The search prevents you running multiple searches in quick succession, hence the error.

Approximately 20% of our pages are fully indexed in google, so that makes a reasonable search as stated.

thanks for the replies, fellas - but none of them tell me the band(s) that a post March 2001 V6 Omega falls into.
I've tried to work out the government's site, but it messes with my head.
I mean, if I buy a 2002 2.6 in the next week or so, will it cost me upwards of £400 a year to tax the bugger? What about a 2.5, 3.0 or 3.2 of similar vintage?
