Car Parts, bits For Sale & Wanted / Sachs Saloon Springs
« on: 04 November 2019, 15:36:13 »
I have a 2x pairs of un-used and brand new coil springs for the front & rear.

Fronts are still boxes and un-opened. Rears are new although not boxed.

These are non-SL type.

£75, ideally collected due to weight. I need to better investigate large parcel posting.  :-\

Fixed for you  :y

Don't know 2.0 that well.  :-\

Doubt it, as he suspects head gasket failure, therefore the engine would be worth more weighed in with the rest of the car than trying to sell it. Having said that he is now gauging interest in selling the whole car before dismantling it.
Don't blame him either. Dismantling an Omega and then packaging and sending off parts is a lot of hard work, and doesn't tend to bring great rewards these days.

Agreed, plus it's generally in really great shape body wise and everything else.

I've confirmed water/coolant is getting above the valves, plenum and inlet was removed. Nice green UV dye I put in was all above around valves.  :(

Clearly, if it must be a soot chucker, the V6 diesel is the one to have.  Actually, the V6 -S badged ones.
The non S V6 soot chucker is 235ish bhp
The S V6 soot chucker is 275ish bhp (up to about 2016ish, when it became 300)

Tax is the same, claimed economy is the same. Why would anyone buy the half-arsed one?  The more powerful one has 600Nm of torque as well, which will rip the tarmac from the road.

This is the problem, the only XF you can buy in my view is the XF-S. I sat in a few of the latest shapes XF's but the lower spec R-Sport or 2.0 ones did not have much adjustment in the seats, no electrical tilt.

The XF-S has more adjustment in the seats (no doubt an option on others) but makes it harder to find examples.

You need to spend £17-20k ish to get something half decent.

The seats in the SRi Mummy bus (MV6 cloth style) were far more supportive than any of the Jaaaags.

Before I break her....

http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=145858.0

Does anyone want her whole? I started her up to move onto some ramps to aid in removing bits and she fired straight into life.

The interior is excellent and so is the body work, sills have had the serek treatment and no issues here. Bose all working and has AUX in.

Was thinking what a shame it is to break her up, if someone ones to DIY the HG she would be good to go.

£400 to a good home?

Hyundai i40 diesel should tick all your requirements  :-X

So crunch time now, bargain banger or something newer.  Hummmm

Given your lack of time for DIY, I'd say get something newer. With your current mileage you'd be unlucky if you needed to do anything other than an annual service and topping up the washer fluid.

Then again, there's nothing easier than spending someone else's money  ;D

Im thinking banger barge to see me through winter, to not rush a decision.

Went to top up coolant this morning, last time drove was Friday. Entire header tank empty, it refused to clear its miss-fire. Previously it would miss for about 5s then clear and run fine. Ran it up to full temp, still would not clear and a lot of white steam out the back and miss firing.

Checked scuttle area even though heavy rain, dry underneath. All coil pack area was dry.

So crunch time now, bargain banger or something newer.  Hummmm

No worries, one thing though, did yours suffer a miss-fire when cold?

Just to add, he’s had the cats removed and the dpf delete and remap around 330bhp and ridiculous torque figure (wonder who he’s following? ::) ::))don’t know how long it will last but been 3 years already and he certainly doesn’t pussy foot around, however I know he’s trying on this journey for mpg as I asked him to. :y

Ahh ok so it’s been fiddled with a fair bit!!! Might explain much improved mpg over standard.

How was DPF delete done? As I recall MOT rules now check if ones fitted when it should be.

I'm generally regarded as one of the most light footed here and can eeek the most MPG, my record was 76mpg with my VW back in the day on a very long motorway run at truck speeds.

I'm also strongly considering XF of that vintage, so keen to know outcome. But when a JLR employee here can get close to those figures, but on much newer 2.0 inline 4 pots. Not to sure how you can get 60mpg average from a 3.0 apart from the odd second on an instant consumption view.

Looking good so far 84 miles and 60mpg showing!!

Not sure I can believe that with a 3.0 V6, I could get similar when I had my VW CC, but that was a 2.0 manual.
