1996 Ford Galaxy GLX review from UK and Ireland
"Very good for my use and needs"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Dear All
Please can anyone help with this problem as I have just become the owner of an otherwise cared for Ford Galaxy 96. It was whilst visiting the west country (Plymouth) that we had a flood into the car via the passenger foot well. My wife (bless her) stopped the ECU from being damaged by moping up all the water as it appeared and keeping the under seat compartment dry from behind the passenger seat. We went to a multi-story car park to stay out of the rain and clear up the water. I had heard of the problem from the Internet just the day before so we new the risks. The rain however did not stop and we were forced to go back out into the rain, but surprise we got no more water in? I know this may happen again and I am determined to keep this Galaxy (so are my children) but I have yet to find the Drain holes or be able to reduce the risk of re-occurrence. Can anyone give me advice with this or photographs showing the exact location of the drains. Please help and if possible I will pass on any remedy/photos. Do ford yet recall on this problem?
Regards
Alan
