Sounds like a CV joint would be my first point of call. Was it the joint replaced or just the boot? Is it/they split again or come adrift?

agreed,sounds like cv joint gone,I know you have records of boot replacement but depends how long car was driven with them gone

I always liked the senators,I would swap the mig for a tidy 24v in a heartbeat

That's the problem though, 'tidy' ones are pretty much non existent.

My mate traveled up to Yorkshire (from Bristol) to buy one the other week after viewing several other shitboxes.  This one is in good condition when you consider the age of the car, but it still needs a couple of arches and a new sill welded in, not to mention silly little things like the seat height adjusters freeing up and the like.

They are fetching strong money nowadays.  A true Modern Classic in my eyes.

and I had a Senator parked next to the omega that succeded it. I knew I should've got shut of the Omega when it died on me after a fortnight of ownership - crank sensor/DIS pack - and I'd just been told of the looming redundancy. What I paid for the Omega would have easily sorted the paint & sills that the Senator needed.
C'est la vie!   

I have looking on tinterweb this afternoon,there ain't many about for sale

I have a 2.5 auto and went to Devon on hols last year and averaged 29.3 mpg. that was a combination of motorways there and back and a week of driving along small lanes and B roads. I was pleasantly supprised.  

thats pretty good

you need to take a grinder to the rust and get rid of it completely to make it last,means more filler work though
