you make answering very difficult because you do not give specific information
the excel comes in ser X1 (1985-1989), X2(1990-1995), X3(1994-2000) depending on the year
the engine capacity is missing so 1.3 LT engines are single over head cam and 1.6LT engines are double head cam
to make matters worse
the 1.3LT ( engine family G4EH) is single over head cam
the 1.5 Lt ( G4EK is a SOHC
the 1.5LT ( G4FK) is a DOHC
and the 1.6LT( G4ED) is a DOHC
Now you can see the difficulty in giving you a definitive answer
Why don't you simply ring the shop and ask them to check for you

gumtree.com or the dealer.

yes. usually, the VIN gives the engine type. refrences may be hard to find, however

have a look on previous rego papers

there are only 3 bolts/nuts holding the alternator onto the engine,slacken off all 3 then remove belt/refit new,
then using a long bar wedged behind the alternator,do up the adjusting bolt first so that the longest run of the belt has about 1/2 inch slack(both ways)then do up the two remaining bolt/nuts,thats it done.(do check the tension after about 100 miles)

For the 3.8L:
Firing Order:
1-6-5-4-3-2

Cylinders:
(back of engine)
2--------4---------6
1--------3---------5
Ignition Connections:
(back)

I believe that they count tehse cylinders starting from the fly wheel side of the engine!
