Good question well presented... ;D

Currently nowt, but at this point four legal tyres and an MoT will suffice... Need to decide on short term stop gap or something a bit more substantial...

Well, went with the stop-gap...


It's no Omega replacement, yet strangely, that's exactly what it does :-X

Got the heads stripped down ready to come off the V6 and be serviced and exhaust disconnected, new gaskets and head bolts on order.

Mum's has all of that, although the height adjuster is manual. I still can't get comfortable in it; the seat is poorly shaped and too high in the car. The steering wheel is far too small and thick rimmed, although that does help to hide some of the hideous dash. The ride is terrible, and was when she got it at about 18months old. I can't stand the thing, and would struggle to own one even if it were free.
