Thoughts on this rare estate
« on: 31 October 2015, 12:05:50 »

I dont know what to do as ive always wanted the estate version of the Omega and was considering a 2.2 petrol  :-\ Ive been put off buying a 2.2 because ive heard so many stories of head gaskets going  :( But this one would need to have had everything done for me to even think about exchanging mine for it as mine has had everything done and emptied my wallet  ::)

2.2

And what does it mean by telephone equipment  :-\

It looks clean enough and same spec as mine , all depends on the crucial service history like proper coolant changes ect on the 2.2 or its going to go pop  :-\ Pity no engine pics as that sometimes gives it away . I'll email them .

Pity I am not down at the caravan...I would have popped along to have a look. That phone number is Blanford Forum area, I think. I am going down next Sunday for three weeks, if you are still interested, and its still there, I will have a look for you, if you like :y
Just checked the number, and he also has a motor home for sale....and that's in Wimborne...even better for me :y

183.5k here on my 2.2, head gasket yet to blow. 2.2's so much better to work on  :y

I change the oil every ~5k - Coolant gets changed every 2 years.

I do expect the  HG to go at some point, as mine does appear to buck the trend.  :-\  :(

I'll have to get Daz or call in favours when it does blow.

Thats the trouble with 2.2 unless the coolant system has been looked after , had the same on the 2.0 vectra where all the waterways had corroded and eaten into the head gasket  :(
Thanks for that offer terbert , ill see what he replies  :y

Yeah  :) He hasnt replied to my message so obviously not pushed to sell a car  >:( Or he cant think of a reply as i asked him any service history ie:
Crucial cam belt changes
Coolant and oil and filter changes  ::)

Would expect a good discount for no history .

This one looks nice though.   :y  It's a bit closer to Noofland, but sadly well out of Mr EMD's price range!  :P

He seems to have mislaid all of the paperwork. That's unfortunate  ::)
