[Sir Tigger KC]

If you did want it,we could do headgasket etc before you put it on the road 

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 .

A discount of £649.1p.
That's sir tigger land down there,

T'uver end of the county. 

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

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

Yes 

[Terbs]

I know paperwork is a great asset, but to be honest, the guy could be genuine.
To be frank....the Omega's are the first car I have ever kept paperwork on.
I had my Senator for 14 years....never kept a bill.

And Bill

[Terbs]

Frank and Bill.....they live amongst us...

I'm not sure about Frank, but Bill is waiting to be paid

[EMD]

Thank you for your enquiry regarding the omega. It has service history and can belt and oil and coolant changes.
Hope this answers your questions.

 

Ive just replied to that message asking a few more details , looks like its still for sale as the ad is still on .

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

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.

2.2 HG change is a doddle next to the V6.  Give me a shout when it does go, we'll crack it in a day unless you want the head skimming (there's a place in Fleet that does it for a few bob)

It may be but by god my back was knackered the next day

Then it would be off to Chilli & Spice which is just around the corner

Count me in!

Right.. When are we going to break Tunnie's desmond, then? 

The place in Fleet is great. Proper old-school engineering shop where everything comes back honed to within a fraction of a thou but with a layer of fag ash on it.

I had my Westfield engine fettled there. Took it in as a box of bits, and picked up a box of slightly more shiny bits a couple of weeks later.

Could do a pre-emptive repair?

Agreed on the engineering shop.  A real gem of a place.  Even did a Seagull outboard block for me once, he doesn't care about mininum sizes etc.

Well if you want Curry that much 

I do need work doing on the 3.2 now, which is:

- Replacement of faulty/dead lifter, I already have a bag of new ones. Kindly donated by Mr MasterDTM.   
- New Cambelt, which I already have too! It's a 3.0 one, but Master says the back plate can be switched over. 

I don't have a locking kit, plus I'm not too confident to strip down as far as the cams and remove them.

[tunnie]

I'm also liking sound of this place in Fleet, do they do welding? MasterDTM has done great jobs on welding in new exhaust flexi's on the 2.2, but if a local place is proper old skool, they might do it?

I need to my belt (it's overdue)  and I have the kit,  plus a teeny bit of experience changing them 

Let's find a suitable date to do them. . If we work side by side it'll go quick.
