To be honest looking at the pictures it could be a 2.0 cdx estate made to look like an elite, smart looking though.

There is no evidence of TC and the fact that headlights even though they are on in the piccy still look like normal headlights which are non xenon.

Its got to be a 2.0 the v6 dials go up 160mph not 140mph has anyone else spotted this.

Bit strange though how its missing the TC.

All V6's should have the 160mph speedo, if its got the 140 one its been fiddle with.

4 Pots and Diesels have the 140

Police ones have the 155mph

Do you break V6's as often as TheBoy? Then you need tunnie's towing services, recovery costs are just the humiliation of being towed by 2/3's of an engine

Headlights are projectors upto late 1998 when they would be Xenons. All 2.5TD speedos are 140mph.

It does have TC and facelifts are just a normal Omega, but with some nice things removed (like the climate panel)

All facelifts have climate (even the poverty spec ones) and its a much superior system with air quality monitor, fully independent selection of air direction etc....

Quote:

and some nasty things put on, like a scooped Plenum. (On real engined ones).

These first appeared on the mini facelift 3.0V6 (and then later on the 2.6 and 3.2 to support drive by wire)
