Today X168 passed MOT, 2 advisories, oil leak and chip on screen. Only seven more cars to get through this year. I find this challenging.
I depict below my two 2000 2.5 petrol manual CDX estates. X168 (£302, 165K miles) is a MFL and V828 (£257, 162K) a PFL, is booked for MOT next Wednesday. I prefer the PFL radio, with its 6CD magazine with random play mode, and its black bumpers, which do not show minor dings. For 16 year old cars they have worn well; they both are delightful to drive, quiet, luxurious, fast and reliable. Neither is showing any rust in the rear wheel arches yet.

Terry I take my hat off to you. There ought to be some annual OOF awards

Like. To the service of keeping a fleet on the road, Terry Paget.

Are those prices in brackets before the mileage what you paid for them?

Keep them going, great cars I  loved mine.

Is X168 not a facelift? Albeit a 2.5 yr2000.

I always thought PFL was the old shape with push button A/C (as opposed to turn knobs, amongst other things), correct me if I'm wrong.

Lovely looking cars BTW.....  mine is X127, so they probably saw each other on the production line!

I understand the Omegas with the new body shape but the old engines (2.0,.2.5 and 3.0), throttle cables, AIVCs, more emission control devices and higher compression ratios, were  designated mini face lifts (MFL), and the later 2.2, 2.6 and 3.2 powered units were full face lifts (FL). This makes X168 a MFL.

Midfacelift is '97R to'00V both have grill in bumper and black/chrome finished bumpers.
Facelift is '00V to end. All have grill in bumper and dual zone climate control.

 

Good effort whatever age
