Welcome to OOF
Bit suprised, had a feeling DPF was mapped out, as in 90k never noticed it do a regen. Noticed it in the Zafira every time. Weird.Never noticed any regens on my 2 DPF'd cars. I assume they are still in place and working, lol.
I have just found one on the bay, from Poland….£138. It says it’s for a 1994- 2001 3.0 Saloon.That will fit yours. I wouldn't worry too much about the tail piece being a bit short for facelift saloons.
Did they not make a 3.0 after 2001 ?.
So, this is the one to go for, then, although my old girl is a 2003.
Does she top it off with some sarcastic quip? Bloody womenMrs TheBoy. Bitch.
Me: "That's taken 5hrs from Fort William to Carlisle"
Mrs TB: "The weather didn't help, you couldn't go much above <insert a speed figure here>"
Me: "But I wouldn't anyway, I'm a reformed character"
Mrs TB: "'dangle berries'"
She's got you weighed up then.I know that if I accelerate more than necessary, my Mrs is guaranteed to look in the passenger door mirror, even if nobody is behind me.
Thing is, she's not wrongUpon checking my servicing, you are incorrect.... ....just
Not that it helps any but she probably still gets better mileage out of her tyres than you get out of your brake pads.
Let me know, I could use some decent excuses.………..
Even getting up to top speeds (max for an Omega, and Senator
You hooligan, I like your style.
“When needs arose”.
I get a feeling that Ms Zoom doesn't drive like you, or the old me....………..

How do you find these on your Omega?
Does the 2.5/3.0 have a separate immobiliser ECU then?All post 95 cars have the same setup - Engine ECU paired with immobiliser ECU (the ring around ignition), and the immobiliser ECU is programmed to learn the transponders.
On the 2.6/3.2 there's the small board in the transponder ring and 3 (iirc), wires to the engine ECU.
The alarm/combined alarm immobiliser is a different system entirely and the donor plod would only ever have had the basic alarm.
Very narrow, winding, single track road, limited options for moving about - probably less that 18", and only 0.5 to 1s of hard braking before having to release to leave some suspension travel for the pothole.idiotted a huge pothole at speed.At what point will you slow down? 10 tyres a year? 5 wheels a year?
That's obviously a rhetorical question as you're a reformed character but there's a bit of a pattern...
That said, if two wheeled people can swerve around irregularities on the road, why can't cars? The Highway Code is a bit conflicted on this as the implication is that car drivers should be reading the road far enough ahead to plan for and avoid obstacles with ease, especially if following at a safe distance and speed. Yet Moto/bicyclists are allowed to swerve on a whim and everyone else has to allow for it.
Surely the insinuation with that is the riders are travelling too close or to fast to safely react to the road ahead?
