I really don't understand what is going with that one!  :-?

A lot of money for what it is... and quite honestly, nowhere near as nice as Tunnies

 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I was going to split the cost of buy the Senator with a m8... don't think i'll do that now  ::)

You were right Dave, there is just something about them. So far:

It handles better than my Omega (MV6 prob tad better though)
gets same mpg IF NOT better!!!
its more comfy
sounds like heaven
goes like the clappers even with the cats on and not chipped
the headlights are BETTER than my Omega!

The only area were my Omega is slightly better is wind noise....

Looking underneath today doing the coolant flush, i can reach the oil filter. No need to jack it up!

Distributor cap
Leads
Coil
Dual ram vacuum control
Vacuum reservoir
Heater control panel
All the switches/fuses and relays.
The ECUs

The gap is down the middle? Ie you have the handle and flap to lift and select gear, the arm that goes down into the box. That strip which hides the internal workings is missing. So dust and crud can fall in.

You can see what gear u are in, D 321 ect.... its the tiny thin strip in the middle thats missing
