   This may be a silly question, but have you recently changed the leads? I ask as on the auto 24v sennys and carltons, if the quality of the leads wasnt as good as GM, they would affect the gearbox ECU and it gave all sorts of driving/ gear change problems.Just a thought.

3.2, so DBW which has no leads. Coil packs 

Im confused , if it has no plug leads how does the power get to it

Via the coil pack, which sits directly above the plug:

I was born in a bad mood and I'm gonna die in a bad mood and my Omegas will do their very best to keep things that way

Still the opportunity of lacareations doing the passenger side if you have sausage fingers

yep they nice cars

James,    Since I know the outcome,   You can just leave it here when next you visit and go get yourself the 530 , i won't even charge you for disposal

Does that mean you don't want the matches then

530d isn't quite that wise. Massive injectors cost a fortune just to refurb. Numerous pumps and filter in the fuel system all play up with proper miles. Multi link suspension bushes are a bugger to diagnose. Hedgehogs fail. Head unit and dash displays loosing pixels... And of course, don't forget the essential swirl flap ectomy.

And if auto the box can't take a chip upgrade.

With LPG or a diesel, combined with DIY service + cheap parts, not a lot can beat the Omega in terms of running costs. Trouble is with 5 Series, I don't like any of the later shapes.

This is the only shape i like:
