  1. mine also takes about 10 mins to heat up,WOT DOES THIS MEAN THEN???????????ive had a brand new booster heater fitted to it only a month or 2 ago.
  2. its like anything with any car,you will only hear the bad things about cars when the problem arises,there does seem to be a lot of posts on here about auto gearboxes, the reason fords refer people to vw(mainly tdi owners)is because its a vw engine, personally id go for a Manuel(but ive never owned an auto)so im being biased, no doubt youve searched in exchange and mart,try searching in the friday ad aswell for a shalaxy.
  3. hi sparky,depends as usual on how the car is driven,but i seem to be getting(mostly round town)about 36mpg,well thats what the computer tells me.have had it up to approx 45 mpg on a longish journey.
  4. :lol: :rolleyes:
  5. an ex bmw technician told me that the booster heaters are fitted not just to get the cabin warmer but also to make the engine run more efficiently and to help in lowering the emissions.
  6. hi rusty welcome to the forum and have fun reading all the posts.
  7. the only advice i can give you(not much of a help)but might get you thinking??? get a galaxy with captains seats,that way you can pivot the seat when getting in and out of the car plus you wont have collapse onto the seat.
  8. well theres a surprise,i received a phone call from warranty direct this afternoon,the normal spiel from the salesman he asked me why i hadnt completed the deal so i told him you were too bloody expensive,and within 1 minute he dropped the price by 50 quid,told him there were plenty more warranty company's out there and i would be looking into what the others offer me,he then said BUT DO THEY OFFER WHAT WE OFFER,dunno i said aint asked em yet,but dont worry coz i will. he said he'd give me a ring in a weeks time......... wonder how much they will end up dropping????????? SKIPPY,is that right about having too have your car serviced at a garage???coz i get a m8 to do mine(and its free :lol: )
  9. either that or look out for a complete rubber overlay for the carpet.
  10. well spotted :lol: :P yep ur a fully fudged teacher B)
  11. NIK isnt that what the parents say to you 'your practicing at being a teacher'?
  12. BRILLIANT :lol: B)
  13. saw this on another forum..............mmmmmmmm now which 1 was it???? :lol: B)
  14. johnyh how long have you owned the car if its recent take it back and get the dealer(if dealer bought)to sort out the problems. whereabouts in the sout east are you?
  15. just for a laugh,ive just filled in the warranty direct one, BLOODY HELL works out at 52 quid p/month thats with clicking most of the things i think should be covered like steering/transmission/air con/electrics/engine etc etc iirc its been mentioned on here before warranty direct will start bombarding you with phone calls?and every time the price gets cheaper and cheaper,WELL WERE WAIT AND SEE.
  16. for the mirrors check here http://www.fordgalaxy.org.uk/ford/index.ph...ost&p=64104 this is found under faqs in the technical section.hth
  17. open up hatch,top right you will find a black plastic corrugated tube,inside is a host of wires,ill bet a few are broken.
  18. dunno with the cost of fuel i cant afford to fill mine up,but im getting about 60 miles out of a tenner.but it is mostly short journeys our car does.
  19. yep works for me just checked it @18.01
  20. unless someone who has the info pms you,it is frowned upon in giving out the codes in an open forum, pay a visit to your local ford dealers they will happily give you the info(you might need your log book) hth.
  21. breakers or ebay,unless you own long arms and short pockets.
  22. yes it can be achieved ive read it on the net somewhere,i think you need to be an absolute whizz with a computer and the relative software,why dont you just get into the habit of pushing the handle in.
  23. hi bushm,i dont know what version you own,but are you sure its not the after run pump your hearing????
  24. i could be wrong(usually am)but i dont think vag-com will work with your version of galaxy,yours has a ford engine and you will notice everyone talking about vagcom all have diesels engines. no doubt someone who knows more about it then myself will give you a definite answer.
