think i've been using my S more than the previous owner. S was unnarked in 69k and clicked nicely when pressed.

20k later its half way to being rubbed off and alomost silent.

What a Prize Twonk I am. The suggestion that the S may have rubbed was correct. The cars not local to me but one of my mates took a look this evening and has reported back that is does have the sport function button and it is a conventional PRND321 config with snow mode button to one side.
Test drive tomorrow. I hope it drives as well as it looks. 70k miles and full vauxhall history. Sorry for the confusion and thanks to all for the feedback and comments. Hopefully my future posts won't be quite as pointless.

Sounds nice. 

Bear in mind it's due a cam belt change in 10k miles - good negotiating point!

Also, look for evidence that a belt and tensioner change was carried out at 40k otherwise it's very overdue! Some dealers don't appear to have got the message that the cam belt interval is 40k miles.

how many numbers do you have on your gear selector?

Should go PRND321, does it go PRND4321 by any chance?

Methinks I know what the student thinks .....

What is your location as well ?

 

Can't see what i was thinking being right, as its a 2001 year

You're on the wrong track - 5 speed box only fitted to Y25DT, never to any V6.

Rumors of very late 3.2's not correct then?

Nope.  Only Y25DT (as it needs higher torque, and also the crap power delivery from that unit requires quite short gears).

5-speed auto was fitted to the latest Opel Omegas with 3,2 engine. The selector goes PRND432 on those models, as well as on the 5-speed diesels. Different box though in all these examples.

But it appears that only continental Europe got that option, and the UK had to make do with 4 speed auto's

Seems so, but then again, if you could source a suitable 5-speed box it should be a straight swap  But they seem to be quite rare, how do you folks put it, "as hane's teeth" or "as rocking horse poo"
