Magic

no i found the wires that went to the rear door speakers and brought them through to the boot .
i never even considered there might be wires there as i assumed the bose wiring would be different anyway . wires are now in and ready anyway !

Wurlitzer

Get a tiger between you, it will deter domestic cats and dogs of all breeds from depositing faecal matter randomly around your gardens, mm.. thinking about it that could be a bigger problem as it would probably defecate at a greater magnitude and who’s going to stop it🐯🐯

Finding out[not the hard way fortunately]that someone or more than one has allowed their dog to crap four times on my back garden and not bothered clearing it up.

Don't invite them back

We have the same issue with cats. Not having a dog to chase them out of the garden really doesn't help

Possibly a diseasal thing

The AC lines are a bit of a nuisance where they run along the chassis rail and around the front panel.

Ok, it's a 2.0 one, but...

You could change ethe alternator through that gap

Air fares, still stupid money, lol.

Given the choice is between accepting it or going to Skeggy, I ain't got a lot of choice really.

I know I never disconnected anything on the V6 except for the trans cooler on facelift cars.

My memory is a bit vague, but fairly certain it was a later car where the A/C lines came over the top of the rad, unlike most Omegas where they a re to the side of the rad.  It was one of those moments the first time I saw it when you had to ask what GM designers were smoking, seeing as they had previously managed to do it perfectly well.

Its not a common setup, but I've seen it on more than 1 Omega.

As said, dead easy check for OP to make, as if it does, it makes the job more difficult if you want working A/C after.

I know I never disconnected anything on the V6 except for the trans cooler on facelift cars. There's probably enough scope to leave the trans cooler lines attached on the 4 pot. Another consideration is that the 2.2 is a facelift only engine

Can't recall if I changed the radiator on my last 2.2 estate, I probably did given all the other work I did to it, but again nothing stood out as being exceptional 

I think the 4 pot radiator is a smidge narrower than the V6 one as well, so finagling it in and out should be much easier.
It only needs lifting far enough to get the rubber blocks out and be able to lift the pegs over the back of the upper mount so you have easier access to the condenser/trans cooler bolts... They both stay in situ.

You mean you found the wires pre installed near the shelf ?
