Sorry what are you lot on about the F/L being an awful interior? All Omegas inside are covered in cheap looking plastic whatever one you get, but if anything at least the F/L looks more modern.

Not saying anything is wrong with the FL buddy, simply putting it that if I where to choose I'd have the exterior of a facelift but with an interior of a MFL MV6.

Agreed it doesn't look more modern but who's to say that modern cars look nice anyway?

  cheap looking plastic ............  Mine's covered in leather!
It means that the PFL does NOT have the rubber coating that always scratches off & then looks horrible. 

+ 1, wonder if anyones tried to cover the F/L in leather

expensive and not practical..

In real terms there is nothing between them on the road The 3.0 is slightly more economical but the 3.2 is easier to work on and, obviously, newer and far superior

I'm just curious what you meant by this. In what way was it easier?

No HT leads
No EGR valve
No secondary air indction
No throttle cable
No idle air control valve

I know it wouldn't be worth it the slightest, but definitely interesting.

Far easier to fit an LPG kit.

Petrol cars have EGR valves? 

Can a single induction setup be retrofitted?

What was used instead of leads? - I don't really see this as a downer.

I prefer throttle cables. My previous cars had dreadful FBW problems.

What replaced the ICV, If anything?

They did ..... till the DBW cars came along.

The standard induction isn't a problem, the secondary air injection was there to placate the tree huggers.

Coil Packs ie 1 3 5 coil pack & a 2 4 6 coil pack that plug directly to the spark plugs.

I prefer throttle cables. My previous cars had dreadful FBW problems.

Not had a DBW Omega so can't comment.

ECU sorts it out.

Thanks Andy, I appreciate the reply!

I prefer the lighter touch of the DBW throttles, cable ones have to be pressed quite a bit in comparison.

Not had any issues with mine (140k 3.2 & 156k 2.2)
