Indicators & Door Panels

[springen]

Two things I've noticed about my Galaxy recently.

 

I'm not sure if this a feature of all Mk2's, but mine has the 'flick-indicators', which means that when you 'flick' the indicator stalk the indicators flash for four flashes then stop - useful I find when changing lanes at motorway speeds or exiting a roundabout. Anyway, recently I've noticed that when I've had the indicators on normally, when they self cancel after turning the wheel, the opposite side flashes for four flashes. It would appear that when the stalk cancels it flicks back operating the opposite side indicators. Has anybody else noticed this, or got Ford to fix it ? ;)

 

Also on a completely different subject, I've noticed that the outer door panels (front and rear) wobble when you shut the doors. My previous SEAT (Mk1) never did this - did they reduced the thickness of the metal in the doors ??? :wacko:

mine don't do it either i wish they did well exept for the bounce thing wouldn't want that ! my rear wiper does similar sometimes when you turn it off it sets the front ones going as if you operated the wash wipe

Nope nor mine :wacko:

 

Interesting, then I believe the 'flick-indicators' (as I call them) are a feature of the late (2005/2006) Galaxy's. The dealer told me that his Mondeo also had this feature.

The metal thickness has not been reduced.

The metal thickness has not been reduced.

 

 

Maybe there is less 'stiffening' in the door panel then ??
