Ours sells the Redex in 10l, and not very cheaply either.Stick a 10 litre bottle in there, Ray, that should do you for around 10,000 miles.Her car only has a 9l pigs piss tank. Kinda annoying when its sold in 10l bottles!
All the Adblue I've bought in Costco has come in a gallon/5litre bottle
Appreciate your honesty.I did get to drive a few when I used to do a lot of diagnostics stuff on them, many locals will know my standard test route that has a good selection of handling, tram lining, flat out running and heavy braking.I do know that if the owner of a 3.0/3.2 tootled about in it, it would drive like a dog, so you could have a flat 3.2 losing badly to a decent 3.0 and vice versa.
Must have been pure luck that mine and yours went so well.
. Both my 3.0 and 3.2 I'd class as "not dogs" . The biggest thing with most was owners never sorted the sloppy suspension issues. Or shitty brakes that would fail on the short test run.Yup, that's the one. But he did look silly in it thoughElite Pete's MX5, IIRC.Yeah, but the 3.0 saloon had a disability.... ....meIn fact, the only 3.2 to ever beat my old 3.0l bullet was Hotel21 in his estate. Possibly because he knows how to drive. Or because I think he had Jura pup in the boot, egging him onYou just said a mouthfull. You've admitted that, with a competent driver, even a 3.2 estate can outpace a 3.0 saloon. Case closed.
Both of us got beat on most runs by a clapped out MX-5
Was a cracking day, though - hooning around a runway, H21 taught me the intricacies of how to do J-turns properly (a skill I've never, ever had a use for, officer), followed by an evening with people I'm honoured to call friends, talking shite and supping beverage and eating BBQ.
My old boss reckoned his 3.0 manual Omega (ex plod) averaged 35mpg,Actually easily achievable from a manual one over a tank if not ragging it off the line all the time.

Or just fix it yourself if you can solderYup, this. Switches are about 30p each - the shop used to sell a back of 3 for £1 back in the day - and if the rubbers are shagged, they are dirt cheap off ebay, even if the ebay ones tend to be a bit harder than the genuine.
Faster, even, that my bright orange hire car. And we all know hire cars are the fastest things on the roadNever met the man but he must be getting on a bit.He had the fastest 2.6 omega in the world. Used to see off Porsches and the like at traffic lights.
Oh dear, YZ250, methinks you are in denial. That said, had we meet at the lights, I might have had a slight advantage anyway, as I seem to recall the saloon is slightly lighter (more than made up for by my bulk, I'm sureObviously the 3.2 is far superior
You know it Al, I know it and even TB knows it.
In all honesty, in all of the years that I had mine I looked out for 3.0’s to bait to find out if TB’s theory was right. If one did take the bait, I certainly never had one come past me.

They certainly drive "differently", due to the programming of the throttle on the DBW ones. Would you notice the difference in reality (ignoring the throttle differences)? Probably not in performance - we're probably talking less that 5% difference. 2 in a drag race? Been there, done that, you can guess what won.As both graphs cross at 5252 torque and bhp they are probably correct, however I’ve never driven the 3.0. my 3.2 Mv6 estate goes very well for what it is, James was let loose on it 😁The difference between the two would be negligible to the average driver, I would think. Let's face it, the average omega driver was quite well off, they were expensive back in the day, and it was classed as an executive saloon, a cruiser not a race car. But Jaime does like to take things to the limit....
. Mostly all down to compression ratio, which is pathetically low on the 3.2.
The nurse I see weighs roughly the same as an ocean going liner. Yet she still has the cheek to say I should weight about a stone and a half less so my 15 stone 6' 1" frame can cope better.Plus you probably want to shag it
I really should say "have you looked in the mirror lately because you look like a beached whale"......but I'm too polite.
