I have another thread on here regarding an issue with my car, just looking for some opinions if its a common fault, and if anyone else has experienced it, at what mileage it occured, how old the car was etc.
The fault is the driveshaft stripping its splines, resulting in no drive. I want to find out if its a common issue, the dealer is trying to avoid paying for repair using fair wear and tear, age and mileage of the car (51 reg 130k) as an excuse.
So, can anyone help?

 

Had two galaxy's and have never heard of them stripping drive shaft splines you could try the fgoc ford galaxy forum for any advice as well

 

I have heard of it before, normally the inner stub that go's into the diff. It would be decent of them to get it sorted or at least offer half of the cost

 

Very common issue with them, recovered loads of them and replaced loads of the drive flanges/stubs and intermediate shafts when I worked for a Seat dealer.

Dead easy job to do as well.

 

common problem as said easy job as said but parts are exspensive done lots from working in ford dealership

 

The trader I bought the car from has offered to cover half the cost, bloody glad they have as well, otherwise I'd be looking at nearly Ł600! They hadn't planned on getting the work done, but the garage they took it to diagnosed the problem then took it upon themselves to fix it, thinking it was a car off the forecourt and not a customers car.

 

Didnt the newer diesel ones have problems with the injectors.
