  • Confused..

    Just watching border interceptors which is in Ireland. Now.. they were in an Insignia facelift, with the new centre stereo small screen one and climate but the clocks were the old red screen ones with the big surrounds around speedo etc... so how is this? New everything but old style clocks it’s really confused me [emoji23][emoji23]

      Odd...What year is it? I can't tell from the Irish number plate. Just wondered if it's a 2014 after they just changed from pre to facelift and used up some of the pre stuff on it because they weren't trying to sell it for its looks.

          I wonder if it's anything to do with them having calibrated speedometers? The car is a 15 plate by the way.

                Don't they have that category "Special" cars (for emergency services) or something like that. Where they're made specifically at the factory with maybe tougher suspension etc. They maybe use up some parts to keep the cost down a bit.

                    I seem to recall that when emergency services order a batch of vehicles (which they'll do by the hundred) they will specify what they DON'T want (e.g. radios, sat navs etc) that would only get ripped out when they refit them with all the official gubbins like ANPR computers, two way radios and so on. So they get a cheaper deal. Don't know what happens now that the infotainment systems are more integrated.

                          That's so they can do handbrake turns when chasing baddies.

                            am sure some of the very first insignias were normal handbrake
