Maybe Coming Back To The Fold

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'

Yes, I agree that there are good and bad in all cars (even Japanese), but look also at the poll on how members rate their car - over 88% would buy another, and 65% have had to spend less than

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 ;)

have also noticed about the wipers going intermittent,cant really see what the problem is over it,just something else to get used too.

 

but had another result,when i picked the car up,because it had a couple of weeks left on the original tax they gave me a cheque and said not to send the logbook off yet wait till the tax ran out and the post office will do it for you,i didnt bother looking at the cheque just put it with all the other bumpf,well the missus went to get the tax today,THEY GAVE US 12 MTHS :lol: :lol: the cheque was made out for

Golly. They don't think much is wrong with it then.

In my experience it's a little unusual to keep a trade-in for sale at the same dealer.

 

If you think about it, a dealer has to provide a warranty on the Zaffy (at the very least), give it a good clean out, and still make a profit to cover his overheads.

 

And there's no guarantee he'll actually clear

[gregers]

the dealer is part of the main vauxhall dealership,the warranty will no doubt be 3-6 mths(unless there like me and negotiated).

but the zaffy was in damn good condition.

Sounds like you 'done well son'!!!

UPDATE!!!!! :16: well after scouring the pages in the faqs,it has now become apparent THAT MY BLOODY AUX HEATER DOESNT WORK,it was 7 degrees this morning and absolutely no sound or murrmers from the heater at all,and it seems to be making some clonking noises when we go over bumps,so as its in the dealers on friday having the headlight sorted its now going to be looked at for all the other things that could be wrong with it,

oh gawd explaining the aux problem to the receptoinist was a classic :16: so thats the heater inside ur car not working,no its the aux heater not working ETC ETC ETCabout 5 mins to explain.

 

oh the joys of the galaxy especially as its only 2 weeks old to me :16:

...and I think you mean the booster heater.

[gregers]

UPDATE

well dropped the car off at the dealers at 10am,they said it would be ready by 4.30pm,i walked in at 4.30 the car was in bits and thats where i waited until 5.25pm and that was just for the headlight repair,confirmed drop links needed replacing parts are on order(well will be)coz it was too bloody late in the day to order them then :huh: AND SURPRISE SURPRISE sorry we cant diagnose the aux (BOOSTER)heater BECAUSE OUR COMPUTER WONT COMMUNICATE WITH THE CAR now theres a bloody big surprise (vauxhall dealership):huh: so its now got to be booked into the local ford dealers to be sorted :huh: ahhh well wonder if theres anything else i can find thats knackerd .wouldve thought this would be costing them a pretty penny.glad i aint paying for it. :lol:

[HullHornet#30]

My head hurts...i know there hundreds of different posts and threads but what does the aux/booster heater actually do cause i've just taken delivery of our 03 ghia and want to make sure its all working but its not cold enough here at the mo.

[gregers]

WELL ANOTHER UPDATE

 

well it went into fords to be hooked up to there computers and they phoned me to say that the aux heater(booster)is fooked and that it will be

[gregers]

well they changed the tyres,have now got some continentals on,changed the drop links all nice and quite now,just waiting now for the argument about changing or fixing the aux booster heater.

[Guest wolfie]

mmm starting to sound like an absolute bargain of a car http://i.pbase.com/g3/56/398356/2/57595213.Wetlemon37621.jpg applies to you or the car ;)

[gregers]

teething problems thats all,nothing that hasnt been posted b4,im just glad ive got a warranty with it.

 

just makes you wonder about the tyres as they were changed at a main vauxhall dealer or at a tyre place,makes you wonder what else they do in these places that they havnt got a clue about,and worst case scenario could they be held liable.

[gregers]

ok here goes,now need some advice,

 

the dealership have said that because the aux booster heater is an accessory they will do nothing about it,so i went to the supplying dealer and had a polite conversation about this matter,and he has said his hands are tied basically,have also contacted trade and standards people for info,

 

 

is the booster heater regarded as an accessory?technical info needed on this one does it harm the engine in the long run if its not working?

need help from you good people on this b4 i really blow my stack over it,i know the car drives fine without it working,but in my reckoning if it was there from the day the manufactures put it in THEN ITS THERE FOR A REASON so it should be working

 

thanx good peeps
