mileage means nothing - part of the reason I'll sell that particular car is that it doesn't have enough mileage on it

Indeed. I'd take my 120,000 mile MV6 that I've owned since 4 years / 40K old, over anything advertised with a low mileage these days. What's the betting that "FVSH" is based on the 20K mileage interval and that it hasn't had annual servicing as it should with such low usage?

None - annual service I'm 'fraid.

I knew this old chestnut would raise its head - wish I hadnt bothered starting this thread now. All the miserable old far*s start grumbling.

i do apologise too many curries recently

deffo mv6 (see previous posts regarding retrofit to mv6) - i am more surprised about the lack of sunroof.

Really the mv6 is a sporty cdx than an alternative to the elite (opens another can of worms  )

Neither cruise nor sunroof was standard on a facelift MV6.

See, I told you I has no expert!  :-/

Well whoever had my breaker from new had certainly spec'd it up then! Cruise, Sunroof, CID, Telematics....

Perhaps I shouldn't have broken it!!  :-/

On the plus point - weight saving, no problem with the black trim rusting and more headroom!

Downside - I have got used to having a sunroof.

Yep. Not to mention when they develop a mind of their own and start opening when you least expect it.

I had one in my last car, for about 8 years. Don't recall ever using it.

If you can't take the whole roof off, might as well leave it be IMHO.

Cools the car down MUCH quicker after leaving it parked in an open carpark at work. I use it every day for half the year.

I wouldn't want to be without my sunroof. I use it more than the climate... Maybe thats because my everyday Cavalier has a sunroof but no air con...  :-/

If you are considering an elite instead, you could do alot worse than this one...

126,000 miles!

Reserve not met at £1,900!!

Naaaa!!!

my cdx has all the bits I want - I would rather slap some 17's on mine than have that Elite.

Just look at my estate... Serviced by Vx all of it's 67k and it was in a worse state than my 177k saloon (oil colour wise!) 

Had another oil and filter change last weekend... 4k since the previous and still coming out a little on the dark side for my liking Looks like the sump's going to be coming off it in the not too distant future too

Mind you... If things go as I hope (work wise) then the car is going to see a lot of work and TLC as the annual mileage will be dropping considerably

Just looked into the 'noname' ditchfinders it is shod with - PRESTIVO SPORT.

Seems thet they are to be avoided at all costs - cheap Yokos with bad reviews.

UPDATE:

Car sold for near asking price - congrats to the seller coz it aint worth that by a mile.

Back to the 'project' car then...

If it's a 2004 model It may come with ESP. According to the handbook for my December 2003 MV6 a few of the very last Omega's trickled out with ESP. ......Sadly mine was not one of them...
