I have a 55 plate Galaxy Ghia, 150bhp,  and need to identify the type of the original equipment alarm system. 

 

eg Ford 40, oor 10T, or 20T, or 40T. or Ford 100, 200, or 300  etc.

 

The alarm system is fully functioning, I just need to identify the type.

 

Alternatively, any indication/proof that the origianl alarm was Thatcham Cat 1 (w.r.t to the Thatcham Cat 1 that applied at the time of manufacture as these  alarms were generally delisted in 2007) would be useful.

 

Any help would be much appreciated.

 

Regards

go to  www.fordetis.com,

then type in your reg no and on the options list it should be able to tell you what alarm is fitted to your car.

Following your advice I followed the link to "etis" and under the vehicle details it included  "with anti theft alarm fitted". 

 

I could not find further details - are these only available to etis subscribers ?  (Subscription is 50 euro)

It may require accessing the alarm module, the manufacturers plate may well state the model type, alternatively interrogation with VAG-com might bring up the specs of the module. Failing that, there's a chance if you went into Ford parts and got them to look up the applicable module for your car it MAY say in the description which model it is. Unfortunately I cannot tell you where the module is physically located on the MK2 Galaxy.

Thanks for your reply, for my Galaxy it is in the expanded list of minor features that it simply says ' with anti theft alarm fitted' and I can't dig deeper ( assuming that etis members get more info) .

 

I will follow insanitybeard's suggestion and see if my simple VAG-COM will reveal anything ( I normally it only use if for error codes) and I shall have a look in the fuse panel area for any id's if that is where the alarm module is hidden.
