Dunno if it's the same as the grand scenic, but watch out for the rear suspension if you're gonna be carrying any sort of weight.
The scenic has torsion bars instead of proper springs.
They are VERY difficult to change if it breaks (and they do if you carry 400kgs of books in the back then hook up
 a 1T trailer  :(  ) and not cheap.
 
why not buy another omega? maybe a diesel GLS ?

Might just know of a pretty good 'un - that might just be up for grabs pretty soon, dear 'Forester'!
 ;D

'Tis a '98 2.5TD GLS Estate that's also been 'plus 5' chipped :D

Thanks for all the input fellers, its a W (2000) plate, and he wants £600, but I'll pay about £500 with haggling, I think.

Would get another miggy estate as a hack, but need the height inside, and also the fact its a "known" car and has only had a 60 yr old owner from new, meaning its not really been abused (much).

Will use the time to get LPG sorted on my miggy!!

Thanks for the thought Byron......................if this falls through........... :y
