Omega mini face lift doors
« on: 06 April 2011, 21:10:03 »
I was told today that the face lift doors are better for resisting rust than my 1997 mini face lift doors, if this is right will my door cards fit on the newer face lift doors?  :y

Minor point ... there is no such thing as an Omega C

Omega A (continental designation) = Carlton (UK designation)

Omega B (continental designation) = Omega (UK designation)

Omega B's come in 3 flavours

Pre-face lift
Mini-face lift
Face lift

HTH  :)

Venom! I think you have got hold of the wrong end of the stick. Maybe i should have quoted Entwood's initial reply, but my comment was referring to Nige's edited comment that said an Omega A was a Senator ............ he then corrected his mistake to Carlton. He was calling himself a pratt.  :y :y :y

No idea if they rust less ........... they say so, so who am I to say they don't.
Yes they will, but obviously wiring is different between them.

Ah OK yes I did then, but he would have been right, it was a prattish question & I knew I was wrong writing it but  I thought I had read it somewhere so just carried on  :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[

 :y

Rear door looms are easy enough to swap over, double check the connections first, but you might not need to change the rear looms. (I'd robbed a set from a prefacelift car in anticipation of buying an ex plod mobile, they looked to be very similar).

Front door looms are definitely different and require longer/thinner/more double jointed fingers, although with the doors off, so much easier to get at the plugs on the front doors to release the clips.
