[My Other Car Is A Galaxy]

Hi,

My name is Nigel and I have a Ford Galaxy 1.9TDi Ghia 2002 model, on a 52 Plate. She is the 6 speed manual model, with just about all the extra's. To be honest I have never been a Ford fan since owning an XR3i in my younger days. Then after a growing family caused the need for a 7 seater, I decided on a Galaxy. My first Galaxy was a 99 2.3 Ghia, which I was not too impressed with due to a few niggly faults, and the consumption. Then about a year ago I replaced it with the one I have now, what a difference. I love it, economical, nippy, and plenty of gadgets for those that like them. I have read through the forums looking for the questions I wanted answered, and the first one was the brake pedal to the floor when on tickover. Mine is just the same, brakes perfectly when in use, but with reasonable pressure applied to the pedal during tickover it travels almost to the floor. It has passed 2 MOT's with this, and I have done a few miles with no problems.

 

I will be posting another question regarding the reservoir.

 

You may ask why I am called my other car is a Galaxy, this is because I have 3 cars. The Gal (family car), MG Express (ZR Van) for work, and an MGF which is my toy.

 

To the family, there is of course me, the wife, 3 boys, and a girl. A glutton for punishment I know, but I love them all, and wouldn't have it any other way. As I'm new to this, not sure what else to say so will leave it here.

 

Regards to all,

 

Nigel

I take it that wiper linkage must be a sore point or in joke. :huh:

 

That's okay I don't know anything about wiper linkage. Is it catching?

 

My blood isn't so fresh, I am 41 now. As for the kids, they are 17, 14, 4, and 2.
