Its about time you put your hands in your pocket TB and bought a decent Omega, now do the decent thing and put the MV6 out to pasture ;D ;D ;D
Forgetting that the prefacelift is a nicer looking car than facelift, and the interior doesn't fall apart with every fart, the MV6 is quicker, and does corners ;)
I couldn't agree more :y

So sell the crappy facelift to me for a tenner  :)
Your licence wouldn't stand a car capable of breaking a 50mph speed limit :P

Mv6 pre facelift is not lowered sports chassis, although I know yours is.
Don't think the 3.0 quicker thing has been proven has it?
It's only the tactile finish, and the centre arm rest doesn't bubble up or the surround by the door lever get scratched, 80's blobby styling, nah.  ;D

If it was H21's screen, it was quite intermittent - would run for days fine, then play up for days.

On one of my previous screens, long since binned, I proved the fault to the actual LCD panel or ribbon - ie, swapped over that bottom board and white plastic surround, as in just the glass part and its ribbon to the pcb...

plus i remember the discussion at newent fitting your new front shocks from a face lift. ie lowered sports chassis, to go with those silly red springs of yours. ;)

Prefacelift MV6 are lowered on shocks, not springs.

AFAIK, my front shocks aren't facelift.

Afaict there is no listing for lsc on pre fl.

Mark chose fl lsc shocks to go with your 30 mill lower springs, because as you say, pfl mv6 springs are same length as stock, as I understood it?  :-/

Correction, was not just springs but shocks as well, fitted the whole assembly as a unit.




Just checked tc and they now list lsc for 2.5/2.6/3.0/3.2.

They updating it by the looks, as shown with the black p no's, old no's shown in white. :-/
