Here's my Rant - after 3 months of ownership:

 

Bought my Gal 2.8 V6 Ghia X 4x4 R privately back in July in a rush (needed for the inlaws visiting) - in hindsight I should have had it looked over properly - but here is the story:

 

1) Aircon was not working - prev owner gave me a receipt from 1 month earlier of

Posted

Oh Yes - Forgot to mention:

 

7) Cruise Control was not working - problem was with leaking hoses behind the fron indicator - fixed

Posted

Yippeee - no more leaking heater matrix - THe mechanic literally took all day to sort this out - 9am to 6pm.

 

Now I can reposition my PS2/DVD player just above the passenger footwell without it getting soaked.

 

I can also now tackle problems 2 (need to book in with Ford), and 3 (trace some wires back to the control unit).

All the ones on Ebay are copies :D if they were all originals then every ford workshop in the land would have to stop work as they wouldnt know what they are doing! mind you that could explain a lot :o next time I leave my Galaxy at the dealers I'l leave a copy on the front seat for them :o

del pm your details and I'l see what I do!

Thanks guys... I already have the TIS CD. It is a great help to do some of the little jobs (like topping up the Tranny, and moving the sensor for the external temps, etc).

IT would not have helped with the Air-Con or the Flooding - This site is far more useful than the TIS CD in those cases - unfortunately, I got here when it was too late. i.e. after the flooding. :blink:

In answer to your question, lesmon, it sounds like you've suffered all the classic problems with the Gal and you can now sit back and relax secure in the knowledge that nothing else can possibly go wrong. :o
