Just had a look at the manual for my Omega and it talks about ESP being an optional extra in addition to TC and ABS. The way it talks about it implies that it has a yaw sensor "detects understeer / oversteer".

In vehicles with ESP, the TC light and button have a symbol that looks like a triangle with a car swerving around inside it instead of the usual "TC" letters.

Anyone got it?

Yes, its in the wiring diagrams as well.  Pretty certain it never made it in any Vauxhall Omega

not sure it was an opel option either  :-/

(folding?) mirrors are a requirement in some countries....

What's involved in fitting folding mirrors to a UK spec 3.2 elite facelift?

Is the wiring there, just an ingnition sensor in the mirror?

Would you retain the heating, " RHS wide angle split" and memory adjustment?

I suspect you could retain those items, but never seen it on a UK car, and seeing as the stdard Elite ones are several hundred £ each, I don't think its even worth the effort of checking what else needs to be done...

Point taken, but it won't cost anything to find out. You're probably right on actually doing it though. If it were a "project" I'd look at moving the side repeaters into them too.

Any ideas on which countries it was a legal requirement? Is this something that was done in Germany or on the US Catera?

Japan.

Japanese cars are right hand drive too aren't they? That might make things easier if they are available 2nd hand.

Which "armrest"? Do you mean on the door card where the window switches are?

Is the switch your talking about for "folding" the mirrors or adjusting them?
