who cares he paid

Thanks for not biddiing Mirez!! I have both a Mk1 & a MK2 so I thought go for it!! Can't wait to see what happens when a MK2 heater comes up! then you offer me some dosh and see what happens,as ive got 1 sitting in my garage :lol:

it wont hurt taking a looksie to see if this is your problem also.

are the mk 1 noisier then the mk2 then?to be honest its never really bovered me.

just for info there is a very detailed post on connection with vag com in the faqs.

NICE 1.not often you can get a serious bargain like that,perhaps if the seller had given it at least until the end of september he might of seen some decent profit. ;) ive even seen the little exhaust go for nearly 30 quid alone.

Batteries only affect remote central locking, not the PATS chip. that i know ;) ,the reason for asking wether the batteries have been changed is the fact the pats key falls out without the owner realizing,countless posts on the subject,and if you havnt done so well worth remembering to glue the chip to the inside of the key.

STEVE thats the same link you kindly gave last night buddy ;) right ive had an idea??? do you think it will be possible to obtain the wire and thread it myself?was thinking of paying a visit to my local cycle shop a proper 1,from years back i seem to remmember you could make up your own cables dunno if you still can,as only 1 side of the cable is fubared wonder if you think its a gooden or not?. there is only 1 scrappy near me and finding a gal there is like finding rocket horse poo.

had already emailed them saif alas its for a mk1.but thanx anyway m8 i will if i have to go and ask at fords but id rather ask on here because theres a lot of peeps who know what there talking about.unlike the dealers.

cheers steve,im searching the bay as i write this ive found a few for the mk1 but i cant really see what the difference is?just need it confirmed or not.

right have finally had enough of my front drivers window after yet again it failed,took everything apart and finally found that the wire had been bent up and unravelled a bit in the motor,a bit along the lines of these posts, http://www.fordgalaxy.org.uk/ford/index.ph...hl=window+motor http://www.fordgalaxy.org.uk/ford/index.ph...hl=window+motor now do i require just the regulator and do the wires come with it? or do i also need a new motor? i had a good look and tried to flatten the wires but i think where they sit in the plastic holder(motor)is now rather worn. so which do i need ? also i have read here some conflicting opinions on wether the mk1 gubbins will fit a mk2 some say it will others say no,SO what is the real result on the findings? any help plz peeps regards gregers any 1 got the complete unit sitting in there garage that they want to part with?

went back together and all is working fine again. cool.gif until yesterday when the bloody thing done exactly the same to the missus,so now with the added confindence i set about doing the neccessaries AND guess what its now the lock side clamp that had come lose,now i tightened them both uplast time to the point of eyes closed thinking glass is going to break.now this was more serious as the wires had come off of the white plastic holder AND AS HAS BEEN POSTED BEFORE IT IS A RIGHT MARE TO GET BACK ON,as everything is under tension and just at the point of losing my temper hey presto it jumped onto the little green wheel at the bottom of the door. now the problem ive got is there is a grauncing noise everytime the window goes up and down and it feels/seems to be coming from the motor area,wondering if the motor has shed some teeth on the cog??? if so can you repair it?or do you think a new motor is required or the whole regulator and motor?.

might be worth a punt if you dont want to get your hands dirty? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ford-galaxy-mk2-auxi...id=p3286.c0.m14

hi from me also.

Yes but they are quality posts, Well done SwFsnapper ( don't think thats his real name ! ) YEP I AGREE compared to the useless drivel we normally post eh BIG ;)

One suspects he may have said something to one of the officers ? mmm my thinking aswell,but i remember being told of this years ago and wouldve thought it was taught more today as tests are meant to be a lot harder.

in the archives it has been posted about the configuration iirc you do not have the room to have 7 captains seats,think it may be possible to fit arm rests to the outer 2 middle seats.

just dont use your hammer with too much gusto, :rolleyes:

yep i agree JK.

whew :rolleyes: could you imagine owning up to it though JK?

your taking the piss arnt you BIGGY :rolleyes: :lol: thanx peeps,sadly had to work today but did get to spend a few hours on the golf course this evening,and day off tommorow so a long weekend for moi.

right dunno wether this will work on vista,but the very detailed instructions given by johnr.i followed them when i had probs and it does seem to work.these are found in the faqs. http://www.fordgalaxy.org.uk/ford/index.ph...amp;#entry84798 follow them to the letter as john has mentioned because your going into the settings,SO VERY EASILY FUBARED :rolleyes: .if you forget what youve done.

adam try searching for it,heres just 1 that could be of help to you,there are countless more as this is a common problem on these cars, http://www.fordgalaxy.org.uk/ford/index.ph...gine+restrictor read up on it and let us know,but perhaps in future rather then comming in on someone elses post you might get a better response starting your own that way peeps will know how best to help you.welcome to the forum. read up on the faqs in the technical section.

there is a post on vag com in the faqs in the tech section,dunno if its to do with xp or vista. do they not do a vista version of vag???

i knew the petrol 2ltr i had was thristy but thats TERRIBLE.how about giving it a good service,plugs/filters etc to see if that improves things a bit.maybe its missing on 1 or more cylinders and throwing the petrol out of the exhaust?im just wondering along the lines of you saying you have ordered a new cat maybe thats the reason for the orriginal failing???
