I had the same problem in the summer. New switch fitted under warranty cured it. http://www.ffoc.co.uk/modules.php?name= ... c&t=165738

New lock fitted under warranty. Lock works fine now. Barry

Correct. but if one button on my remote has failed, chances are the other might too. If that happens then i can't open the boot. Barry

As i said in my first post. It wont open with the key. Barry

Maybe but how do i open the boot if my remote fails? Barry

I've started having problems with my tailgate lock.The only way i can unlock it is by using the seperate button on the remote. Before it would unlock when unlocking the doors. It wont unlock when using the key. Yet it locks when using the remote to lock all the doors. It's still under warranty so i'll have to book it in. Barry

You need to remove the drvers side front wheel and then remove the liner. then you can get at the pump and washer bottle. Barry.

That the trouble, the pump sounds as if it's working but doesn't push any water out. I wouldn't be suprised if they had just fitted a new pump so you should be okay now. (sorry, but i don't have a lot of faith in main dealers,) A mate at work has had the EGR prolem fixed 5 times now and they told him he was making too many short journeys ( it's 5 miles to work for him)and should go the long way home. :lol: :lol: :lol: Barry

Personally i think you been conned. When it happened to me they suggested the same but i removed and checked the pump before i took it in so i new it was not blocked.I know ot 3 people who have had the pump replaced, All the same problem, first the rear stops working and the front get worse until it's useless. The dealer told me they had fitted an improved one as they have had a lot of pump failures. Barry

A common problem. A new pump is required and is covered under warranty. I had mine done a few weeks ago. Barry

I own a 2.0 TDCI ultima. I'm not overkeen on the electric handbrake but i can live with it. The automatic wipers are next to useless. And after you wash/wipe the screen you always get that annoying little dribble so you have to wipe them a couple of times more. Apart from that i enjoy driving the car. Barry

All sorted now. Pump replaced under warranty. Barry

Just a reminder to check your alloys. Decided to remove my alloy wheels today to give the a good clean on the inside. It's 12 months since they were last removed (during service) The nuts came off easily enough but the wheel was stuck fast due to corrosion. It took a fair few taps with a rubber mallet before they came off. If the car had just been up on the supplied jack i don't think i would have got them off, as the car was up on axle stands i could exert a fair amount tapping and rocking. If i'd have been out on the road i don't think i would have been able to change a wheel. A smear of cop

Just seen this on ebay. Interesting reading. Barry http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FORD-MONDEO-GALAX ... dZViewItem

I've not had chance to investigate any further but the front washers have now lost pressure and are hardly reaching the screen. As the car is due its second service in a few weeks i spoke to my local dealer who said it may be the filter thats blocked or it may be the pump. The pump would be covered by warranty but if it was just a blocked filter that would be chargable. How easy is it to get to the water bottle to check for myself. Barry

My C max has the single Sony cd fitted and now the cold weather has set in it's started resetting itself every time i start the car. Now i know there's a fix for this and will get it done when i get some spare time but while setting the time i also have to reset the date. But, the date is never displayed normally. Is there a way to turn this on as i don't have any instructions. Barry

My rear washer isn't working. I can hear the pump running but no water is coming out, the water level doesn't fall so it's not just a dissconnected pipe. The front is fine. Any ideas. Barry

I'm not happy with mine either. Sometimes they work fine other times they don't. Given a choice i would prefer the variable intermittent system. Barry
