First time in 4 years I am without a galaxy. As you know we bought a replacement recently which came with warranty (Good job too!) - The A/C packed up on the way home so I rang the dealer the next day and booked it in for last Friday. Its a bit of a trek as I live in Wiltshire and the Dealership is in Cornwall so we had last week off and took a small holiday down there at the same time. Anyway left the car friday and got it back Saturday with a new condenser and drier assembly, A/C extremely poor but asked to try it over the weekend and see if it recovered (Humm).

 

Basically it didn't so went in again last Friday for a new compressor. Got a call on the Saturday to say the system was full of swarf from the old compressor and they were going to change the expansion chamber before running it up as a precaution. All good except that chamber won't be in until Tuesday. So I've been given a C-Max for the week and I have to say I love it - luckily for the Gal its Stephs car and she prefers it over the max so it'll be staying.

 

So I've had a reasonably eventful week in the world of cars. I'm still happy though despite the inconvenience and the fact I've driven the new fiesta, the new KA and the C-Max in under a week I'm going to have virtually a completely new A/C system fitted by the end of it.

 

And finally I've got out of quite a bit of DIY this weekdn as the max couldn't fit the plasterboard or floorboards in. Excellent! :lol:

yet more numptys who change the bear minimum,and expect the problem to disapear.serves them right for not flushing the system out,probably caused more damage by leaving it?

I ran a Mk1 two litre Galaxy for five years. Then for some reason, had a hankering for a LandRover Discovery so I traded the Gal in. Although I loved the Discovery I really missed the old Gal. So much so, I have just sold the Disco and bought a 2001 Mk2 tdi. I'm having loads of fun getting to know Galaxy again and trawling through the forums for useful hints and tips.
