Well new sensor is in , stopped and started 2 times when warm and it starts fine  Was well worth an hour of swearing with accompanied frost bite 

But did you figure out what the yellow ring was for?

Err no  There was a similar one on the old one so im presuming its a colour coding thingamygig 

Maybe it's just so you know which one of the 14 different coolant temp sensors you're meant to order..

Yeah how stupid is that  Still it keeps the grease monkeys busy 

Should get better mpg now , last count was 85 miles off £10 before the new sensor 
The £50 a week im saving on fuel is going towards a nice holiday

Nice saving, even with the PITA factor.. if only I could bring myself to drive the girlfriends Micra to work & back instead of the Omega, maybe I could do the same!

I would have liked to have kept the omega but needs must  , having owned 3 elites i know what im missing comfort wise and the pug is not ideal for my needs but it will do as a stop gap till circumstances change .. Still love the omegas and no doubt ill be having another when possible , with the pug its great passing the petrol stations but you lot who have an omega dont need ear defenders like i do

  I don't really mind driving her Micra that much - granted it feels odd putting your foot to the floor and having nothing happen, but it's nippy enough around town (I suppose).

The bigger problem is that I'm a fat heffer and can only just get the damn seat belt done up 

[omega3000]

Well im not exactly slim  Its the getting in and out thats the problem , but its better than the old fiesta i had where you would easily rub shoulders with the passenger . Just amazed at how little fuel it uses and thats why i bought it , it could do with better soundproofing in the cabin but it does what i need it to . End of the day ill get to the destination and bac like anyone else but cheaper

The trouble is small cars and long distances dont mix.

If I drove a small car on the 100 mile daily round trip it will kill me off 

Interestingly, the 2.5 manual was pretty good on that trip getting around 38mpg.

You are invited to drive my clit Mr DTM   its quick and comfortable.. and can hide in any gap within an eyeflash .. besides can get through very narrow gaps

But no good for 2 hours a day on the motorway at speed.

you must try at least once   I have traveled with it long distances and didnt feel tired
 
ps: I only feel tired if I had silly average speeds

I did 90 minutes in SWTSMBO clit ... never again .. it drove fine .. although underpowered for motorway cruising .. and a shade noisy compared to omega ... BUT .. BIG BUT ..

I could hardly walk when I eventually managed to extract myself from it ... most uncomfortable seats/driving position you could wish for ... 

You want to be crippled for life ?? Use a clit for long distances/time  .... 

[Marks DTM Calib]

I have, tried clits, small cars, medium cars the works (we used to get rental cars for the trip so all sorts of stuff) and no, to noisey, to hard on the ride and seats not great.

Cheap solution - ear plugs and turn radio volume up
