Hopefully by fitting a facelift Elite interior... there are also tecnical differences with pre and post rear seats, as the later ones have safety latches in the hinges too... either way it's an Mot failure :y

My midlife crisis involves a nice big V8, a nice big motorcycle, and a moist  young blonde  with big tits. Not too much to ask for.

I dread the time I become interested in golf, bowls, and worst of all, garden centres. :)

As long as the price does not go above £600-£700 I think it's worth a punt, not for me as I have two now and the van, the wife's TD5 Disco is ummmm not well so have to put some money into that at the moment :y

Not really a deal breaker though... most of the components are readily replaceable, and the fact it's taxed as dual fuel does at least suggest that it was a well intentioned install...

Star silver will add an extra £500 to the sale price of any Omega. :)

White though, especially when applied to a Mercedes Benz, will reduce the sale price by a similar amount. ;) :D ;D

Al, you can afford to slice £500 from the price of your Merc.

You'll still trouser the thick end of £20,000. :y
