Cruise can be added dirt cheap as well if 2.2,2.6,3.2  :y
Remember some dealers charge up to £100 to enable....

£100!  :o Thats a record, thought it was generally around £45 + vat?

Ignor my AT link, just seen your after an estate!  ::)
£45 + VAT tends to be about the going rate for a diagnosis.  Enabling stuff etc, or more complex work, tends to get charged as a minimum of 1hr - ie, around £85 + VAT

£40 extra for "complicated" work - do you mean walking back to the PC and pushing a few extra buttons ;D

Or for free if your late father in law knew the mechanic
Or sometimes 'a drink' if you walk round the back and ask one of the spanner monkeys...

Well if it was me, I would not be spending any more on your current drive. A lot of money can easily be spent with no great benefit.

You can buy a very nice 2.5/3.0 Elite for 2k and that will be a completely different world to your current car.


Exactly - spent wisely that will get a decent facelift ( omega)  :y
