Can't see anything listed on the Powerflex website for Omegas.  I sent an e-mail earlier this evening enquiring why this is so and whether they would be able to supply.
I had an auto response advising they hope to reply withing 48 hours.

What do you mean by "B" and "C" ?

Hmm...interesting !

Can't see where they say B and C though.

Omega A was the European name for the Carlton.
Omega B is what we know as the Omega ('94 to '03)
Omega C does not exist. Some mistakenly think the facelift Omega is an Omega C

Ah right, found it on LMF site.
They have incorrectly listed the facelift '00> model as the Omega C.

I'm no expert mate but very careful if you put powerfelx Polly bush's on your car cause if you have a fairly old omega or any car for that matter I have heard and seen that because they are a lot stiffer they can cause your chassis problems (like cracks etc) I have seen a few of my mates cars in the past that this has happened to and then they have had to get it all sorted and have switched back to the o.e.

Sport found them on e-bay. Spookily e'nuff I mailed an enquiry to Proflex about an hour earlier.  

According to this ebay seller, just the front wishbone bushes and the anti-roll bar rubbers are available.

True, but I think these should be ok. Front wishbone bushes are certainly a problem in my opinion. Think I'll go for them, once I've sorted out my injector issue.

Has anyone ever changed their bushes? I thought you needed a Ten Tonne press?  ::)

I changed my rear bushes on my lowered Elite. Fitted adjustable poly-bushes from Regal Auto.
Used Oxy-Acetylene to burn out the original bushes and pretty much slide the replacement poly-bushes in. They come in two halves, so fitting is a doddle.
