Galaxy (Ford) Allhambra (Seat) and Sharran (VW) are all the same. If I remember right the diesel versions use a ford engine, all the petrol variants have VW engines.

There is every possibility I have that all back to front.


All engines are VW AFAIK

A long time ago I had a Galaxy when still in the Royal Navy (me, not the car) - N reg - it had a ford diesel engine.

Things may well have changed now of course.

The Mk2 astra's came with both GM and Isuzu diesels the latter was the better engine

The VR6 engine is an internal combustion engine configuration, consisting of six cylinders. It was developed by the Volkswagen Group in the late 1980s, and evolutions of the original variant are still produced by them.

The Isusu was an excellent engine. Much better than the GM one. Went like sh*t off a shovel.

I was going to write "what about Bristol Cars"
I lived only minutes away from their factory for a few years back in the first half of the 00's

Only to have wikipedia tell me that they went in to administration back in 2011.

LTI anyone...

Bristol Cars was bought by Kamkorp, they previously owned Metrocab.... nana nana nana nana..enter the twi.... :twisted:
