Have you phoned the previous owner.....he might have them....as obviously the battery has been off as it was parked up for 2 years? Might save you vx stealer price of getting them  

Good point, there was nothing in the glove box. However it still had its original jack kit and stuff in the boot. Got his name i could write to him...

Yeah but he just bought it about 2 weeks ago, he thought it was in the glove too along with the alloy centre cap key.

What keeps going though my mind, is sell the Omega!!   - And LPG the Senny which can be done for £300

Is it that obvious? Mum said i looked happy.

At xmas i went to bed as normal, no excitement what so ever. Last night i was up from 7am went to bed at 1am... nakered. Still could not sleep excited about the Senator.

After a few basic jobs, oil changes ect... anyone is welcome to come have a blast

YES I can feel you smiling from here

The Senator must have been one hell of a car in the late 80's early 90's - I can see why people who came from the Senator to the Omega dislike it.

In some areas they seam to have taken a step backwards...

I tried to sell my last 2.0l Omega to colleage's huisband.  He had a Senator and couldn't bring himself to pay £5k to lose what he had - so he paid £200 for repairs and still has it 4 years later.  Senator owners huh

Thats what I was thinking! Sounds like a great car.  
My mate used to have a Carlton GSI which was really nice (and quick) but the Senny sounds cool too.  8-)

Enjoy

Errr yes......i can vouch that 3.0 15 yo senator moves faster than my 4 yo 2.2

Hi Tunnie,
              great to hear you've got the Sennie and seem very pleased with it   I was just curious, which route did you go down regarding insurance in the end?

Cheers Jim

Yes the Senator was a hell of a car in the early 90's.

Even against todays cars it will hold its own.
I bought my first one in 1996, and I have now owned 5. I don't doubt there will be 6th at some point. I just keep going back to them!

Now if only I could find a 4.0 Irmscher job!  8-)

Sent a txt message to the seller, and got the Reg number.

Went to Norwich Union, insured the car for a day from 12th @ 12:10PM to 13th @ 12:10 PM

Cost me £10.50, and you can print out a certificate to say your insured inc ase plod stop you. Never been stopped before, but you never know so better to be safe than sorry!

I got the cover from here:

Saw one of those on Autobahn stormers, it was said to be the only 4.0 factory fit in the country!
