Now I'm 60 next year so could probably do with one :'(, although I can still get under the CDX, albeit with a lot of grunts and groans.  >:(

But seriously, I've got an X reg 2.5 V6 CDX. So what have I got?

...........and a lovely car!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D :y

Anything 2000 'W' and later is a facelift. There were some 'W' reg pre-facelifts.

As Andy has said, a facelift....

Facelift cars can be established by the following:

Colour coded body strips
Grille incorperated into bonnet
smooth rear bootlid with only a grab handle, no lock
Different rear lights
Different bumpers
Interior changed including the centre console, as standard the facelift card have a double din stereo (CDX should have had the 4 disc multiplayer unit)
Different centre console and door trims


Lots of little changes that separated the cars

Yeh yeh yeh  ;)

A black country facelift is a bulldog clip on the back of the neck  ;) ;D

Being X-Reg. you should hang on to it. From Y-Reg onwards, the VED is £400+..... :(

CDX is nice (I had one) as it has a sunroof, heated front seats, and HID Xenon lights. It also have a combo cassette / CD player with built-in 4-CD changer - brilliant.

The engine is the one-before-last model, because from Y-Reg onwards they are all 2.6 and 3.2 instead of 2.5 and 3.0, with much more electronics and much less mechanics, but otherwise essentially very similar.

Enjoy... I did. :)

didnt 2.6 and 3.2 come in january 01, so late X reg?? with some 3.0 and 2.5 being possibly late registered on Y??

my 3.0 was a Y reg

So what's the difference between a pre-facleift and a mini-facelift?

Any pics of the differences would be good too.

Non externally. mini face lift have radio controls on the steering wheel, solid head restraints, errrr? TC switch moved from side of radio to the row above. 4 channel ABS instead of 3 .... I think. :-/
