1998 VW Alhambraxy or something. Ouch.

[DoctorRetro]

I know it has Ford badges on, but I refuse to believe it is a Ford, as I don't do Fords! 

 

Feel free to joke about how long I'll keep it or when I'll paint the wheels etc

 

Actually very impressed so far, it's much bigger than I even expected. (That's what shes said too  )

[hairnet]

its a sharalambralaxy

[Timewaster]

I've had mine 6 years and I've not found a Ford component yet.

It's a PassatMax

Like the Travivastar vans

[Lankytim]

I was hunting one of these a while back and found that every one within my budget was totally clapped out. I'd love a go in a fairly smart one.

youre buying one off trig???

[DoctorRetro]

Would be so funny if this was the one car I fell for and kept forever...

Although the result of the Multipla roffle could change everything.

[DoctorRetro]

OK. Less than 48 hours in and the knocking drop link(s) are annoying me. 

Anyone know if they are easy enough to do?

The passenger side one was done in the week but I noticed afterwards the drivers side started to rattle a bit....I was going to change it too but it was bank holiday and I couldn’t get one...

The links are less than a tenner and are fifteen minutes to change

Phew. Just seen them on ebay 12 quid for a pair. That puts my mind at rest - I'd hear that Fords are notorious for eating suspension components. 

I'm no mechanic, but I can handle that. I even have a ball joint splitter. 

Oddly though, it sounds like the sound is coming from the passenger side. ?

 

Besides that minor thing, it's a great car. I'm treating it to a valet today, and I'll be going round it with some t-cut when I get a chance. 

I do feel like I got the better end of the deal.... 

[NorthernMonkey]

I haven’t seen the 320 yet so I couldn’t comment but as long as your happy with it and it does you and your lad good service, then I’m more than happy with the deal, honestly ?

[stuboy]

Brilliant motors, it only 115bhp 1.9tdi but does surprise many when they think its a mummy bus..

You shouldn't need a ball joint splitter! It's just bolt off bolt on.

[Cavcraft]

It's fucked M8, £99 if you deliver it.

Yes it's based on a Passat B4 platform but the 4 cylinder petrol versions of the Galaxy use Ford engines and gearboxes.

Why have a 7 seater with only one child? 

Ask the child..... 

[The Moog]

And how does he like it??

"Dad... This is the best car you ever had" 

"I love this car" 

Etc.. 

[Cavcraft]

Is he allowed to drink at that age??

 

Can you send me some pictures of the seats please? Just wanted to know if they're the same as mine, so I can buy more numbers for it for Wednesday's draw!
