Guest bassman Posted November 15, 2006 Report Posted November 15, 2006 hi folks, As a neewbie to Galaxy owning, would just like to ask what era does each 'mark' cover?ie when did mk1 become mk 2 etc. what and when was the 'facelift' cheers Ray Quote
Guest blatters Posted November 15, 2006 Report Posted November 15, 2006 Ray, The MkII was launched on the X-plate (2001?). There are a very small number of extremely late W-plate models on MkII. The MkII is a major upgrade on the earlier MkI. Revised interiors, gearboxes and diesel engines made for a real leap forward. Revised light clusters front and back gave the car a more modern appearance. In 2002 there was a futher revision to the MkII. You can spot these because they have hollow head restraints to improve rear mirror vision. In 2004 there was a final revision with slight changes to front grille, driving lamp surrounds and rear light clusters - not much really. 130bhp diesel appears. Regards. Blatters Quote
Guest bassman Posted November 15, 2006 Report Posted November 15, 2006 Thanks blatters. much appreciated Ray Quote

Guest HairyPlateEater Posted November 15, 2006 Report Posted November 15, 2006 Or try www.parkers.co.uk where they have detailed info about the models and very detailed pdf factsheets to download for Quote
Andrew T Posted November 15, 2006 Report Posted November 15, 2006 (edited) To add a little confusion, early Mk2s (Aug 00 to around mid '01) had a slightly different spec'; Headrests without holes in, smaller dia' brakes and crucially, a 2 point static lap strap for the middle seat.

My 2001 X reg early MKI was reg in Jan 01.Built in May 2000.(as far as i am aware)..My head rests dont have holes in..and the middle seat has a lap belt. Quote
Guest blatters Posted November 15, 2006 Report Posted November 15, 2006 Mum of 4, I take it you mean your "early Mark II". I had the same model on an X-plate. Like you, it had full head restraints and only a lap belt for the middle row centre seat. The other thing that it had was metal grab handles on the front doors. They were painted and scratched quickly. The later model had colour coded plastic handles that didn't scratch. The early metal ones can look unsightly. Regards Blatters Quote
Andrew T Posted November 15, 2006 Report Posted November 15, 2006 Sorry that was a typo. I did mean headrests without holes. Do I recall rightly that yours had the larger brakes though Blatters? Quote
