Guest anaso_nic Posted June 20, 2005 Report Posted June 20, 2005 Hi, I posted an entry here a long time ago (can't find it now, guess it's been deleted) about the petrol smell we get in the Gal after a short time. Only happens with the windows open and takes a little while until it's noticable. Previous posting received excellent suggestions for where to look - the carbon box under the driver's wheel arch - which I did. However then it came to a stop 'cos there was nothing obvious missing or disconnected. On this visit I spotted a posting by a1galaxy on Jan 23rd at 18:56 titled "Petrol Smell" which has a reply from vr6galaxy suggesting the carbon box again (btw vr6galaxy, I hope you're happy! I had to explain the lady massaging her breasts to my 5 year old daughter! Thanks!). I'm hoping the Ford TIS CD or DVD will detail what should be there, as I'm convinced it's just something that was left off after a service several years ago. But when I look on ebay I'm slightly (a lot!) bewildered as to which one I want. Anybody got any advice? Please? Off to Brittany in August and I'd love to get this sorted once and for all. Also, off topic I know, but anyone self-fitted a Towequipe towbar to a Gal? Mine's a '96 basic Aspen model and I'd be interested in difficulty level. May your skies be clear and your road be open. Thanks in advance Nick Quote

Guest MATT Posted June 21, 2005 Report Posted June 21, 2005 not sure if this is any good? it mentions 'Galaxy' and Galaxy 95 onwards in the wiring part. i would suggest -emailing him, and asking him. there are tis users on this forum (ime not one of them yet) maybe another member could help.

Guest anaso_nic Posted June 23, 2005 Report Posted June 23, 2005 Thanks Matt. When I got there, this item had closed but I did some more delving and then thought "What the hell!" and ordered a Quote
Guest MATT Posted June 23, 2005 Report Posted June 23, 2005 when did they stop making the 2.0i or haven't they? something to note, Many of our fellow members, say, that mechanically the galaxy's are very similar (MKI and MKII) MATT Quote
Guest anaso_nic Posted June 23, 2005 Report Posted June 23, 2005 when did they stop making the 2.0i or haven't they? Sorry MATT, I'm a bit of a wuss when it comes to car details, the father-out-law gets quite concerned when I admit to not knowing the mpg <_< "Oh, I just put petrol in when it gets close to the red, that's when I don't forget and run out!", more often than not it's the missus who points out we're nearly empty. something to note, Many of our fellow members, say, that mechanically the galaxy's are very similar (MKI and MKII) Most technical references quote "'95> including 2000 facelift", am I right guessing that '95 to '99 are MKI and 2000 onwards are MKII? Seller of DVD on ebay quoted "Galaxy" and "Galaxy 2000" on list of models covered, so hopefully I'll be alright! Quote
