A Holden ;) ;)
The Monaro was one of their models.

				I believe the Holden version of the Omega is called the Commodore. The Monaro is the 2 door sporty looking thing.

Not quite, its was badged the Commodore.
Holden is the make, so Holden Commodore / Vauxhall Omega
The Monaro is the door door coupe, its branded same here just under Vauxhall, not Holden

				Ok thanks. Just that down there, they seem to have a healthy after-market supply of poly suspension bushes. Found a site by a company called Nolathane that do loads of different bushes for their equivalent of the Omega. Only trouble is they are in Australia :D :'(
.....and I dont know if they would fit. :-[
We seem to be a long way behind in this area in the UK.
Sorry if this has come up before.
			 
			
			- 
				yes not sure if they would fit as the commodore certainly is wider and longer than the omega maybe you can check oem numbers?
			
 
			
			- 
				Pretty sure Commodore is wider. Body kits won't fit with some adjustments

is that one?

				although when they play up i would imagine they get called the same abuse as we do ;D ;D

				they're slightly wider and slightly longer, but have most of the same underframe. Well, mine does anyway ! It's quite a good design job actually.
The European Omega B is basically the same as the VT, VT-II or Vx Commodore and all of its variants, such as Senator, Omega, Statesman and Monaro
Front suspension is similar to Senator A (Monza), whilst rear suspension is Omega B, just without the camber/toe correction bar.
they do have proper engines though.
