I may have a couple of nearly new good ones that I took off when I put the polys on. Give me time to search them out. :y

I do. If they were still available new, I wouldn't even consider faffing about rebuilding mine.

Broke one of my NY resolutions though, first time I drove it since making the resolution  :-[, will attempt to get back on the straight and narrow ;D

Broke the speed limit? :o
Left rubber at BP? :D
Gesticulated at a BMW driver?

Give us a clue...
Never park the Zafira within a mile of the house?

You're quite right though Kevin, could be absolutely anything  :D
I'm embarrassed to say, the Battlebus has been sat on the drive since Christmas  :-[.

But Kevin Wood's first option was nearest....

Just bought an complete instrument carrier including instruments (2.5 V6) and a board computer about 10,40 € + shipping on ebay.

Very helpful to get further with my Omega PC projekt. I like to exchange the BC into a wider TFT Display and run it via a windows car PC. Entertainment, internet, navigation, office, e-mail, sms ... nothing is impossible....

I am not forced to drive an old Omega. I simply like it.

I spent a good minute trying to work out why anyone would coat a small Stilton in milk chocolate. It's been a long day!  ::)
