I can't think of much worse, bar the LSD, and no comment on the brakes due to not trying them.

Manual? Specifically an Omega manual? Behave.
Estate? I think not!
Plod suspension? Really?
GY Ass F1s? Definitely not!
Elite leather? Have you been drinking?


We all know the ideal car is:
Omega saloon
3.0l auto with v9 s/w
LSD
MFL, obviously, but FL style satnav/CID
Elite toys
Elite cloth seats, or MV6 cloth as 2nd choice
Better suspension, particularly Irmscher front, to get rid of the awful high speed understeer every Omega has
Dunlop Sport Maxx TT in 235/45/17 guise on all 4 corners


Given the lack of TTs, will have to be RTs :(

Wrong! AAAAAALLLLLLL WRRRRRRROHONGGGGG. ::) (oh siiiiigh)

What IS this fascination with Rusty Old pre face lifts?

Face lift Elites are far superior than all other models. You know it. I know it. We all know it. Accept it and move on. ;D

(..... Er well, except the suspension and seats of course. Bin those they're shit. ;D

....rust free (comparatively) no Simpsons top lip look from the bonet. No rusty doors, creaky door pockets, bubbling up arm rest with bits of foam falling out eveytime you lift the lid.

  Mv6 leather drivers seat mated to Elite base and motors.(one day ;D )
 2015 with CID and phone moved to the boot to allow ac glove box. Emulator, and bt car kit modded in.

Lpg dual fuel.

Must be saloon as the rear slaps about on estates.

B4 all round, mv6 rear springs, Irmscher fronts.

Sport stars, 8j with RT fronts, 9j rear with sc3 rears.

LSD. Or a 4.22 dif. Not sure which yet.

Brembo 6 pot calipers with 365 discs.

And of course, AUTO all day long. None of that Edwardian signal box rubbish, with block and tackle clutch pulley assembley... ;D

Full Irmscher body kit, lpg filler behind a flip up number plate.

Rear blind to polish it off. :P

And above all, it must be Black. As they ARE faster. :)

I am worried about what they are putting in the water around Reading...   ...we all know the FL is a penny pinched version of the superior MFL, where all the interior falls to bits when you look at it, and if you tilt the sunroof, you get a draft through the door handles. Oh, and the wind noise from the mirrors....

Good job I'm not in Reading then. Aye! ;)


And nout wrong with my interior. Obviously. ;D Mfl interior is far more compromised.

Oh, and I forgot the finsh flaking off the pfl centre console buttons.( Although I do miss the cc dash panel on m/pfl. Just don't tell anyone I said that. Ok! ;) )

No they aren't. They chip the soft touch off worse than the face lift. Poor deluded admin. ;D

Nope, seems unrelated. Can't see what is different about the FL, apart from doorcard, but both of my FLs suffered on both front doors, and non of my 3 PFLs ever suffered...

Ah, yes, the MFL ones were every bit as shite as FL.  Good job the PFL ones fit the MFL, overcoming the problem 100%. Just like my beloved Bullet :)
