Recalls And Design Faults

[Guest the _bed_wrecker]

IS THERE ANY WHERE ON THE NET THAT A FULL LIST OF GALAXY RECALLS AND DESIGN FAULTS ARE LISTED, I KNOW THAT FORD HAD PROBLEMS WITH THERE ECU'S GETTING WATER LOGGED AND WANT TO KNOW IF THERE WAS A FREE FIX OFFERED BY THEM TO STOP THIS. :D

DOES ANYBODY KNOW IF THEY CHANGED THE DESIGN OF THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER BECAUSE ITS SOUND LIKE THE SEALS ON THEM FAIL REGULARY (BREAK PEDAL HITS FLOOR):D

ALSO WHEN MY CAR WONT START - THE FUEL PUMP PRIMES ITS SELF THEN SHUTS OFF. IF I SLAM THE DRIVER5 DOOR HARD ITS THEN STARTS. HAD THE FUSE BOX OUT, TAKEN TO BITS AND REBUILT. IS THERE SOMTHING IN THE DOOR THAT COULD CAUSE THIS.:unsure:

LAST BUT NOT LEAST DOES ANYBODY HAVE A LOADABLE COPY OF A SERVICE MANUAL.

 

cheers

...Blimey! (holding hands over ears) you aren't very happy are you? :D

 

Sounds like the slamming of the door jogs something rather than any wiring in the door, relay stuck perhaps?

possibly dodgey inertia switch in the passenger seat cubby hole tap it with screwdriver handle then push button back down

DVLA site should have details of all recalls, as does the "Honest John" website.

Hi all,

Had the fuse box totally taken apart removed all relays and had the two usual bad relays replaced.

I dont think it is the relays cos if you put ear to the back of the car near fuel tank you can hear the pump turn on to prime the carb then turn off.

 

Have had the inertia switch out and did the bang and reset trick with no avail.

 

I have seen that there is a box under the sterring colum that has had problems with loose wires and there was a recal for it , whats it used for ??

 

Will have a look at the honest john website for any clues.

Also heard that they had problems with ECU earth bonding.
