General Car Chat / Re: Car Upholstery Cleaner ?

« on: 06 May 2013, 19:43:58 »

Anyone used this http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_204351_langId_-1_categoryId_255236

Its cheaper and its got the brush with it 

It's an odd looking thing ain't it  ...one review stated the top part came/broke off after 10 min use 

In terms of removing general marks and dirty stains it proved to be very good. However, it is a bit flimsy and the plastic cover that you press for operation broke off after 10 minutes. The top end also snapped off and had to be replaced on a number of occasions. However, it didn't affect the overall performance but if you pay for a product you would expect all the functionality to work well.

Thats ok i can use 3 quarters of it and snap the top off and get a replacement 

True

Can't see how having traction control disabled will aid 0-60 

Theres a button to turn TC off and on whenever on V6 models can't see police having a different TC set up, Just chipped ECU and lighter and presumably manual more bite for quicker  acceleration 

Can't chip a 3.2, its a myth that plod ones have been, not seen any viable ECU flashes available, ones that are give 5% max.

Police Omegas are actually heavier, only mods are that they have a beefier alternator to deal with plod kit, heavy duty springs and sometimes a LSD. Loaded up with plod gear, they are not hugely fast due to the weight.

Without the junk on board, would go as well as standard MV6.

my mistake then, Just thought I've read on more than one occasion on OOF people mentioning ex-plod ecu's are in high demand. Most plod had 15"/16" wheels also which would have added to quicker 0-60 not much but every little helps as Tesco say  .

General Car Chat / Re: Anyone on here bought this today (eBay)

« on: 06 May 2013, 10:32:47 »

I had it in my watch list

I put it out to Shiply to get  it transported back but the cheapest bid i got back was 150 quid

Making it not such a bargain 

Still a cheap fast and reasonably modern car for just £312  ..Not many other cars out there at this price matching Omega's size, RWD, age, Power 3.0 V6... I'd have happily paid £313 for it 

So you got a 3.2 by the looks of your profile 

Aye, more info on it in a few days

Got a 2010-2011 version around £20 delivered.. There's a few more in stock eBay item number: 110986083672

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/110986083672;jsessionid=DC24F7E1D3F4D137E29F38041A467649?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_from%3DR40%26_sacat%3D0%26_nkw%3D110986083672%26_rdc%3D1

Correction £22 GBP delivered offered 20 euro's seller accepted seems a decent price for a 2010-2011 disc seen many 2008 2009 2010 discs but hardly any 2011 ones  believe it a genuine copy as well after translating the page bonus
