Well when you put it like that Al......    Although there was the high cab version, so similar difference to a FM and FH. 

I never had the pleasure of living in one, just the odd day out.

 Volvo own Reno. Renos use Volvo running gear with bespoke Reno software.

paccar own kenworth and peterbilt and some other brands in USA, they own DAF the best selling long truck in Europe.
 and the difference between living in a Volvo a Reno and a DAF is like night and day.
 Volvo/reno are small cramped etc (a terraced house) a DAF is like a country mansion,with comfy seats.

And don't even bother with them other Swedish Bedfords  Truck driving worlds equivalent of the boy racer.

Paccar supply Volvo with the FL cab and Renault with the Premium...

A high cab Cf is an ok place to spend a week, provided it's not full of ten years worth of crud/rust...

.
that cab DAF supply volvo/reno is the LF cab.
The CF space cab has the same cupboard pack as the XF superspace, but a smaller bed due to the narrower cab, still more room in a CF than a Volvo FH.

as a ps "did they make reno's new"

The Volvo FL is a hybrid 🐕... Cab by daf, chassis by volvo and gearbox by renault.

Shoud have called it Muttley

Depends entirely on your needs and wants, whether you change or not!

I did and haven't looked back.
I'm on my 3rd blue oval, soot chucker, and none have given me any grief apart from wear and tear items.

My current version, is a 2.2 TDCi, and can easily achieve mid 30's around town, and late mid 40's on a run.
I recon on a good motorway run it could see 50 mpg.

I say I recon as I live about 200 miles from the nearest motorway, at present.

[Agemo]

Hi Keith, yes I saw your advert & thought "Hmmm". The old girl has just gone through another MOT, so I will keep the "Devil you know" until I see something I fancy.

omegas are for life not just for xmas-mines done 254000 and would get rid of mrs first -but i am mad-

[Grrrrrr]

One thing's for certain, I've driven quite a few cars lately and there's not much out there with as much kit, as good a ride and as reliable as an Omega. Not at the price. Only thing close is the Jaguar S-type and I'm not convinced of the reliability, particularly the 4.0l lump!

[omega3000]

Stick with Omega , simples

yep anything else is gay-yes they break/leak /spit/growl/moan---they got something very few cars have and that is soul

[TheBoy]

Downside of the Omega TD is some muppet paired it with GMs autobox. A poor combo that saps power and mullers MPG. A manual one achieve much better MPG, if you can tolerate the 1850s manual box
