Hi - I see many posts quoting engine type for various things - how do I know what I have? (if its in one of the handbooks, I'll Please read the manual :-)
Its a 2000 3.0 Elite, Facelift. I checked the range guides in the FAQ section but there is no mention of a 3 litre.
Thanks

The 3-litre would be X30XE. Think it should say in your manual

there are basically four V6s fitted to Omegas.

2.5 early engine
3.0 early engine

2.6 later engine
3.2 later engine

the later engine was not fitted at facelift, it was a while later on.

later engines differ from early engines in that they meet a higher emissions "level" :-

do not have a DIS pack in favour of coil-on-plug ignition
they do not have secondary air-injection
they do not have Exhaust Gas Recirculation
they do have OBD II
they do have a four cat exhaust system with cat-health monitoring
they do have drive-by-wire throttle

Exellent thanks. Puts me firmly in early engine box then!
I have good old fashioned cables moving the throttle about

Just wasn't sure if 2000/W was full facelift. Certainly seems exactly the same car as the bloke opposite me who has a 52 plate, but 2.6 engine not 3.0
