With a lot of googling I've answered my own question, and will post the answer in case anyone else stumbles across this. The Galaxy CO2 emissions were reduced with revisions introduced 2012. So older 163ps (and 140ps) manuals are in Band G at £175, newer ones are in Band F at £140. Interestingly all are Euro 5 compliant and there is no change in performance, so possibly a lightly revised engine map. This can be seen by putting different aged cars into here and then checked against an old brochure.

First of all, I'm new here - hello! I am in the process of buying one of the Mk3 2.0ltr manual diesels. Whilst looking at the V5C of a 11 reg 163ps at an independent dealer I noticed that the CO2 emissions were stated as 152g/km rather than the 149g/km that I was expecting (or the 143g/km from the link pinned in this forum to the specifications). This raises the car up a tax band and would cost me an extra £35 a year. The tax disc confirms that the previous owners have been paying the higher rate. The dealer has agreed to investigate the issue on my behalf, but I am sceptical how far they will get. So the question is; what does everyone else pay for their 163ps manual, and does anyone else have CO2 stated as 152g/km?
