You got it Martin - there is no plans to permanently move away from Omega, just a short term money saving measure, and like you say will give me time to do up a nice Elite for next winter :D

You could get something for a few hundred then tidy it up - also fit gas if you want - with the luxury of not having to rush.

As to insurance mine is £100 lower than expected - I wonder if the gas conversion makes it seem like the driver is going to be more careful - may be worth asking

I am sure you will be back James, Rover Diesel will be cheaper to run, but you will be gagging for a decent comfy V6 drive after a few months  ;)

Its not the gas conversion that makes you drive slowly Martin, its that rather large thing on the back ;D

Nose to tail traffic - how to upset solo cars.

Pull over. Get water tank out. Plug in pump. Go into littlest room. Relieve yourself. Come out with knowing smile with other people knowing exactly what you have done. Rejoin 3 cars behind where you were.
