Title: A Couple of Questions Guys!
Post by: Darth Loo-knee on 05 February 2007, 21:22:34
I have seen this 'Reflection' mentioned on a couple of adds for Omega's what is that?

Also my Mrs has asked me too ask, do 3.0 elites, MV6's have that arm for you too allow the steering wheel to be lifted or lowered? :-*

Thanks Loo-knee :y

Reflection is a special edition, low spec, but made to look a little like MV6.

98MY and later have the height adjustable steering column, pre 98MY do not, not even Elites...

TheBoy,

You are a very nice man! a very very nice man!

Yes was the mini facelift version MV6 i saw last week then, 89000 miles full history, full black leather, auto gearbox (which isn't the one to have apparently) trying to remember what the bloke said he had to have another passenger air bag as his went of for some reason......£1650  :-?

But anyway it has been sold now, so got to keep my eyes open for one...

Another thing what should the temperature gauge read at normal running temperature?

Thanks Again :y

Temp guage should be just under halfway, creeping up to just over halfway before fans drag back down again.  Different engines run at different temps, so have different markings on guage, but still should be about halfway...

Would have thought the Omega's would have had a Viscous Fan to keep the big engines cool..... :-?

I had a 97 (pre-minifacelift) Reflection, it had the following:

NO alloy wheels - they were not standard on 97 Reflection, though as far as I know 98 (minifacelfit) Reflections DID have alloys.

Only the front windows were electrical, rear ones were manual.

It had a fold-flat passenger seat (which was otherwise only standard on CDX but not GLS/CD).

It had a sunroof (again, otherwise only standard on CDX but not GLS/CD).

It had standard A/C like CD, but not CDX/Elite-style 'digital' Climate.

It had adjustable steering wheel, and twin airbags (minifacelift had 4 airbags).

It had foglamps.

It did NOT have high braking light (these came in as standard with the minifacelift).

It had full MID e.g. CD/CDX style, not the basic TID as in GLS.

Suspension was standard, not lowered as in MV6.

That's from memory...

Thats odd - My 1997 Reflection has alloys - are you sure your car's previous owner didn't just nick them?? Mine has an Irmscher spoiler with a brake light too. I thought they were standard fitment, but I've seen others without the brake light here and there. Perhaps they just chucked on pretty bits at the factory whenever they could be bothered!

As an aside, I really don't feel the need to spec my car up too much these days - its just more stuff waiting to go wrong. It'll have to be a "classic" spec E-class merc next time!
