I thought it was MOT'd just before you bought it?  :-\

The very day I bought it, Sir Tig.

It can take hours or even days for the airbag to deflate, so getting it through the MOT is not a problem. The car drove perfectly once 'pumped up' but it puts a constant strain on the (extremely expensive) pump because it was working so hard to keep it inflated.

Personally, I'd go for conventional suspension every time.

Anyway, now it's sorted nothing else can possibly go wrong....... ::) ::) ::) ;D

Are you going to have a chat with the previous owner?  As he must have known the airbag was faulty....  ::)

My credit card has just been given a 'kicking' to the tune of £636..... :'( :'(

Oh well, that's life. :(

I suppose it's all part of the master plan for German domination in Europe. ::) ::) :(

Who'll be the first to say " I told you so, Mr Opti". If only you'd been sensible and purchased a Daewoo?...... ;)

Bad luck there Mr Opti , but you could always get the cash back with the sale of the Omega  :-\

I've decided to keep the MV6 as backup  should the shit really hit the fan with the CLS. If only Mercedes were as reliable as Vauxhall. Check out the JD Power survey. Mercs are average for reliability at best. :-\

Any chance of an OOF 'whip round' for an impoverished Omega owner?........ ::) ::) ::) :)

£1 from each of our 6000 members will do nicely. :y

Thanks in advance. :)

I'm not sure he did, Sir Tig.

It wasn't obvious for quite some time. :(
