It may also be misfiring, often due to a coil pak or ignition lead breaking down (check for signs of sparking or discharge tracking damage)

Those are the ignition leads - you can get replacements from dealers (expensive), motor factors inc Halfords or plenty online places e.g. GSF,Eurocarparts etc and on ebay. My personal preference would be to use my local GSF carparts.

 

google "Ford Galaxy Ignition lead"
