Can anyone help me, I have a 1999 petrol 2 litre auto Galaxy.
I have developed a strange fault in occasionally not engaging the auto box into drive as the switch on the gear lever will not depress?
Any ideas?

Hi all, I have a a Ford Galaxy N reg 2 litre auto. The timing chain has become loose, which was making a right noise!! Whilst driving it, it stopped and now it turns over but won't start!! Has anyone got a idea what it is???

The water leak in the foot wells comes from the seals that cover the door retaining catch between the hinges on both front doors,

Hello.
My 1996 Galaxy has a few problems, but the one I'm most confused about as is the garage is my indicators not flashing, they flash for a few seconds then get stuck on.
The hazards work perfectly okay.
Also a fuse keeps melting, it's in the fuse box behind the battery, it's a 30 amp (or 30 something) I have taken it out now as the garage said it will stop the wired melting, but we have no clue what the fuse is for, everything seems to be okay except the usual window, lights etc and the indicator problem.
The car was LPG'd, could that be a fuse that was put in for that?
Kind regards.

We have just bought a P reg VW Sharan, and we have the water well problem. Thanks to you guys that left comments, hopefully we will be able to fix the problem. We have a few niggly things that need sorting, but need a Haynes manual. Have tried everywhere with no success. Does anyone know where we can get one?
Hi, I have a V reg Sharan, and cleared the drivers foot well of water. Now have it on the passenger side. The problem is the same, although now the car cuts out with no indication it was going to happen, and now only when you rev it, does it start. It cuts out when it idles. Any ideas?

Hi there, reading some of these faults, I wish I never brought this Galaxy. I can't believe the problems that I have yet to experience, and having 5 kids and no money at all doesn't fill me with confidence.
And yes I am currently having my own car troubles.
When the fuel gauge was approaching the red, the car started to kangaroo and pull back whilst driving. We came up with the answer that as it is an R reg, there was probably some muck in the bottom of the tank. So we put some petrol in, but this made no difference and in fact the problem seemed to get worse.
Despite more petrol being added, the car still kangeroos and is now cutting out completely. I have been told that it might be the HT leads.
Can anyone help who may know the correct answer?
This has been extremely helpful as I have recently purchased a second hand Galaxy Aspen 95 2 ltr.
Haven't noticed any water, but have had a problem with one back door not locking properly when central locking. When you lock it, it attempts to lock, but sometimes ends up unlocked, and when unlocking the car, sometimes that door ends up locked, which can sometimes be unlocked from inside and other times gets stuck! I'm going to try the drainholes and check the ECU to see if this solves the problem. I have also found that the front screen mists up and takes forever to clear, but that the heater also takes forever to heat up. I'm wondering if this could also be to do with the ECU?
If anyone has anymore advice or expertise on this please let me know (louiseturner15@btinternet.com).
Once again, thanks all the entries have been so helpful, what a fab website!!
