greg_68 Posted July 28, 2006 Report Posted July 28, 2006 Advertising brand new 115 zetec diesels in our paper. Quote
El Dingo Posted July 28, 2006 Report Posted July 28, 2006 Hi Mazz, To confirm, 2.3 is a chain, not a belt. Needs regular oil changes if you do a lot of hanging around - short journeys in the cold, etc. Just MHO. It does look like a Ghia, however, I looked at some far east imports and the spec. is blurry to say the least. Don't let the import business put you off - are you in Ireland? Then you won't mind far east imports, as I know Ireland is full of them! The far east ones sometimes have some wierd colour schemes - bumpers a different colour to the bodywork, and two tone interiors. When you've had a good look at the site, and the reliability issues, you might change your mind about having a Galaxy as a taxi. :) Cheers, Quote
mumof4 Posted July 28, 2006 Report Posted July 28, 2006 I think Neil will beg to differ... :) :D Quote
NikpV Posted July 28, 2006 Report Posted July 28, 2006 is it a zetec ?? there are no radio control stalks on the steering column is this normal the multifunction wheel/column is/was an option on even on a ghia so it would be normal, yes Quote
