Thanks, not for me, the guy buying my Elite wants to replace the 16” set that I put on. I sold the 17’s with the TD Estate. If you PM me your contact JD I’ll put him in touch. Thanks Jaime but he wants a set.

Omega General Help / Sunroof problem
« on: 15 November 2020, 12:42:12 »
A keen buyer arrived to buy the 3.2 Elite. He was happy with the car until trying the sunroof, which I probably last opened 5 years ago. It opened OK, but wouldn't close the last 2 inches, and just kept cycling open/partly shut. It wound closed OK on the winding mechanism, and was quite stiff to close the last bit. Is this likely to be lubrication required somewhere? 
He's still having the car at the asking price, and left a deposit to pick the car up next weekend, and I would like to have the roof operating OK by then.

I’m still none the wiser. Why don’t people like s/s. It works perfectly for me.

I didn't realise you only have to buy an ordinary battery if you don't use the start/stop. Worth knowing.

Remind me why I shouldn’t like start/stop? It works perfectly on the Mondeo. For interest I’ve tried quick starts with it on and off (engine idling), and it starts so quickly there is no discernible difference. I don’t see the problem, unless you are a permanent traffic light drag racer like TB.

That's actually down to appropriate airflow in and out of the house.
Doubtful, as we used to get it with DG.

Cars for Sale & wanted / Re: Wtd - 2.5 diesel auto
« on: 04 November 2020, 07:17:09 »Thanks for the advice so far! Is that the same box on the 2.2D as well? I'll be honest, I've never looked at anything diesel or auto in my life. I will mosey into the info pages for a read.
Is it worth going for a diesel at all? I've tried to explain the virtues of a V6 but he's a bit too worried about mpg, even though I get 35 on a run...
My 2.5TD wasn’t particularly frugal, best I got was 33 on a run and 28 locally, in 19 years of ownership. Mind you my 2.0l petrol Mondeo is no better.

The TD has an AR25 by default, barely strong enough esp once chipped. Sold my lovely TD estate plus fitted AR35 2 years ago.

A couple of sweaty work outs and it will take it's place next to the never used sandwich toaster.
