Has anyone tried the methods as in the video with wet and dry and does it buff out with the scratch gone or worse ?

seems a bit pricey to me £27.99 plus £5.00 p&p for what seems no more than g3 cutting compound?

Is that what that past is then ?

I came accross this interesting video, All I'd like to know is it that simple  i'd be worried about using wet and dry in a visible area like the bonnet, bumper etc.. Incase it doesn't buff out  and where can I buy that kit

Another question when in reverse (3.2) it felt like it was struggling to reverse had to give it a fair bit of power, Was a steep hill with a mixed surface but wheels weren't spinning and TC was off, Has been standing a while though 

Was the engine hot?
The autobox ECU is programmed to engage at higher revs when the engine cold. It can feel as though something has broken if you are not expecting it.

It was around 40-60c roughly if i remember correctly..

Probably nothing wrong maybe it just needed a run to slacken off things.

I'd say spot on the money

3.2 Elite's and MV6's ESTATES are getting rare and sought after.  not many about now, esp good examples.

I'd say that's the case with the saloons also when it comes to the (3.2)

Is it just me or is that MV6 is overpriced (unless its a good example its pushing it but ok the way 3.2 prices are going)

And has anyone else noticed that 3.2s seem to be holding their prices pretty well compared to the rest 2.2s 2.6s etc.. Even with petrol prices

This topic brings me back to my first ever question on Omegas 2 odd years ago 

I think it was along of the lines of help my car is overheating its running at 90-95 then the fans kick in, I was kindly informed this was normal running temps for the V6 don't panic it's not going to blow up

I went outside and reeled the hose in on standby 

That's a relief  , As i've barely ever heard my 2.2 fan come on maybe last time was last summer after a 100 mile drive.. And doesn't the Aircon when cold is selected make it work much harder as well I believe ..
