I've used a car delivery company Daz put me onto. Car Delivery Agents. I'll dig their number out. But, I paid £130 to have a Range Rover delivered to me here in Oxford from Blandford Forum in Dorset. They are very good!

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: Heated seats GLS

« on: 19 April 2014, 17:42:33 »

You will need to replace your front seats. The GLS seats don't have the heater pads in them, and it would be more cost effective to replace the seats. You can either replace with the velour seats from a CD or CDX spec Omega, the MV6 sports seats or leather from a CD or CDX Omega. All of these seats are plug and play. The wiring is all in place in your GLS. Elite seats can be fitted, these have full electric operation, but require some wiring modification. Do ensure whatever seats you fit come from a Facelift Omega aswell.

General Car Chat / Re: Transit Luton van value

« on: 16 April 2014, 19:06:10 »

I'd give £1,000 for that van without hesitation. I think that is a reasonable price. Luton's and any speciality body style will always hold value. Do you need a Luton, or would LWB's suffice? The Transit flaresides are the only exception...they are very cheap.

What sort of MPG figures would you need? What does the Jeep do now?

Looking for 40 prefer 50 MPG, and don't want to gas anything, cant be doing to many filling station runs..............

Do you have a preference for a 4x4 or MPV?

The Volvo XC90 D5 would probably be my choice for a 4x4. Real world MPG is likely to be mid 30's though, but better than most competitors.

If it were a MPV, I would look for a Ford Galaxy 2.0 TDCI. They hold their value well. I always avoid French cars out of warranty. I have never had a problem free one, even 2010/11 one's. A £10k french car will very quickly loose money. A Volvo or Ford would be a better financial bet.

Or, how about the AWD estate variants with slightly higher ride height? Audi A6 all road, Volvo XC70 etc?

If you want me to keep an eye out for things in my travels...just let me know!

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Rear fog light wiring

« on: 12 April 2014, 15:16:20 »

I need to splice into the rear fog light wiring, independently for both lights for the alternating flash pattern. I know the blue and black wire is the relevant one. On the O/S unit there is only one wire going into the bulb holder, however on the N/S there are two, why is this? Does it matter which one I tap into?

Omega General Help / Air con overhaul

« on: 02 April 2014, 21:37:36 »

Both of my Omega's have U/S air con, and today I've finally decided to sort that!

It's a bit like asking how long is a piece of string, but what are the weak points?

For example, washers on the compressor, worthwhile just replacing condensor and drier/receiver as they're not overly expensive?

I'll take a trip to kwikfit, but suspect they'll gas it and tell me it's fine

Never a problem Rob!
I was considering running off with it, the air conditioning was ice cold...that's a rarity on any Omega

General Car Chat / Re: So what have you done to your car today?

« on: 01 April 2014, 20:53:14 »

Checked the intercooler on the bus. Earlier today I ragged the nads off it, trying to redline in every gear, partly out of hatred for it and partly to see in an Italian tuneup would help.

Maybe it should make an appearance at WOMA? 

This Thursday should see x2 Zaf DTI's go through.

Good to see you again Josh.

General Car Chat / Re: Taxing a SORN Omega.

« on: 01 April 2014, 20:25:18 »

If the V5C is in your name, you can do either;

Insure the vehicle and tax online, providing it has a current MOT and the reg number appears on the MID. If it's a new policy it can take sometime to appear.

Or, at your post office - take the V5C, MOT and Insurance cert and they can tax for you. No special forms are needed.
