i cannot be bothered to argue, but just posting links to ones that could be specced up. Why did you post details on pre-facelift when he was asking for facelift?

Because, like I said in earlier posting I am unsure of the difference.

ok well thanks for eveyones comments, basically they are very rare which is bad and because of that the price is relatively high, it was just a thought as i love mine and and never leave it unless somthing major happens which fingers crossed it never will, keep those oil changes frequent and be aware of idiots behind you

2.2 DTi (once chipped) its actually more powerful, also has more torque. Impressive considering its 300cc smaller in size and missing 2 cylinders.

Its not as smooth as the beemer engine though, i'd go for the 2.2DTi as you would have much greater choice

and also only available twith 3 pedals, some prefered the option of an auto that came with the 6 cylinder.

Good point forgot about that

We had an 'N' Reg one a long time back on taxi's.
N313HAE
CD Spec if I remember.
Was  rebuilt by insurance company twice, maybe 3 times.
It once ended up in someone's living room on a sunday morning and Fire Service removed driver through sunroof, likea cesarian section. Had it back and it was rolled outside Cyfarthfa Park 2 days after being returned, and a few weeks later was rebuilt again after being rolled on the A4060 (Slip Road).
Then was sold in part ex, and I saw it 9-12 months later showing 96k on clock and when the company sold it I know for a fact it had 195k on it.

[Omegatoy]

[Elite Pete]

My Facelift 2.5 TD is a CD spec with a manual box but ive fitted facelift MV6 alloys, self dimming rear view mirror, rear electric blind, elite rear spoiler and i've got grey facelift leather to fit so its as good as an Elite

With all those extra goodies on board Pete I asume you`ve notified your insurance

I thought they were on there when he got it, so he hasn't made any changes himself

I am still dubious if an insurance company could tell the difference between a CD, MV6, CDX specs on a 10 year old barge like the Omega, and what was 'original'

The 'it was like it when i bought it' argument can be used as well, as they are so old and many Omegas now will have had quite a few owners

I agree. The insurance companies can't expect everyone who buys a secondhand car to get in touch with the manufacturer and ask what it left the factory with before taking out insurance

2.5 TD facelifts are quite rare in themselves, but a 2.5 TD elite moreso.

very rare, might be a case of a facelift and add the leather to the car, although you miss the self level etc..

possibly more likely to find a spare irmscher bodykit for a facelift than you are a 2.5td elite facelift.
