Amazon Prime got back to me and said this is not the standard of service they expect for their customers, and they are deeply sorry.

Two months of 'free prime' by way of apology. :)

That sounds like a plan.  :y
Tbh it feels like its either really doing me good, or constantly bringing me to the edge of my first heart attack. Time will tell.  ;D
It's doing you good. Every day, when walking the dog, I find a hill. The steepest hill I can find wherever I am. I then walk up it very quickly. If it's a long hill, my heart tries to escape my chest and my legs turn to jelly. But it is good for me, I know that by the shape of other male dog walkers of my age. Half of them are fickin big fat things and the others look like death warmed up.  ;D

All you old boys seem to missing a trick.

Why not work up a sweat with a woman beneath you. Thirty or forty minutes a day will do it.

Also......less chance of catching the dreaded lurgy, or having your dog eat the flesh from your still twitching warm corpse following a heart attack.. :)

The 2.6 isn't that bad, but you only need to back it off the drive to know that it's no 3.2.
Its that bad compared to other Omega engines.  Without any shadow of a doubt the most hopeless of the V6s by some margin. Gutless. Thirsty. And we wont mention stem seals.

What next most hopeless is a toss up between the 2.5 and 3.2, depending on requirements. The 3.2 is a bit quicker but mega thirsty. The 2.5 is frugal, but a little less power.  Irrelevent anyway, as the 3.0 is almost as frugal as the 2.5, and more powerful than the 3.2, thus is the cream of the v6s

That's because your 3.2 has the wrong gearbox  ::)

The gearbox has no impact on engine power. Just how much is lost, and how usable it is.  The auto is actually quicker at some speeds than the really crap, stupid, victorian manual box.

The 3.2 is a dog compared to the 3.0, and the 2.6 is a dog compared to the 2.5.  Caused by penny pinching, nought else.

So given the 3.0 is the most powerful, and pretty much matches the 2.6's economy with the same gearbox, its s no brainer.
