Good buy by the sound of things - welcome back. Getting the diesel was a very wise choice - just look at the problems another member is having selling their 2.3....

well i sold my 2.3 after advertising it for god knows how many weeks... first person to call about it did 100 mile round trip and still couldnt find us. we eventually went to meet them half way as soon as they saw it they fell in love with it especially the mileage 68k and the interior they gave us just under 4k but i also offered to have her serviced (which was just done today)

[gregers]

WELL WEVE DONE IT,the zaffys gone :mellow in some respects sorry to see her go she done us proud :D

 

bugger me what a car weve replaced it with,ITS BLOODY GREAT

seems to be the same as yours 'bleeno' but without the sat nav/dvd screens :)

 

just took it for a bit of a spin and tried the cruise control that was a really strange feeling B)

 

they replaced the front tyres with bridgestones (result) :D

 

it will take time to fully understand all the gizmo's on it

 

but first impressions are its fantastic.

 

have just noticed the nsf head light doesnt seem to level with the switch but the os 1 does

so its back to the dealers then to be sorted i think??????

[lazyb5]

Im glad you're pleased with it m8 .....yea the cruise control ...be careful if you use it to stick to the speed limits cos if you cruise down a steepish hill doing 30 it doesnt stay at 30 and you end up with 3 points like me mate. :D

Oh and the wipers .... if you select them to continuous wipe, when you stop they go onto intermittent until you pull away ...dork here thought there was a problem.... :) Anything else you need to know give us a shout mate.

bleeno no doubt i will ask questions m8 i own a galaxy :lol:

 

oh and heres a pic of her,soz for the quality but it was done on the camera phone

 

well took it back to the dealers its booked in for end of next week to be done,then paid a visit to the local ford dealership to see if it had missed any recalls and ask if the wheels were covered by any warranty because there slightly corroded but no luck :(

[greg_68]

bruv how the motaaaaa going?hope you like it

 

Very pleased with it, I have had it about 9 months now and nothing has droped off, stopped working or failed. A time span never achieved with my previous car.

 

I do miss it's versatility, comfort, ease of driving and extra seat.

 

But with a young family I put reliabilty at the very top of my most wanted list.

 

Looking at the endless stream of repetitive faults still appearing on here I don't ever see myself returning to the Galaxy which is a shame because I absolutely loved the new one I borrowed for 3 weeks last year.

 

Good luck with yours, you never know you may get a goodun.

Yes, but your previous car was the most complex version of a car in its first year of production, and was 10 years old, and you are comparing it with a more basic car which is barely 2 years old - for heaven's sake, it should be more reliable (even if it is a Citroen).

If reliability is at the very top of your priority list, why on earth did you buy a Citroen? Japanese would have been a hugely more rational choice.

 

By the way, if you had bought my diesel Alhambra, you would have been well pleased - it has now covered 85000 miles and has proven to be extremely reliable and vitually trouble free.

Agree with everything you say Tim. I know you are a huge fan of your car and always defend it's reliabilty.

 

Yes it was older (although only 4 years old when I bought it and things went wrong from the start)

 

Yes I would buy japanes given the choice but finances dictated not to be.

 

But I still read countless posts withexactly the same issues as I had on Galaxys no more than 3-4 years old, telling me that the issues are still the same.

 

On the Citreon site there is a completely different set of posts with no underlying major faults.

 

I am glad you have goood luck with your car, there are good and bad in all vehicles it just seems to me the good Galaxy ones are rarer and a damn site more expensive to fix.

 

Look how many posts are titled 'another fault on my Galaxy'

Bleeno,this thing about the wipers going intermittent when you stop is it on all mk2s or just on the later models?as mine doesn't seem to do this :lol:
