    The fly wheel on our Ford Galaxy is going /gone, and will need replacing. It's an issue with them apparently. 11 reg ,90 k miles on the clock.
    Would you replace it (and approx cost of this please!!! ), and poss looking at timing belt and so on too. Or get rid and get a newer one. Thanks

    Clutch and flywheel presuming its a 1.8 tdci would be the guts of a grand with an independant mechanic.
    Timing belt about seven hundred for wet belt you should be safe enough with the belt if the car was looked after previously till about 120k.

    Thanks. It's the 1.6 version.
    I'm not sure what to do. The car I'm looking at has 50 k miles in it, so I'm only really kicking the can down the road.

    Clutch and flywheel is about the same timing belt would be a lot cheaper though.
    If the car is not giving any other trouble i wouldnt be replacing it because of those jobs they are only routine maintenance really.
