Guest mitchell20 Posted October 15, 2004 Report Posted October 15, 2004 Just registered as with child number 4 due in a fortnight, I'm hoping to buy an 04 1.9 TDI Zetec in the next few days. Any advice on (Galaxy specific) things to check operation of/watch out for would be appreciated. Thanks. Quote
GalMan Posted October 15, 2004 Report Posted October 15, 2004 Scanning through the forum will give you an idea of what sort of things may happen to the Galaxy, and what to expect from dealers etc. You'll find that Air Con problems and oil spec used by dealers seem to be most prevalent. The most important thing though is to enjoy the car rather than think of things that will go wrong. Enjoy. Galman Quote
markie Posted October 15, 2004 Report Posted October 15, 2004 Great car - lots of room - you want be disappointed (hopefully) ! Quote
Ivor_E_Tower Posted October 15, 2004 Report Posted October 15, 2004 Try to find the extra money to get a Ghia instead of a Zetec :D Quote
Tigger Posted October 15, 2004 Report Posted October 15, 2004 I woukld second that if at all possible get a ghia. We looked at a zetec. but after a little thought went for the ghia. I am suprised how much I use the Cruise Control use it ervery journey so relaxing to drive. Extras like elect back windows Cruise trip computer and so on are great! Whatever you get I think you will enjoy driving the old bus :D The TDi is so good pulling a heavy car with great MPG Quote
markie Posted October 16, 2004 Report Posted October 16, 2004 Try to find the extra money to get a Ghia instead of a Zetec :D Or get a Seat Alhambra SE, which has at least same spec as Ghia, for less Quote
Guest Paulus1978 Posted November 9, 2004 Report Posted November 9, 2004 If you're going for the Ghia, look at putting about Quote
Guest nelse Posted November 9, 2004 Report Posted November 9, 2004 I've got a zetec and wish i'd have hung on for a ghia, originally was going to buy a ghia but ford direct lost it, couldn't source another similar, saved over Quote
gasman79 Posted August 4, 2007 Report Posted August 4, 2007 Go ahead and buy a Galaxy,i`ve had 2 over the last 5 years and they are great .I`ve had a mk1 1.9td1 110 Zetec and a mk2 1.9 115 GHIA both great but believe me I would always go for a Ghia because the spec and trim level is a real step up,my newer 03 plate is giving me air con problems but I think that is par for the course.Don`t worry ,enjoy your car because once you have bought one you will wonder how you ever managed with a normal car for space and load capacity.

Don't know about mitchell20 but this thread has done me a power of good - I've just purchased my first Galaxy and yes, I went for a Ghia - largely because it had integrated child seats, invaluable for my twin grandsons. Sadly, I've not yet had the car - it is in Spain (where it will stay) - but will probably find loads to chat about when I take possession. Thanks to one and all for their input over the past months - you have filled me with pleasure, terror, anticipation and lust. Now I'm about to face 'realisation'! Quote
