Thanks to everyone for their replies and for their "Welcome" messages.
Looks like it depends on the original owner then, as to what extra's they paid for. Don't think I'd want to be without cruise tho!
So it looks like we're saying the MV6 doesn't cost any more to maintain etc.
Can I ask what HID is? (someone said the MV6 doesn't have HID).
Thanks again - glad I've got a 2 page debate going in my 1st thread!

Thanks Taxi Driver for your help too! (I think I was replying to original reply when you were also posting).
This is all great info - I had also read about the oil change, so had that on my radar.
Support appreciated

Thanks for your help and support. Have read these posts already (which I think are priceless!) and will have another look over them, to make sure I'm absorbing all of the info!
I'll let you know if/when I find something and need advice.
Cheers

Hi all - 1st post, so be nice 
I'm looking at buying an Omega in the near future, and have been looking round to see what's out there, costs, models, service/maintenance intervals etc and have a couple of questions I'd like help with
1. I've seen that VX say to get a service every 20K, but I've also seen people (mainly in that "other" VX forum) mention a "Major Service". When would the car need one and what's the difference? Also, what would be the rough prices for a service/major service at a local or VX garage?
2. I've seen a few Omega CDX's, but have seen the odd MV6. From what I can see, the differences seem to be you get better seats, no "wood" effect on the dash, different alloys, some more BPH (comparing a 2.5/6 CDX to a 2.6 MV6). I assume the suspension will be more sporty too, and the MV6 would have a boot spoiler. Am I missing something "amazing" here? I like the look of an MV6, and from what I can tell the running costs would be about the same as a CDX from a fuel & insurance point of view, but do they cost a whole load more to maintain?
btw - I'm looking at getting a face-lift estate (2000 onwards). Also, I'm not a mechanic so would not do the service myself - I would do the odd little jobs like air filter.
Thanks in advance.
