Title: What is this?
Post by: alunonhisown on 23 January 2010, 20:40:05

I know it is an Omega, before anyone has funny ideas!!!!
Is it PRE - MINI - or Facelift?
I like it apart from the colour of the leather.

To help you out this is a Pre-Facelift:

A mini-facelift had headrests without holes in, thats an easy way to tell the difference and a facelift is the one in the ebay link  :)

They've made a mistake in the listing, it states it's a manual, but clearly it's an automatic from looking at the photo's...but mistakes are easily made.

Well spotted Josh, let me go look at yours (mine) again, and check it is AUTO ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Nice looking motor, sure as shit ain't worth £1,700 though.

Don't really see the relevance of a doctor owning it for 5 years either, holding a doctorate doesn't mean you look after something.

Math not your strong point then?  ;D ;D

Originally the cambelt interval was 80K, it only got pulled back to 40K because Vx saw a few instances of tensioner failure before the 80K was hit.

Now if they had followed the example of Ford (belt good for 100K guaranteed, NO guarantee on tensioners), they wouldn't have had to worry about being sued  ;D
