 If you get on well and know the garage that will do the MOT, could ask them what the reputation of the sellers is like. I would love a 159 estate as they look so nice. Had a Sud years ago, mental little car

  As you are going with the stainless nut and bolt method of refixing the heat shields, are your bolts long enough to consider putting the bolt through from the inside, bolting uo tight then fitting the heat sheild and putting on another nut so as to not require removing the carpets i the future if you ever need to remove the sheilds again DBG?

  Service history helps if its been reguarly maintained. Sold my Carlton GSI manual with 375k on it and still driving perfectly. It made way for the superior FL model Omega I bought

Omega General Help / Re: HeadLight Dulled

« on: 27 September 2014, 10:46:20 »

  i did the 1200 grit and then the 2000 grit (superfine) sand and G3 polish on mine. Took about 15 minutes a lamp. SWMBO has a Hyundai that was bad as well, used same method on that with same good results. Just take your time and dont panic when you see the lens completly white after sanding, the polish will bring it back to clear quite quickly

  Used to be that all seat belts had to conform to a BS statute. All bolts would have the same thread size, some longer than others. Dont konw if this is still the case with all the EU conformaty nowdays. If it is the same, could be that the differant part numbers may be differant head size and length

  I sold it to make way for the Monza. New owner was torn between Omega and Rover75. He has since had gearbox problem that I assume is sorted. I did include an AR35 in the sale ready for the upgrade with chip
