General Car Chat / Re: Adivce I need

No mate, decided with my head rather than heart, it's too far, and too much of a risk to go all that way.

Sounds like the best option mate

Agreed, what you already have should be the easier sale

General Car Chat / Re: 04 Omega Bargain? certainly of interest...

« on: 10 February 2011, 23:38:01 »

8-)Way overpriced ,i paid £1995 for my 1 owner 2.6 CDX 52,000 mile 1 owner fsh from a main dealer in December 2010, had been up for £2995 for about 8 weeks with no interest whatsoever,  & the V6s are without doubt in a class of their own in my opinion, i get 30mpg easily.

Really? what at 60 on the motorway?

manual v6's are good on fuel so long as you don't drive em like you stole em 

mines auto and isn't

Some great stats there, I need an LPG Omega in my life

With the price we can get the kit for (see link in signature!) it's actually quite a viable option

Bloody right, esp as I've just had to fill the Elite with petrol. I don't think I'll walk normal again after the pain of that

I had one in last week,couldn't get to grips with the automated manual box though,found it strange to drive as it doesn't slur its changes like a proper auto.Its like driving a manual with someone else changing gear

General Car Chat / Re: EBC braking... made in UK

« on: 06 February 2011, 23:16:23 »

Hmm never had a set of EBC discs that lasted more than 4k without warping, however that was on my carlton24v which always got driven very very hard!! so hopefully they have improved since then!!! I went back to Delph discs after that and never had a problem even on track days

my local factor stocks delphi discs and I have fitted hundreds of them but not had any come back with issues

either the sensor itself or the wiring to it,as its the only code stored its a good place to start
