Firstly let me explain myself :o I'm posting this on behalf of my Mrs's old man who has a 1997 Ford Galaxy and is after some help, thought i'd try here before i sign up to a Ford site. Pics will maybe explain better so here they are, it's in bits as you can see! The bits: Inside...

28 dead for me, not too happy with that.

Looking @ a R26, been considering one for a while but then again i'd like to get away from a Reno just for a change! Also considering a Golf ED30 or dare i say a Corsa VXR! quite like 'em.

I take it there's no geeks on here then who can help!

Any computer whizzkids out there who can help me pretty please! I'm trying to do a clean install of WinXP but my drive aint working at all, ejects and that's it. There is no sign of it in device manager either, im very confused. It's a Fujitsu amilo laptop if that makes a difference...

I'd say it deffo is 99% certain the car is revving i hear and feel it through my right foot, as to the speed increasing or not, it's hard to say as it barely lasts long enough to notice. I would say though, it seems as though the car takes over for that split sec. New clutch is it if it's due...

Wheelspinning, no. It is fine driving 'normally' ie, not putting the foot to the floor.

Any revs and any speed! very strange, although not in 1st gear i have noticed. I can be cruising in say 2nd gear or 3rd then boot it to the floor and it will rev on it's own for a sec then carry on as before. I would take it in but it's out of warrenty - just, only done 20k aswell.

when i boot it and put my foot on the gas - all the way to the floor it then suddenly revs up on it's own WTF!! only does it now and again for half a sec or so but it's beginning to annoy me now. Any ideas? Cheers.

Will do, just been out to get some Wet & Dry and some more Primer hopefully should have some results over the weekend.

Righty ho, ta. Surface is perfect apart from the kerbage areas, just got me thinking when i read that.

I'd just like to make sure about this point as i've just read this on another forum. Here's the quote. "Rub over the entire front face of the wheel... including every single nook and cranny with the 240 grit wet and dry paper. You will notice when and area is 'ready' as the surface will...

Oh right! so are mine, so no harm done anyway.

Defo put pics up when done. Just put the 1st coat of primer on looks good already! I did cover the centre up with cardboard aswell but i dont remember why, is it something to do with the wheel nuts possibly coming loose? i read something somewhere!!

Ok cheers, thought i must have been doing something wrong!

MRBILLYUK, confession time... i am using that as my main guide, saved and printed out next to me! Ok so i would only need to sand down the kerbed/scratched areas? no need to take all the paint off even though i will be completely priming and painting the whole wheel. I am a bit thick...

There are no scratches, it's very very smooth at the mo just taking absolutely ages to do. Nitro-mors is tempting but think i'll give that a miss! I've got an orbital sander but water and electric dont mix.

Decided to refurb my 182 alloys myself but now wishing i hadnt lol! Got a few questions. Firstly, it has took me about 30mins just to wetsand this using 280 grit, do you have to 100% get every last bit of the old paint off?? taking me ages!!! Here's a pic: I've looked a the...
