The idea is Tunnie i manage to get either a lpg converted Vectra or Omega....cost of conversion is about £1.8k for a 2.2 over £2k for a V6...something im not going to pay if i rent it out....see earlier post about £5k - £2k....see what i mean?

And you didnt come and say hello....when you were in Swindon? tut tut

Ummm theres 2 Asdas in Swindon both by dual carriageways....do you mean Asda Walmart? 4mile 40mph limit Angry

dual carriageway runs right by it.....loads of traffic lights every few hundred yards?

Oh just got the pics of the repaired meega.....will do another post with them

A bit confusing, the "zenon" (Xenon?!) could just refer replacement standard bulbs, not necessarily HIDs (hmmm, but headlight wash...).

"Heated Front ... screen" - new one on me. Or does he just mean the blower

The headlamp washers suggest it's a proper HID.

I vaguely remember that some Elites came with heated rear side windows - but this was done by having a blower outlet at the top of the inside rear door trim. maybe that's what they were referring to? Huh

Alas, no more Omegas....

Aug 2006 at 20:28 i reset the fuel comp when joining the motorway once, did a 50 mile strech down the m40 doing 80mph.... averaged 38 mpg, the last dual carridge way town bit (still reving to 4k away from junctions) it dropped to 36mpg average. But i generally get 33 ish from a tank

Aug 2006 at 21:01 On a long run I get 38 ish, but as I do a lot of 'tatting about' my overall consumption is 26+. This improved from 24+ after I cleaned out the throttle body and breathers.

Er yeah lots of traffic lights, not sure which side its on. But I came to Swindon on the main road from Oxford... the first dual carridgway you hit there, it was off that.
