comming up in the next 1k,i think the oil change is the most difficult part.simply to do the filters and you save yourself a few quid.

IIRC it could be a duff batery?

JK,now that looks a good piece of kit,saves taking the under tray off.

should be under the ash tray.

im in the same boat,lots of posts on the subject.you need a new/second hand regulator and maybe a motor? had mine in bits and rethreaded it.the trouble is with mine the wire has been kinked and keeps jumping off of the plastic motor thread. im a dab hand at getting the bloody thing out,and ive got to do it again at the week end as its gone again.

you could try using a metal coat hanger bent into shape?

thanx for that saif,yes still looking,but not at that price. im sure ill find 1 at a price im willing to pay,been emailing peeps for prices and some have been comming back at really stupid money,or there the mk1 being advertised for the mk 2.

im with privilege,they beat morethen by a mile on my renewal.think its all down to your own personal situation.

i have seen on ebay sets specially made for the gal,dont forget to look under vw sharan/alhambra aswell as galaxy on there.

tim,it wouldnt surprise me if he came from that site to start with, especially with the parting shot of Believe me, you guys need me a lot more than I need you!

the info iirc is on a plate/sticker on the front bulk head under the bonnet.

how old is it? QUOTE (yramesor789 @ Apr 27 2009, 23:50:52) * How do I determine whether my Galaxy Ghia Tdi has a 115bhp or 130 bhp? see whats on timing belt cover and match the engine code, three letters eg anu -90-bhp, auy-115bhp, asz-130bhp, asz1-150bhp

not your booster heater by any chance is it? thought id be the first this season to mention the bloody thing ;) have you been using your wipers?did he change the washer fluid?

i did do a search mate, that's why i said in my post all the wiring going into the boot seems to be in good condition but thanks anyway ;) seems is the word eh, i would defo check again,just because everything looks ok on 1st inspection it has been known that after a lot of searching it comes back to the wiring in the gaitors,(as you have already mentioned)but i would also check the door switches all round these can corrode and might throw up the problems your sufferering from.no harm in double/triple checking things again.

gordon,you might find that the clutch plate has fallen off and sitting in your under tray,as mine was :D ;) i was luckey i had bought another compressor ff of eabay and with the help of my m8 we changed the plate in situ and lo and behold back working correctly again. but if its been serviced and nothing has been found then your probably right.

if it turns out to be these which iirc cost about

maz check your in box.

why whats happening to your rust bucket in febuaray,NOT GETTING A MK 3 GAL ARE YOU???? :lol: :16:

yep defo sounds like the drop links.a cheap items to replace by your self instructions on here somewhere. found em,in faqs. http://www.fordgalaxy.org.uk/ford/index.ph...amp;#entry13094

well as i still have a partly functioning front drivers window,ive done some searching on ebay and noticed someone selling galaxy/vw window motors but it also included that it fitted a vw polo?after a bit more serching found listings for regulator repair kits under vw.now anyone know if they will fit the galaxys?? as there has been a few posts on the subject this(if they fit)could be a very cheap way of repairing your windows?without spending vast ammounts on a complete regulator, http://shop.ebay.co.uk/i.html?_nkw=vw+regu...s&_osacat=0 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?VIS...em=170380835353 many thanx
