Sounds like you were in the superior facelift then Mr TB  ::)
Nothing superior about a facelift. My 195k prefacelift just works. And doesn't rattle. gayPhone is every bit as shit in that though...

Went to WIM today as you know and although most will see it as a waste of money, I did enjoy the blast on the motorway and the windy country lanes. Car now drives beautifully for an Elite, new wishbones, poly rears, setup, OE pads, quiet exhaust, good tyres and it feels planted at speed and safe. I can now say the car is in top condition and is in need for nothing (at this moment in time, long may it last  ;D). Its just about to clock 50,000 miles and everything works, cabin is surprisingly quiet for an Omega - a few weeks ago there were annoying rattles and squeaks which have now been sorted (although one rattle in the driver doorcard has just appeared but not too bad).  :y

Just remembered it squealed like a pig when stopping from reverse so not that perfect  ;D

Come on. Something broke, didn't it? :P
This guy did the lpg wiring, diagnosed a fault, several mapping sessions. Fixed the power sounder. Gave me his spare Alternator. Swapped wheels to diagnose a tramlining fault.

...to name a few.

In contrast...

Bloody thing kept stalling until warmed up, I needed both lanes of the A43 to tramline into, never managed to exceed 45mph, and the rattle from the door pins was driving me insane  >:(

And stupid bloody gayphone voice dialling. Its hopeless. Marginally more accurate if speaking with an american-chinese accent (in that it was at least getting family members), but next to useless. iOS 6.1 hasn't improved that. Come on Android, make a usable email client.
This guy tech 2'd it numerous times. Fitted a mixer to allow the ncdc2015 to work along side the blu tooth hands free, and fitted the MP3 player (that I asked him to fix, but he bought me a new one) and wired it in to the car.

To name a few. :y

This guy organised some excellent locations to allow me to service the auto box, fit poly bushes, and various other service jobs done.

Chris .. perhaps the thread title should really be

"what an awesome forum"  :)

Without doubt everyone tries to help, and that beautiful beast of yours (only slightly less nice than mine  :) ) is very nearly as you want it .. :)

Lots of hard work is paying off :)

Well done
