Dec 2009 at 08:37 I spoke to this Guy last week and he will not take a penny less than £3,250 for this car, he brought it over from Ireland last year and reckons he has spent a small fortune on it. A little bit tooooooo much for me, dunno if it is worth it, what do you guys think. Diane

He may have spent a small fortune on it. Roll Eyes

When it is bought and used on uk roads with those tinted front side windows and VOSA see it, they will slap an immediate or delayed prohibition if the transparency of the glass is less than 75% (i.e. it lets less than 75% of the transmitted light through)

Solution remove the tint, and get vehicle to VOSA station for removal of the prohbition at a cost, in the interim drive with the windows downs. Cry

Why have something which gives them an open invitation to pull you over at the side of the road.

No your ok - that is an Irmy kit - but the car doesn't have an electric rear blind or traction control (can't see the buttons for them) and I would expect to see these on an Elite - colour sat-nav though.

Late 2002 and 2003 Elite saloon's didn't have the electric rear blind fitted for some reason. I never understood why Vauxhall removed that option on the last of the Omega's. And the 2.2 DTI doesn't come with traction control, only the V6's had it fitted.

Well I never knew that! is the diesel not pokey enough to warrant traction control then? ...... I have a late 2002 Elite - it has the blind and reversing sensors, colour satnav, rain sensing wipers and the little light under the mirror so I must have been lucky and got one of the last of the fully loaded ones Grin

That's a good question, I really don't know for sure, both the 2.2 diesel and 2.2 petrol didn't come with TC...I'd agree with you that it's most likely not really needed on those engines. There was never a case when I had my 2.2 I thought having TC would have helped me out.

you certainly are lucky, I have only seen a few Omega Elite's on a '52' plate onwards that had the rear electric blind fitted from new.
