Sold Omega 5 seater bridge beater with nice heater. *SOLD*

[Cavcraft]

2003 Omega 2.6 V6 (not Stu-) CDX automatic

175,000 miles, or something like that.

Sounds lovely and is actually not half tidy for the age.

Allegedly it wants two drop links for the MOT. I say allegedly because I've only driven it the sum total of about 11.7 yards as the MOT has expired and it's on ScORN. Did feel like the brakes were slightly spongey to be honest.

Cloth seats, snazzy alloys, has the appearance of a car that's been looked after

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Last MOT advisories were:

 

 

Advisory notice item(s)

• Brake pipe slightly corroded both front to rear (3.6.B.2c)
• Oil leak ()
• Rear Exhaust has a minor leak of exhaust gases (7.1.2)

 

 

 

£275, possible slight shiter's discount. The yard have offered me a pretty decent sum for this, but it's probably too good for that.

 

Could do with it gone pretty handy ideally, but if no interest (and the market for a big engine, probably stupidly high RFL'd Vauxhall can't be too big, I'd have thought) it can go to God's waiting room on the Wirral.

[omegod]

Brake pipes are a standard Omega advisory so ignore that, oil leak will be cam cover gaskets and not serious, droplinks are a piece of piss and pennies. That's a shit load of motor for the money and the 2.6 shifts very well for it's size 

[eddyramrod]

It does look rather nice.  If I was in need of a daily, etc etc...

[bezzabsa]

always had a softspot for Omegas, especially in estate form.

Bargain for someone there

[Bren]

It's a vauxhall with a petrol V6.

To be honest Billy I thought you would have commenced a full restoration by now....

[Shep Shepherd]

Flipping heck! That's far too good to go over the bridge. I hope that someone on here snaps it up.

Maybe George?

[Laseraligningfoofooflanges]

What shep sheperd said^ gib someone

[Tetleysmooth]

If you bridge that, plague and pestilence will descend upon you.

 

The Son of Senator.

 

What's not to like?

[Cavcraft]

If I don't bridge it I might not be able to go on the razz next Saturday. Then a plague and pestilence will descend on me in the form of Saturday night telly and my missus banging on about stupid things like wardrobes that need building and why my bike is still in the hall.

PFFFTTT. A small price to pay for saving an Omega.

You know it makes sense 

[taxi paul]

It doesn't make sense. Thtas what makes it a good idea. Do we have a reg number for this fine vehicle. Probably be a straight swap from my Celica. I could also drive it to pre booked mot.

[Cavcraft]

God knows what this is for on the front bumper

 

 

 

Ladies and gentlemen, all the way from Scotland it's Lacquer Peel

 

 

 

 

 

Engine is incredibly clean

 

 

 

 

I haven't been through the old MOTs and receipts, but there seems to be a right load there, and there's no pictures of the nearside because I totally couldn't be arsed moving the car enough.

[Ghosty]

That moustache is a giffer stick-on rubbing strip.

[BorniteIdentity]

That engine bay is amazing! Good luck with it man, hopefully Paul takes it on.

[stephen01]

​this is why I would be shit at this, I look at this and think how bloody clean it looks and would want to clean it, mot it then sell it for a loss. 

[Tamworthbay]

It’s a shame the kit car market isn’t what it once was. This would make a cracking donor.

[taxi paul]

I'm out I'm afraid. Silly insurance prices. Shame really has wouldn't mind scanning around in this.

[Cavcraft]

No worries chief, I’ll give it until Weds, maybe Thurs and see if it can find a home.

They prefer the 3.0 manuals, I don't understand why as these are drive by wire therefore much easier to transplant

I was going to link this to the Omega Owners Forum, but I don't have 250 posts to my name.

Also, they don't allow links to other sites.

Sorry Billy.

Looks like the clock is ticking with this one.

No worries, Dave and thanks for trying.

 

I want this. I cannot justify it. 

 

[Tam]

Got "Vauxhall Omega" in my saved searches on ebay just now. Anybody fancy driving it to Scotland?

[Cavcraft]

Soz to bang the drum, but any interest before I get the yard in? TetleySmooth v.kindly found a real life viewer for it today (who's joined Autoshite) but sadly he doesn't want it.

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

What a bloody shame. 

[Tetleysmooth]

Same old story, but if this were closer etc.etc.

[loserone]

This is criminal not getting picked up at this price, I'd do it myself but (distance, two broken Peugeots, five cars and two spaces, other lame excuses like money)
