1.8 Petrol
2008 / 08 Elite with 58k on the clock.

Even though it has the Elite badge on it, there's a lot missing compared to the Omega. I really missed the Omega  :'(

It looks presentable and practical but has more miles on the clock than the Elite  you just sold.

Really...?

We currently have a 2014 Model on hire and I find it a terrible car.

Its not a real 7 seater as the back seats we cant even get our 7yr old twins in...so they get laid flat so we can get shopping in boot.

To be honest a normal sized saloon or estate is much better,or if you want a proper 7 seater get a Galaxy.

Not for me, a Citroen C4 Grand Picasso would be my choice anytime......... :y :y

Having never driven one I cant say what they are like...but having had Galaxy No.4 I can say these are damn good cars.

Chevrolet orlando has seven usable seats but, as with most people carriers, it leaves room for maybe two carrier bags.

But, you see, they're called people carriers, not luggage carriers. ::)

On a lighter note ....I think that blue would suit an Omega very well indeed.

What blue is it?

It is a GM vehicle though. From the same stable as the excellent, executive-class omega. :y

Third row seat space is irrelevant for my needs, as it would only be licensed for four passengers, leaving a pretty impressive boot :y

The boot isn't that good in reality. Probably a bit like an Insignia, looks good enough, but in reality....

It's bigger than the Insignia estate boot, especially when you factor in the way that the centre row adjusts for both rake and legroom. The Seat Altea I had was pretty good for that as well... inspite being un unreliable pos ::)

Does anyone know if codes can be read via pedal trick with this engine? I tried it but the spanner light didnt come on or flash but ECU (or something similar) was displayed on the trip computer and the numbers reset to 000

I think the Zafira displays the codes using the numbers in the trip computer - presumably 000 is the number of current codes :-\
