  • Should I buy a Vauxhall Senator? 6 Jun 2006 (Forum)
    With all that talk of the Senator rear lights on Bristols, its kinda made me hanker after one now! If I cant have the Bristol, I can have a car with the same lights :) I like both the 80's and 90's ones so which ones are best? 2.5, 3.0 or 3.0 24v? Which is the most reliable? Can you still get parts ok? I like the earlier cars most, but are they all rusty now? On of my neightbours has one of the later shape ones in a sort of gold colour and its really smart, I see it every morning!

Any help or advice appreciated. Is it best to change any idler roller(s) also whilst I'm at it? Thanks in advance for anyone who is kind enough to comment.

  • Omega MV6 wiper stalk 23 Mar 2003 (Forum)
    On the end of the stalk there are three buttons - a centre one which pushes inwards towards the wheel, then an upper and lower one marked R and S respectively. It looks suspiciously like cruise control to me (R = RESUME, S - SET, button = ON/OFF), but it doesn't do anything. And the manual shows Cruise Control ("where fitted") on the left hand stalk but nothing on the right hand...
  • Cheap Brake Pads 15 Mar 2003 (Forum)
    I noticed the item in today\'s paper \"Warp Factor True\" (406 with warping brake discs). It reminds me of my same experience when my Rover 218 turbo diesel was a company car and the lease company garage kept replacing discs. It finally appeared that the cause was cheap brake pads that caused immense heat build up.
