Unusual Difference on Galaxy 2.3

I was at a Galaxy meetup on Saturday. Three of us had 2.3's the other guys had MK1's and looking at their engines I saw that they have Coil on plug like the scorpio's. My MK2 Galaxy has a coil pack mounted at the right hand ( rear ) of the engine. I can think of no good reason other than cost for reverting to a coil pack.. Must have been the influence of the Germans at VW. TT

| hi there i think you'll find that the silver estate in question is back to near normal! still has vauxhall plugs and yellow/blue tape (hidden under grey plastic cable tubing), though. not sure about bikerdon's though. it might have a coilpack on the side now.

Well it did have a coil on the side for a while, but it's back to standard again. Electrics sorted now. Will get parts back to you shortly scorpio_man.
