Title: Hi all.
Post by: Marneus on 17 October 2018, 11:14:00

Hi Everyone.

My name is Jamie & I’ve just bought a 2000 pfl 2.5 manual saloon.
Just over 77,000 miles, velvet green & really good condition.

I’ll post some pictures once I figure out how to do this from my phone & will probably have many questions once I start playing with it.

Cheers

Hi Jamie & welcome  :)

Looking forward to seeing pics of your recent acquisition. If it's a 2000 registered model, then I doubt it's a PFL. :y

Thanks Tick Tock...... It’s definitely a pre facelift as I wouldn’t have bought it otherwise, I’m not a fan of the facelift cars.

The only reason I bought this is that it’s manual, a V6 and pfl. Will get pics up once I figure out how  :y

Nice looking car, but not a PFL  :-\ It's what we would refer to as a mini facelift, old style body trim but with enhancements.

http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=20820.0  should help to ease the confusion so often talked about.

Once again, thanks Tick Tock. I didn’t even know about the mini facelift thing, I just thought there was facelift & pre facelift.

I do like this one though, I’m hoping all is good underneath when I get it home &  onto the lift... Then I can start upgrading it in time for our family holiday to the south of France next year.

Those look like the original alloys, as I had on my '99 MFL TD. Didn't like them though, and swapped as soon as.  Also they were difficult to clean properly.
Nice looking car. :y
I must agree about the looks, I preferred the dash etc. on my MFL to the one on my FL. :y

Thanks for the welcome everyone.
Hopefully I’ve got a couple of days off next week to have a proper assessment then no doubt I will have many questions  ;D

Hola! Welcome to the forum  :y

Nice colour. Mfl is still my favourite of the three.
