Guest THE OLD GAL Posted March 18, 2004 Report Posted March 18, 2004 See my attachment. Evidently this part cannot be purchased. You have to buy the whole front panel ( Quote
Guest nimrod Posted March 19, 2004 Report Posted March 19, 2004 Have you tried a breakers for the part? Quote
Richmond Posted March 19, 2004 Report Posted March 19, 2004 Do you need it? Sod's Law is pretty clear on this one; the day after you replace it, you'll drive into some weird protruding thingy, unseen by the parking sensors, and break it. Better to do without it if you can until you need to sell the car. Quote
Mussey1 Posted March 19, 2004 Report Posted March 19, 2004 Just stick a VW badge in it's place!! Mussey1 Quote
Guest nimrod Posted March 19, 2004 Report Posted March 19, 2004 Yep, and watch its resale value rise but it reliability drop :P Quote
Guest THE OLD GAL Posted March 20, 2004 Report Posted March 20, 2004 If I stuck a VW badge on it, with my luck the Beastie Boys would make a comeback. NIMROD - do you see many GALs in breakers? Quote
Guest nimrod Posted March 20, 2004 Report Posted March 20, 2004 I've seen a few :huh: I pass one sometimes on the way to work and they have a few on their racks! try http://www.intapart.com/index.htm Quote
italiastar Posted March 20, 2004 Report Posted March 20, 2004 I suppose it could be worse - they could have insisted selling you a whole front end to fix it to - Rip-off Britain or what! Quote
Guest THE OLD GAL Posted March 20, 2004 Report Posted March 20, 2004 NIMROD - Thanks for the link. They seem to have a few GALs in so I've mailed them with an inquiry. Looks like a good site - have you used them with any success - anybody? Quote
Guest nimrod Posted March 20, 2004 Report Posted March 20, 2004 I've had a few parts off them, but as I'm local to them I go over and remove the parts I want myself! that way I know how they come out and hopefully go back in :huh: so far i have had a few bits of interior trim and a few switches the largest parts have been the rear light clusters and the light panel off the rear hatch of a Sharan! the smoked black version not the red version Galaxy's normally have, looks a lot better I think :) IIRC a couple of members of the forum have had parts off them, one member had a set of roof rails!

Guest THE OLD GAL Posted March 31, 2004 Report Posted March 31, 2004 Still no joy, only more frustration. NIMROD - your local scrappie basically told me the same as my dealer, at least he was cheaper. FORD, bless'em, wrote me back to tell me " Yep! Your dealer's right. We rang him and asked him. Sorry" This was their Customer Relations Department. Did they really think I hadn't asked them before I'd taken the trouble to write to the Head Office??!!! Quote
