Quite a few estates on the bay , a lot of silver ones

Try finding an Estate Elite 2.2DTi - rare as rocking horse..  I'm actually now slightly sad I missed out on that one with the dead pump a week or so ago.  Especially as this higher mileage CD went for £600 - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/191204653926 (although that is a really nice colour..)

My CDX DTI Estate will be up soon and with only 120k on the clock with leather brother has it in the Elite but no leather in his, but don't think he wants to part with it

Never ever or even ever will I buy a car with Leather again, horrible stuff, cold or sweaty bottom, take you pick, but not for me, I know some love it, their choice............

I couldn't agree more

Of all the Omegas I've owned (thus taken on long journeys), by far the most comfortable was PFL Elite cloth

I fall in the 'I love leather' camp.

Ditto - find it much easier to get my fat lardy huge arse in and out of a leather seat than a velcro-like cloth one

P/fl mv cloth soooo comfy  And heated seats always work in cloth

Boot does not appear as good as Omega Estate though, in terms of space. Zafira is taller, but can't really use the height available.

Its not. Not even close. Its an Astra-G estate, but taller.

Not much to match Omega Estate. E class maybe? RR?

E Class maybe, don't think RR is bigger.

Current E-class estates are significantly larger inside than the Omega, both in terms of length and usable height (as there's an extra 9" or so of depth below the false boot floor) I reckon..

As a rough guide I think the Omega had a load capacity of 540L (seats up) with the E-class at 650L, and 1000L (seats down) with the E-class at 1600L, although that last number sounds so enormous I wonder if they count the front seat area as well.

So let me sum this up:

Tunnie: my omega estate is not big enough.

Me: if an omega is not big enough, you need a van.

Tunnie: yep.

TB: no, you need a zafira.

Tunnie: Zafira is not long enough, even though it's higher.

TB: of course it's not long enough, it's an Astra G estate.

Tunnie + Me: we know, so why did you fickin suggest one then?
