Hi all ,

I am a first time owner of a Ford Galaxy. It is a MK1 GLX 2.3 petrol "R" reg. I have a few questions that I would like to ask you experts.

 

1. The speakers in the back doors or broken can i get new covers or do i need to get new speakers .

 

2. When putting petrol in the car the pump is always clicking off why.

 

3. what is the best setting to stop the windows steaming up on a rainy day as they steam up very

quickly .

Hi there and welcome.

 

In answer to some of your questions,

 

The speaker grills are a simple fix, they are a just a couple of quid from ford and if you do a search on the forum you should find plenty of posts on the subject, there is no need to take the door cards off if you are careful.

Fuel refill click, doesn't do it on mine, is it at all pumps? Perhaps the petrol station you use on a regular basis has fast fill rates, these can be more temeramental on a whole host of cars.

 

If your windows are steaming up easily, its possibly because you have a water ingress problem, do a search on pollen filters, these are a famous cause of water ingress. Although in my experience and with a lack of air-con they do tend to mist up more than most cars. Have you got the air stuck on recirc'? This would also cause it.

Hmm..i have the fuel pump issue with mine, and mines an N reg diesel...

 

mind, mine sounds like a bag of spanners with a ton of ball bearings thrown in for good measure at the mo...only when cold though...but she rattles better than a thousand rattlesnakes, and the smoke first thing in the morn is a heck of a smokescreen....

2. When putting petrol in the car the pump is always clicking off why.

Try not putting the fuel pump nozzle into the filler too far.

stick the filler nozzle in upside down, handle upwards and twist it around till you find the optimum position that allows full flow, mine was with the trigger/handle pointing towards the top of the rear hatch :blink: it then allowed full flow on the pump

steaming up? run the ac and as stated swap out the pollen filter and clear the scuttle drains, apart from that dont go out in the rain!
